Klenk Geared Ratcheting Select-A-Bit Screwdriver

By Gordon DeWitte On November 9, 2009 · 5 Comments · In Hand Tools, Klenk, Multi-tools

While leafing through my “Ideas for TM Posts” file, I found a page I had cut from the Feb. 2009 issue of Popular Mechanics that mentioned the Klenk DA86450 Select-A-Bit™. It’s a ratcheting screwdriver with a 4:1 gearing produced by holding the nose piece (which causes the bit to turn four times for each single turn of the handle). The 4:1 option is for driving screws and nuts in low-torque applications; the 1:1 ratio is recommended for higher-torque.

I’m getting older. I don’t wear black socks with sandals while grilling out yet, but I’m getting there. So when I saw Klenk’s “dual duct knife” I instantly thought, “that’s a stiletto someone’s trying to pass for a work knife.” And after a closer look, I still think that’s what it is.
