Time saving HD tool
8 in 1 screw driver, bought one on inpulse buy last year (bad habit I have), this thing saves a crapload of time fiddling with bits and is self contained with most bits you would need. Not good for final TQ but very convenient.
I have two now one in bag and one on bench.

Since it's made by Snap-On I'm sure it's well made. I bought a 9/16 inch slotted deep well socket from Snap-On to adjust my driving/passing lights. Damn thing cost 30 bucks!
I bought a similar screwdriver at Family Dollar for 2 dollars.

I took a cheapo 9/16 deep well that probably came in a $1 box of auction tools and slotted it to adjust my lights.

It is good for most fasteners except the ones that require a TQ wrench.
Yes those types of screw drivers are handy. The ones with bits usually don't feel as "tight" as a good solid screwdriver. I noticed that you commented it isn't good for final TQ, so I have to ask, If you need a different tool for final TQ, then is this really handy?

Not necessary true anymore. I have a lot of snap-on tools and a lot of there stuff is off shore now and the quailty is not what it use to be.
Saying it is not good for final torque is telling me it is not has good as it could be..
this is just my 02-cents

Klien tools makes a 5 in 1 and a 10 in 1. Although I don't think there are any square recessed on HDs.

Man, what a coincidence. I was going through the Hd parts catalog tonight looking for cheap Christmas gifts my adult children could get me for Christmas ( it embarrasing when a dozen people pitch in for a $50 gift) and I came across this and thought I'm getting this one way or the other since I have a bag of tools on the bike with more stuff than I need. Thanks for sharing - maybe it'll end up in some other stockings.

Here's a neat trick I learned from a security guy. You can carry all the apex bits for your screwdriver in an ammo pouch. Try to get one for .22 cal because the bits seem to fit those the best. This way they are all layed out as soon as you open the pouch.
