It’s all about versatility in our test of the top eight multibit/screwdriver sets

Kim Adams

Nuts and bolts on cars have changed little over the years, but smaller fasteners are very different – and often a normal screwdriver won’t shift them. Short of a large toolbox and budget, the solution is a multibit set covering not only the familiar flat, Phillips, Pozidriv and hex heads, but Star, Torx, Torq and Tri-wing fasteners, too.

There are also sets for the security versions. They can be used in power tools such as cordless screwdrivers to speed up jobs, plus they’re easy to individually replace if they’re damaged. There’s a wide range available with makers yet to settle on what should be covered. Which are the head-turners? We tried eight to find out.

How we tested them

We looked for all the common fasteners, plus extra ranges and duplicates for popular sizes. Somewhere to keep them was a must, plus we wanted markings on bit and holder. The driver was checked for comfort and a smooth ratchet mechanism.

Value was also a factor, with prices from various sources as we went to press, but we focused on driver bits rather than sockets, which are often covered by other sets.

Verdict

The comprehensive Halfords Ratchet Screwdriver and Bit Set wins again. The top-quality but unusual Siegen is second, ahead of the well thought out Kennedy.

1. Halfords Ratchet Screwdriver and Bit Set
2. Siegen S01036
3. Kennedy Mechanics Screwdriver Bit Set
