We really like Klein Tools® adjustable 8-in-1 Stubby Screwdriver and the Malco combo nut drivers. The Malco tools come in short and medium-length quick-change shafts. The nut drivers have a different size on each end and are color-coded so after a bit of use, a quick glance will tell you what size to get ready. The nut driver ends are pulled off over a ball and detent, reversed, and pressed back in place. The shaft fits standard quick-change chucks found on many cordless drill units. They are nicely finished and look like they'll last a long time.
The 8-in-1 Stubby Screwdriver is well thought through with a bit carousel built into the handle. The overall length of the driver can be set at 3 different lengths, thanks to a spring-loaded sleeve and a series of detents on the driver shaft. The shaft can be removed entirely and another driver shaft, such as the Malco® nut drivers, can be inserted.
Klein Tools® 8-in-1 Stubby Screwdriver was purchased for $17 at Lowes, Item number 5349026, here is the link that was active at the time of filming.

Malco® tools are available from many appliance repair and parts houses, as well as from major home improvement chains such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, and Menard's. They offer many configurations and handle setups.
I've found myself reaching for these tools right away, and I think you'll have the same experience.
JUST DO IT YOURSELF!

hey der farmer J here from dir farmer
j.com don't you just love it when you
find some really handy tools well we did
I'm going to pass along two great
solutions that should be in your
[Music]
toolbox hey dir farmer J here from
dirtfarmer j.com we found a couple great
tools that's our pleasure to pass on to
you we don't get commissions on these we
bought them ourselves we're not the Home
Shopping Network but when we find
something we think you ought to know
about we're glad to pass it on and such
is the case today one of the tools that
we found is from Malco and Malco makes
these little drivers that are combo nut
drivers that use the Quick Connect Chuck
uh and allow you with on the same stem
to use multiple size nut drivers and
they're colorcoded so if I rotate that
around you'll see that Blues are
3/8 and yellows are 516 and I believe
they have these in millimeter sizes as
well to change out the size if I'm doing
5/16 but I need 3/8 you simply pull them
apart
reverse put them back together with the
detent in
here and now you have the larger size
and on this one it's a smaller the red
is a/4 inch and again the yellow is
516 the other thing that's really nice
about these they come in longer lengths
like this too and they do go in those
quick chuts for many of your standard
cordless drill
drivers and as any good nut driver
should be these are magnetized you can
see the super strong magnet in the base
of each of the recesses there so we'll
put a little Fastener there and boom
boom boom handy huh the second tool is
Klein's 8 in one stubby you look at this
and go well that's that's cool who needs
to buy a little stubby screwdriver like
that well
on its own right it's really great uh
for those small spaces but what if you
could change out the tip to all sorts of
drivers and they were right on board so
if you look right there there's the
Carousel of all sorts of the different
Philips sizes the square drives or
earlier known as Robertson drives
straight blade and so you have all these
different ones plus the number two
Philips bit right at the beginning but
the magic doesn't stop there this is
also adjustable in length so if you need
something a little bit longer you can
pull back this right here and you'll
find there's a series of three different
detents on the shaft that allow you
number
one number two or number
three right there and now you have the
same screwdriver three different lengths
and if you had to use this for your
driver you could pull it out and look at
that it also has the quick Chuck uh
configuration on it this is really handy
Klein Tools also has this in a longer
configuration and they also have this
type of driver where they're all stacked
on the same shaft and you can come up
with several different sizes with the
same tool one tool in your toolbox these
were originally configured for people
that were in the appliance repair
business because these three
sizes uh in American uh appliances 38
5/16 and quars are extremely common so
having those ready to go in the toolbox
using a quick Chuck driver or a driver
something like this really works well
are these interchangeable well yes they
are even if it's cross brand now I have
a driver right here that I can use as a
nut driver that's pretty handy isn't it
well if you're a real fan of the Quick
Connect system for drill trucks you've
got to check out this great tool set
from Montana brand tools one of our
favorite American Manufacturing
companies and they have this great set
check it out we think you're going to
like it as much as we do and while
you're at it check out this other video
episode that YouTube has chosen for you
and your interest and we think you're
going to like it too until the next time
