Screwdriver doesn’t lose blades

Until now, multiblade screwdrivers have promised a lot of convenience for maintenance technicians. But almost without exception, they lose blades. With the Craftsman All-in-One screwdriver, each full-sized blade is stored in its own chamber until used. Just rotate the selector ring until the desired blade aligns with the arrow, slide it forward, and it clicks in place.
