THE REVIEW:
N
ot having to carry a dozen
different screwdrivers
around the shop, especially when moving from one
application to another, can be
a real time saver, said Lou Fort,
lead technician at K.A.R.S.
Inc. in Huntingburg, Indiana.
With Wiha Tools' SoftFinish
Multi-Drivers, Fort was able
to grab one screwdriver and
interchange its bits as needed,
enabling him to carry on with
his day.
Fort reviewed both Wiha Tools
SoftFinish Multi-Drivers sets: the 6inOne
Multi-Drivers, No. 77890, and 11inOne
Multi-Drivers, No. 77891. Both were
" super easy " to use. " The bits and shafts
both pull out easy and go back in just as
easy, " he said. " All you have to do is either
flip the bit or the shaft and bit, depending
on what fastener you're working on. "
What he liked most about the multidrivers is how they fit in the palm of his
hand. The tools feature an ergonomic
cushion grip for comfort.
He also liked the number of tip choices and their construction. The 6inOne
multi-tool includes four screwdriver and
two nut driver tips, whereas the 11inOne
tool includes eight screwdriver and three
nut driver tips. " All of the bit tips are very
high quality and provide a solid slip-free
grip on the fasteners, " Fort noted on their
precision machined tips.
In the shop, Fort mostly used the multidrivers on lower bottom panels for a variety of makes and models. The tools have
also been " quite useful " when changing

air filters on Volkswagens and
on Volvo and Audi engine
c omponent s c over s ,
where Fort said one can
find two to three different
Torx head fasteners.
" I used to use several different screwdrivers or use a bit assortment, " Fort
noted. " I don't anymore. [Now] I'm using
the 11inOne Multi-Driver. "
As a technician who's seen many tools
in his career, Fort has used similar multitool bit drivers for years. While a few had
switchable shafts, he's never seen or used
one where the shaft flips.
The only improvement Fort would
recommend is having a set that offered
different length shafts. " That would be
helpful, " he noted.
Even still, Fort said without question
the Wiha Tools SoftFinish Multi-Driver
sets are both " top shelf " tools, offering
high quality at an affordable price.
