Ratcheting Screwdriver, Multibit Set, 26-Piece (CMHT68001)

I bought this Craftsman ratcheting screwdriver mainly for general home and kayak gear maintenance, and it’s honestly hard to beat for the price. The value is the first thing that stands out—26 pieces plus an extension/magnetic bit holder included for around $16 is genuinely impressive. I wasn’t expecting it to feel this complete at that price point. In use, the ratcheting mechanism is smooth and functional, making it easy to drive screws quickly without constantly repositioning your grip. The magnetic extender is also more useful than expected, especially for reaching deeper or awkward spots where a standard bit wouldn’t work. The build quality feels solid for both a budget tool and even compared to some more expensive options I’ve used. Nothing feels flimsy, and it has that typical Craftsman reliability you’d expect for light-to-medium duty work. Pros: Excellent value (26-piece set for the price) Smooth ratcheting action Useful magnetic extension piece included Solid overall build quality for the cost Good for general household and light mechanical work Cons: Not a heavy-duty professional-grade tool Bit selection is useful but not specialized Handle ergonomics are basic rather than premium

This seems to be a "love or hate" product when you read the reviews. For me... Not having nut drivers was no big deal. The listing didn't offer them and I already have them. I bought the set for what it was, ratcheting screw driver with phillips, straight, hex head, square head and torx tips. There was also mention of "not fitting in the case". But, if you released the extension from it's first position, it drops into the handle and easily fits in the case. I did not like how the magnetic wand fit in the extension and after reading a review that mentioned how a person solved the "not fitting in the case" issue, I did exactly what the reviewer described. I removed the ratchet head and the lock ring that prevented the extension from coming out of the handle. (See the first photo). Now the extension comes out of handle and the magnetic wand fits into the handle without the extension. Please know, if you do this, the extension slides out easily, when not locked into one of the length settings. This may have been why the ring was put on, so that certain users wouldn't complain about the extension "falling out". For me, this is exactly how I wanted the screw driver to be, so I'm happy and thank that reviewer. As to tips not directly fitting into the ratchet head and falling into the handle.... that hasn't been the case with this one. The second photo shows the PH3 tip that came with the set, sitting directly in the ratchet head. The tip is seated and will not push through. The only difference between being directly in the ratchet head vs. the extension, is that it fits a little looser (as the ratchet head is not magnetized like the extension). I did not expect the magnetic wand to be as strong as it is. There is pic that shows my car keys, 4 feet in the air, with the extension bending slightly under the weight of them. This pick up also paid for the set by retrieving an oil plug that fell into the drain pan during an oil change. The thing I find weird with the screwdriver, is that the extension does not lock in when seated all the way in against the ratchet head. It has to be extended to the first notch to be locked in. This is why it doesn't fit the case, unless it is released. This is shown in the third photo. But, as I can remove the extension and use the ratchet head directly, it doesn't matter to me. For the price, it ratchets in both directions, locks to become a solid driver and is comfortable in the hand. There are multiple tips, telescoping magnetic pick up and case. For what I've done with it, it's been great and should be even better when I magnetize the ratchet head.

Compact and works well. Even though the shaft is near impossible to remove. There are videos in the review section explaining what's causing it and how to remove. Other than that it's a great set and love the case it comes with.

Good screwdriver. The ratcheting saves the wear out of the wrist when screwing in a lot of screws. The screwdriver comes with a lot of Bits so you can always have the right one for the job. The case that it comes with does not fit the screwdriver.

Nice set. Compact but complete. The driver and bit set are solid and hold together well. The included storage wallet has enough room to carry some other Craftsman fixed bit screwdrivers, adding to the versatility. Very good value.

Amazing tool for everyone. Most used tool around the house . Get it , you won’t regret it .

Love this so much! I love to put things together and this really is a great little set. Love the telescoping magnet for ease of picking up screws. Do yourself a favor and get the extendable bendy small flashlight to go with it!

Very nice ratcheting screwdriver set. I bought two for emergency repairs and keep them in the cars.

il cricchetto al tatto non è confortevole, la plastica è dura sicuramente economica. Un attrezzo non professionale, sono stato ingannato dalle recensioni troppo positive ma grazie ad Amazon si può tornare indietro.

As chaves vieram exatamente como anunciado. Sao 26 peças, cabo porta bits (que pode ser alongado) tem reversão o que permite apertar ou folgar os parafusos. Diversos bits para encaixar em parafusos com fenda, PH, torx, quadrado e sextavado Caindo algum parafuso em lugar de acesso difícil, tem a solução uma peça telescópica com ponta magnética que pega o parafuso. E tem um estojo, com zíper, onde todas as peças ficam guardadas o que é muito prático para o usuário. Valeu a pena a compra.

I have had a 110+ Craftsman tool set for many years and love it but we’re missing almost all of the screwdriver bits. This has made up for those missing items and as always a great quality product. I’m not sure why some people are moaning about it not fitting in the case. They realise the length is adjustable right??

Overall good quality driver, vast assortment of heads. Used it now for a couple of months seems to be quite robust. Nice add on to have the telescopic magnet.
