A new twist on an old tool. Master Mechanic dual-drive screwdriver employs a patented gear drive ratchet design that doubles your screwdriving efficiency. Drives the screw when you turn the handle clockwise AND counter-clockwise. 29-pc. set includes flexible shaft extension and multiple bit sizes for a variety of applications. Includes 7 phillips, 3 slotted, 4 hex, 3 square, 4 star, 6 SAE nut driver bits, and bit case. Ergonomic handle has a non-slip rubber grip and can store bits.
What I love. . .
- No electric, no batteries required.
- The dual ratcheting action was a lot easier on my hand and wrist! Every time I turned my wrist, it was working to get the job done, both left and right. It’s lightweight too.
- I loved that I didn’t have to go searching for a specific type of screw driver since it has multiple interchangeable bit sizes (which can be stored in the handle) and since the bits are universal…I could grab one for the cordless drill when needed.
- We ran into several tricky tight spots and the flexible shaft extension came in super handy (and even attached to the cordless drill).
Take a look at how I used it A LOT during the apartment renovation {still use it!}. From removing and re-attaching cabinet hardware to changing out doorknobs to installing shelving brackets to tightening vanity screws to hanging a mailbox to assembling furniture, this tool was super helpful.
Example: When I’m re-attaching cabinet hardware and place the screw into the pre-drilled hole, I turn the screwdriver clockwise. Then, when I turn counter-clockwise, it’s turning the screw, pushing it further into place too. I love that! I don’t have to change my grip! Just keep winding right, left, right, left. Then with a push of a button, the same works in reverse to remove the screw. So cool!
So, if you are looking for a great gift idea for a DIY’er a non-DIY’er too or stocking stuffer OR you’re tired of sore palms or digging for the right screwdriver, I know this would be a HUGE hit. The recipient is not going to be disappointed, won’t ask for the gift receipt and WILL use it!
The Master Mechanic Swift Driver is available {and on sale!} at True Value Hardware.

I have just started DIYing and have found that the right tool makes all the difference. I would love a miter saw. I can see myself making some shelves or installing my own baseboards or crown moulding!
Wow: a replacement screwdriver with multiple bits is already on my Christmas list. This one would be the Lamborghini of screwdrivers, I think!
My True Value wish list is to have my “own” tools for my DIY projects. My husband would love for me to have “my own tools!” Thank you for this opportunity! And, Merry Christmas!
Gosh what’s not on my list. Hardware stores are like candy stores for me!!

I am desperately in need of a screwdriver set. I have one phillips and one regular. The tip is bent on the regular and pretty well stripped on the phillips. My hands are sometimes stiff too, so this would be awesome!

Hubby desires a bench grinder!!
Planning on starting a dyi kitchen project and have only a couple tools on hand. Great giveaway.
It’s small but mighty…the vinyl siding metal hangers. My local True Value is the only place I can find them and they are a “must have” all year long, but especially at Christmas. I hang wreaths and other other lighted holiday decor from them. My husband says it’s one of our “best finds”. I can never have enough!
Couldn’t we all use this handy tool? Would be great to keep in a draw for quick easy jobs without having to dig through the tool box!!
Love, Love, Love any kind of tools but especially power tools! Thank you for the opportunity to win a fabulous giveaway!
I think I might just get the Master Mechanic Swift Driver for my husband and one for my son.
