Short answer: yeah—bit drivers are replacing screwdrivers for me in a lot of situations. Smaller, more versatile, and easier to carry in go-kits. But not perfect—there are still times where a traditional screwdriver wins. Curious where you land on this: Are you using bit drivers more… or still reaching for full screwdrivers?
