Our take on the Skewdriver Pro SPK4042

The Skewdriver Pro kit contains an offset bit driver, a right-angle tool that's perfect for removing the screws that secure some dash speaker grilles, getting to screws in hard-to-reach trim pieces, or working in tight quarters anywhere in your car or home. Kit includes:

  • 4 slotted head bits
  • 4 Phillips head bits
  • 4 Robertson bits (square drive)
  • 11 Allen bits (hex drive)
  • 8 Torx bits (star drive)
  • adjustable ratcheting handle has storage compartment that holds several bits
  • 8 assorted sockets
  • 1/4-inch hex-to-square adapter
  • stabilizer arm

If you install car audio/video equipment, you'll appreciate having this handy kit around. Warranty: lifetime.

A Must Have For Any Toolbox

this ratcheting screwdriver set is the best one I've ever owned. It has everything you need for easy to the most difficult of jobs. It is very comfortable in your hand, and with the ability to use it as a straight screwdriver or an offset screwdriver, you can get to just about anything with ease! I highly recommend picking up one, or more of these sets. After I bought mine, I couldn't imagine not being without one!!

Amazing

Written By Thumper, Wilmington NC on Saturday, June 25, 2011
 
These things are AMAZING. I have used one since I started my car audio career back in1992. I have had the Black & Decker one - junk, the Milwaukee one - good but no handle, bits, or case, several other no name brands, and this one, the Original "Skewdriver" brand. The Skewdriver pro is by far the best. The rest just fall apart after a few weeks at the shop. Get one of these and have it any time you need it for many years to come.

Had this for Years

I have had this product for years. I first saw it at an install shop when I was 17 and getting my first real stereo put in. The guy had got it from Crutchfield way back then. I am now almost 27, have had the kit for probably 7 or 8 years, and even the other day I used it to install allen bolts in a tight space when putting together one of those 10'x10' backyard metal umbrella tents. As densely as it was threaded, and about 2" long, each bolt would have taken a few minutes, and there were 48 of them. I probably saved 2 hours because of this tool. It is especially useful when putting in speakers in your rear deck, as you won't be lazy and only tighten 2 or 3 screws after you partially strip them and destroy your tint. If this saves you even 20 minutes of your life, believe me, this is worth it. You'll use it many times in the future, I guarantee you.

This tool set is money!

Written By SOLER, NW Florida on Monday, September 26, 2011
 
This tool set is great...I've had it for 4 years now, and use it often. I don't use the handle as much as I use the pieces in my cordless drill. Very handy and useful tool set. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is due to the tool case...it's not very durable and the clasp that holds it closed broke after only a few uses.
