Overview
Our take on the Skewdriver SPK4040 by Crutchfield's Bob Bihlmayer
A screwdriver for those hard-to-reach places
The Skewdriver Pro SPK4040 kit features 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. The kit includes the Skewdriver offset bit driver with its removable storage handle, 40 professional hardened tool steel bits, and two magnetic drive extensions.
The 40 bits include Phillips, Allen, flatblade, Torx-type, Robertson (square), and Skewsockets hex head insert bits for Metric and SAE hex head screws, plus a hex to square adapter for 1/4″ drive sockets. Remove the handle and the Skewdriver can be used with low-speed power drivers. If you install car audio/video equipment, you'll appreciate having this handy kit around.

Skewdriver SPK4040
Ive had my last set set for about 10 years but the head started stripping so i knew i had to break down and buy a new one. But now that i have im glad i did. The bigger assortment of tips was a nice plus. The handle grips the driver nice and snug. The shipping didnt take long also.

Skewdriver SPK4040
Excellent product
Pros: Excellent product makes car audio work a breeze
Cons:
Must have install tool
Bought this tool along with the components for a complete overhaul to the system in my 2007 Wrangler. Can not imagine how difficult the install would be without this tool. I did a little internet shopping and found Crutchfield had one of the best prices on this tool too. Can't recommend this highly enough.
Pros: Angled driver with ratcheting. Awesome!
Cons: Can be a little bulky and not useful for very tight spaces.

Notes
In place of the handle, an electric 1/4 power driver can be used
(1/4 horsepower max) (100 in-pounds max at 400RPM). An air/impact
driver can NOT be used. It is recommended to lubricate the gear
head periodically with light machine oil (WD 40 or
SAE 10 weight).
The handle has a storage bin to retain a few bits.

Crutchfield asked
Why did you buy this?
I purchased 2 of these years ago for my husband and father in law. It is one of the most used tools they use. While building our home we had our cabinets built by the Amish and they came to install them and ended up using this tool of ours. They were so impressed they had me order several sets for them. [ Paula Dec 05, 2018 ]
I need an offset screwdriver to access mounting screws for the in dash tweeter and ctr channel, and I used to use the SkewDriver brand when I was a car audio / security system installer back in the day (~25 yrs ago!!). Loved it, and it is the original, after all. [ LEWIS Nov 19, 2018 ]
The offset ratcheting of this driver makes it very attractive for jobs involving tight/awkward spaces. This will be useful for all sorts of jobs, not just automotive. [ Jordan Jun 06, 2018 ]

Crutchfield does not have the separate handles. I would recommend checking with the manufacturer, Spec Tools. Their Customer Service & Tech Support# is 508-580-5800. [ Kenny Sep 23, 2016 ] Staff
