Am I the only one who has trouble finding the right screwdriver that’s the right size and shape for the hardware I have to remove from a dresser?  Usually I need a flat-head screwdriver for the vintage pieces and I’m always misplacing them.  I use them so often for prying things, opening paint cans, etc. and I’m not the greatest at putting things away.

 So, when True Value sent me the Swift Driver by Master Mechanic, I thought, “This is a gadget that’s perfect for me!”

It basically is a hybrid between a regular screw driver and a drill.  You turn the handle and there are some gears inside that turn the tip a little faster. (I’m sure that’s not the technical description…)

…and it successfully removes the hardware (as it should.)

There’s a small switch on the side to turn, so it can drive or remove screws, much like a drill.   If you’re interested in seeing this tool in action, here’s a great video review.

It also comes with a bendable extender thingy (again, not the technical term)…

…and a set of driver bits.

 I especially like that the set includes square and star-tipped driver bits, since that’s mostly the kind of screws we buy (my husband is passionately anti-flat-tip screws.)

 I like gadgets that make things easier and all-in-all, the Swift Driver is a pretty good gadget.

Now if I can just make sure I don’t misplace it…
