Has anyone worked with this little guy? It looks almost perfect for my needs if it can handle a standard 1/4" bit. The ones it comes with look shorter, but I can deal with lower torque, I just want something smaller than my Versatool.

Ironraven,

It's alright for a little tool. It will hold three bits inside the tool and the magnet that holds the bits in the working end seems pretty strong. I got mine from Kershaw when I emailed them about replacement parts and they sent me a free one. I took off the little keychain attachment they had on it (A V shaped piece of bent steel through the lanyard hole and inserted one of my homemade keyrings (316 SS 1/16 TIG wire) so it would be stronger) right now it stays ine the guncabinet with my knives and handguns so i will know where it is.

It is about the size of a Mini Sharpie but thinner without the keyring attachments. With all three bits stored in it it doesn't rattle or anything.

That's about it

I posted about this under the heading "Kershaw Customer Support" or something similar if you want more info I think i included the bit sizes in that post

the post is here:

Ah, yes- I had no idea at the time what it was.

Will it use standard 1/4 hexagonal shanked, 1" long driver bits? I need to be able to carry a #1 phillips and a security bit for computer cases. My Leatherman works for everything else.

It handles the bits from my black and decker bit set and they are the same size as every other bit i have used.

I think it may work for what you want to use it for
