I'll stick with picking up two or three 4-in-1 (or 6-in-1 if you count removing the reversable bit in each end and use the open hex end of the shaft) screwdrivers everytime I go to Harbor Freight for $2.99 each. Works fine, I can keep one in each room of the house and I don't cry if I lose them. And they come in pretty flourescent colors too! Looks like more stuff to lose.

(Sounds like the sort of thing Festool would come up with.) But I share your skepticism of thie gadget-for-its-own-sake's real usefulness. I'm happy with the 4 bits in the rubber holders on my regular driver; if I need more than those 4, I generally need something weird from the big palette of 50 or so.
