Megapro Screwdriver Review – The Most Versatile Screwdriver for DIY

The Megapro® Drivers are a high-quality collection of screwdrivers with an excellent built-in storage system for keeping track of, storing, swapping—and avoiding dropping and losing—the tool’s double-sided bits. The range of bits supplied with the drivers allows you to complete a task without having to go back to your toolbox. There are a variety of Megapro® Drivers with different bit sets for both general and specialty use.

There are a number of similarities among all Megapro® Drivers.

  • The drivers each have a retractable bit compartment located at the top of the driver. This allows for easy storage and organization of bits, making any job that much easier. There are multiple double-ended bits to assure you’ve got the right fit for the job at hand. There’s no reason why two-inch long double-ended quarter-inch hex bits with a mid-length ball detent shouldn’t fit this tool, either. This can also be used as a ¼ inch fastener driver without a bit inserted.
  • The bit compartment closes solidly (stays closed) and mates with the handle well but is not hard to open when needed. The bit carrier inside the handle opens and closes smoothly, and a magnet ensures it stays closed securely.
  • The patented rotating EZ Guide Collar™ allows you hold the driver at the top of the driver shaft for precision while rotating the grip to drive or remove delicate fasteners or while working in tight spots.
  • They also all have a patented Palm Saver Cap™, which does not turn as the user turns the driver. You can firmly apply pressure to the end cap with your palm while freely rotating the grip to drive or remove stubborn fasteners. This allows the screw to be driven with much more ease.
  • The shaft of all drivers can be used as a 1/4? Hex Nut Driver.
  • All Megapro drivers are manufactured in the United States (in Niles, Michigan)
