I’ve seen novelty tools before, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a stubby screwdriver in the shape of a grenade. The two reviews on Amazon didn’t speak highly of the tool’s durability. Unless you’re hankering for a grenade-shaped keychain, the Picquic Teeny Turner will serve better for on the go screwdriving. Grenade Screwdriver Set via Amazon

Home Depot Husky Holiday Tool Gift Guide
This weekend I visited a few major tool and home improvement stores for a sneak peek of their winter holiday tool gift displays. As expected, the two Home Depots closest to me had most of their displays up already. Similar to last year’s selection, there were a few power tools in the mix, but there was a […]
Lutz 15-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver
Long-time reader Joe sent us a comment recommending the Lutz 15-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver. Joe writes: I was on vacation and had to assemble a ton of flat pack furniture and picked this up at the local Ace. I have used ratcheting screwdrivers before and they always seemed clunky and cheap. This little screwdriver made the […]

Wiha Measure-Up Screwdrivers Review
Wiha recently released new screwdrivers based off their SoftFinish cushion grip drivers. These new Measure-Up screwdrivers feature inch and metric measuring scales on the shafts of the drivers. Initially I was skeptical that these new drivers were just another “gimmicky’ tool but I was soon proven wrong, as you will see in the following hands-on review.

Wiha’s Orbit Screwdriver
In yesterday’s post, Alex mentioned that when preparing to adjust his headlights he had an overwhelming number of screwdrivers to choose from. So which did he use for the job? One of Wiha’s Orbit screwdrivers. These drivers have pivoting tips that allow up to 20° of offset, useful for hard-to-reach fasteners.
So How Do You Like Your Screwdrivers?
After driving around and blinding everyone on the road, I decided that it was time to adjust the headlights on my truck. When I opened the screwdriver drawer of my toolbox, I was momentarily overwhelmed with the many tools choices ready to tackle the task at hand. We all know how important it is to have the […]
Offset Screwdrivers – Once You Need ’em, You’ll Love ’em
I’ve never really been a fan of offset screwdrivers – they just didn’t seem too convenient to me. Until now. There was a fastener I needed to reach in a really low-clearance area, and none of my usual low-profile drivers fit. None, except for the offset Phillips driver that sat unused in a drawer for a few years […]
PB Swiss Torx Set For an Unbelievably Low $15
Amazon has gone crazy with their PB Swiss tool pricing. Some of their product offerings have been priced ridiculously low lately (50% discount or more!). These items often jump back up in price after a single purchase is made, which is why we haven’t been mentioning these deals. BUT, we did find a great deal that […]

Gearwrench 4″ Screwdriver Price Mistake
While not as amusing as the $100 billion Estwing Fireside Friend Splitting Tool error, I spotted this 4″ Gearwrench screwdriver selling for nearly $100. But wait, that’s at an 82% discount from the list price of $532.50! And there are only four left!! Better hurry! Oh, Amazon… Gearwrench 80007 4″ Phillips Screwdriver via Amazon
