Some of the multi-tools have a 1/4" drive in the handle, or a "tool-kit" accessory pack you can get seperately. Are these any good? Is it worth getting this feature ?

On a related note, the Sears Craftsman multi-tool has the drive in the handle, does anyone know who makes this tool for Sears ?
 
OWOWOWOWOW Mr. Kotter I know!

Schrade makes the Craftsman Pro multi-tool, Kershaw the regular multi-tool, and Bear makes the little one! Do I get a prize!

Sorry I 'm being a smart-ass.

The bit -adaptors are good if you need bits not included on the tool, or if you wear out your bits often. I like the Gerber and Leatherman tool bit adaptors, but the new Kershaw one seems a bit forced. I haven't tried it ,I could be wrong.

But most of the time I don't carry them with the multi-tool because of the extra bulk. The Spyderwrench and Wenger Mini swissgrip each have bits(4&6)built in! Be Careful Out There!

OOOPS! Sorry about the cluttering!

One more comment! The SOG Powerlock with the 1/4 inch drive socket adaptor is great because you can use sockets and turn it into a nutdriver or get a 1/4 to hex bit adaptor and turn it into a hex bit driver! Shuttin' up now!

I used the Leatherman Adapter for quite a while, and it really came in handy for a variety of stuff. Torx, Square, Small Phillips or Tiny Standard, I just kept the adapter on my keychain and the bits in my pocket.

I recently switched (pun intended) to the SOG Switchplier. It has a 1/4" adapter for sockets, but you have to order the hex adapter separately. I just put the order in the mail a week ago, and will do the same with that one.

Depends on your needs I guess.
