I have a couple of Fix It Sticks kits. If you do any work at all on your guns, they’re about the most convenient tools you can own. There’s always one in my range bag.
I’ve got their All-In-One Torque Driver Kit with an adjustable torque driver as well as a compact tactical kit with 65 in-lb and 25 in-lb torque limiters that they make for Leupold. It’s ideal for scope mounting.
Now Fix It Sticks is out with their new All Purpose Driver Kit with a range of sockets and bits in a package that’s easy to take with you anywhere you’re headed. Here’s their press release . . .
Fix It Sticks, the industry innovator of modular firearms maintenance tools and torque limiters has introduced an exciting new kit, the All Purpose Driver Kit.

Looks like a nice set-up!
Glad to see driver kits finally adding JIS bits. I got tired of messing up screw heads trying to use Phillips drivers on my Japanese built tools / vehicles and purchased a set several years ago. For about twice what I paid, for a basic set, you can get this much more complete option.
Why not have yet another screw head standard. We already have flat, Philips, Robertson, hex, torx, posidrive, tri-wing, clutch, and some in both metric and standard. All are the definitive answer to screw head cam out. I have more screwdrivers than I can keep track of.
The nice thing about industry standards is there as so many to chose from.
Kind of like calibers.
Since you and I don’t have any input on fastener development, our only choice is to try and keep our tool chest(s) current so that we can continue to work on whatever comes our way.
I still have an old set of Xcelite Bristol Multiple-Spline screwdrivers from when I used to repair handi-talkies and DoD devices that used special hi-torque set-screws. Haven’t used them in years…yet, you never know when that random Bendix / King talkie will need disassembly or knob replaced.
Nothing like quality tools. Looks like a nice handy kit.
Very expensive so I bought the wheeler which is +/- 2 in accuracy while I think fix it sticks has a much lower accuracy rating if I am correct
pricing on these is insane.
I use the $40 tool kit I bought to work on my kid’s go karts for all my guns. Never under-equipped.
