Wiha 76000 SoftFinish CentroFix Bit Holder

This is a simple, hand held, bit-locking driver, if that's what you are after.It accepts the standard 1/4th inch bits that fit your various screw heads. They lock into the holder with no magnet. It has a collar that you push forward to engage and the bit locks in when it retracts back. To release, you push the collar forward and it lets go. There is no magnet to hold the bit in beyond this. A weak magnet would be a nice touch to keep bits from going flying, when you are careless. The connection is solid though. It locks bits in there tight. You can use 1" or longer bits if you want a little more reach. Let's face it. Screwdriver tips wear out, not usually the handles and shafts. So just throw on a new tip when it's time has come. That's about it for function....Form is ideal though. It's solid and weighty, but not overly so. Feels solid and durable. The red on the handle is a hard plastic, and the black is a solid rubber for grip. The strength is in the shape though. It is correctly shaped to fit in the hand very well.Your hand works with the last three fingers providing most of your grip strength and the thumb and pointer finger used for pinching things. (That's why in ancient Japan, a punishment for Samurai was cutting off the pinky finger, which put them at great disadvantage in gripping a sword securely) This handle takes advantage of the anatomy, with a fat, meaty end for grasping, and a thinner neck for the thumb and index finger to fit for fine movements. It feels perfect, perfect in your hand.My only issues with alignment. I had to return the first one due to the handle and head being offline by 5-10 degrees to the right. This one is better, but still seems just a hair off to the back this time. Still, not enough for me to return, but pay attention and make sure yours is in plumb on arrival.Overall, it's a solid, simple bit-holding screwdriver with a perfect handle.

This is the best nut-driver tool I have used. I am very impressed with the quality and sturdiness of this tool. Absolutely no wiggle with the bits. I love this handle, and highly recommend it!

so good

It is a very nicely built tool. But what is most useful about it, is if you are buying 50 radically different bits for JIS, POZDRIV, Robertson, Torks, Phillips, HEX drive metric and inch, and and and. I do not need durable drives bits, only 50 different ones, that are small, organized to solve some problem here and away. This tool grabs on to the bit firmly and feels good in the hand, and makes a tight connection.

The photo shows 3 of my favorite drivers. On the left, the Wiha 387 (made in Germany) holds bits firmly without any wobble, even long bits like the Milwaukee 3-inch bit. It is unchallenged for holding bits rock steady and wobble-free, the way a real screwdriver is supposed to do (but most bit drivers do not).In the middle, the Anex 397 (made in Japan) ratcheting ball handle screwdriver (Philips and Straight 4-inch shaft) features a well placed reversing lever (not easily bumped out of position like many other ratcheting drivers) and a fine control thumb-and-forefinger drive that fits your hand like a glove.On the right, the MegaPro Automotive (Canadian/American made) magnetic tip driver has the lowest back drag and the best onboard bit storage for standard 1-inch bits in a large size driver for big hands.Can't go wrong with any of these fine drivers.

This is the best screwdriver handle I have ever found or used. This is the only bit holder that has absolutely no slop or bit wiggle. Most handles retain the bits but they have some slop allowing you to wiggle the bits slightly from side to side. That is not the case here, The bits are solidly retained with no wiggle whatsoever so ever. It’s expensive but after you use it once, you can never go back to anything else.

This is a really good multi bit screwdriver. I love the large handle and great grip. It fits regular bits and the locking mechanism holds them tight without any rattling or falling out. I got this and a set of bits to keep in my truck bc it doesn’t take up very much space but can handle many tasks. I find myself going to my truck and using this instead of my other screwdrivers.

The title says it all. No exaggeration whatsoever. There is no better locking bit holder out there from any other manufacturer or even from Wiha themselves. Gone are the days that I have to carry dedicated drivers which for an electrician is more than any other trade. I've never liked bit holders because of the slop but this one doesn't have any. Don't believe me, try it for yourself.
