Bit Bar

I purchased this in January of 2023, Order #252468. I was skeptical that it would hold up to everyday pocket carry, but have been pleasantly surprised and wanted to leave a review on its quality and capability to hold up to everyday carry. I have pocketed this now for 700+ days, and after two years of carry the Bitbar v1 is still going strong with no complaints. Outside of a few scratches it still looks and functions as it did when it was brand new.

Great little tool, easy to carry and good quality

Fit right in the pouch I got from Amazon with my other stuff it makes a great addition.

It works well as described for the weight and form factor and the finish looks great. I'd give five stars but the extension bar that was included arrived with the shank installed backwards. It's impossible to use as the socket where bits are installed is completely circular. I've replaced it with my own and its part of my daily kit.

The Bit Bar is a great little screwdriver! Pocket screwdrivers have one main problem: bits. Some have two or three bits, others have several mini bits rattling around in them, and still others require carrying separate bit packs.
The Bit Bar solves this problem for me. It holds eight 1” long 1/4” bits to cover a lot of bases. Personally, I have three torx bits to cover most of my pocket knives, two Phillips, and three slotted. The bits are in the screwdriver (not rattling around), organized, easily accessible, and the Bit Bar is compact and easily carried in a pocket.

Now, some simple tricks and notes:
1. To slide the bits out: I put my fingers on the pocket clip and push the bar with my thumb.
2. To remove a bit: I raise the bits, pinch the bit I want, and lower the bit bar leaving the bit free.
3. Use bits that have a tall shoulder. Some 1/4” bits have a shorter 1/4” section and put color bands and such on them. Lower shoulder bits can jam the movement of the bar.
