The handle is very soft & the ratchet system make driving screws a snap. Takes half the time & half the effort. I bought this for my wife to make it easier for her & I use it more than her. Great choice of screw heads included.

3.0 out of 5 stars Heavy duty driver, but poorly designed., June 9, 2008

This review is from: Stanley 68-010 10-Inch Multi-bit Screwdriver (Tools & Home Improvement)

Stanley Tools labels this Contractor Grade, and it certainly is quite hefty in weight and feels heavy duty. But I found this to be an unpleasant tool to use. This is due to its long length and the large unbalanced, bulky handle, which is covered with a rough feeling rubber. Holding this tool is awkward and using it uncomfortable.

The tool comes with 10 screwdriver bits, six of which are in the handle. Turning the driver knob to access the bits requires some effort. Also, the bits do not easily pop out. I had to use a pair of needlepoint pliers to pull out the bits. The driver is made in Taiwan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mix of good and not so good, November 6, 2007

This review is from: Stanley 68-010 10-Inch Multi-bit Screwdriver (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have two of these, and I use them often because the ratcheting feature is so handy. But I'm not sure I'd recommend this particular version.

Pros:

- The ratchet mechanism is very handy, if you don't have a screwdriver with bits and a ratchet get one. Maybe this one, maybe not.

- The grip is large and has a finish that's easy to grasp and turn.

Cons:

- It's big - 10.5" with the tip - so there are places you can't get into with this.

- But, you don't get the benefit of the size - it's not able to drive screws that a screwdriver this size should be able to. The bits are more standard and small (1-point and 2-point Phillips, 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch slotted), so they slip in large screws. So - this won't replace all your other screwdrivers - only the medium sized jobs.

- I've never used the other tips it comes with.

- It's not well balanced. The tip end is heavy.

So it's not a tool I love using, every time I pick it up I think it could be better.
