FRC OMG screwdriver! 1/8", 5/32", 3/16" allen, #2 Phillips, 1/4" socket, 5/16" socket, and 3/8" socket! Fits 10-32 button and SHCS, 10-32 nut, and 1/4" SHCS.
The bits are made from the stock bits that cone with the $2.99 screwdriver, using a carbide end mill and a spacing head.
The 3/8" socket is pressed into a bored hole and cross pinned with a nail.
As a toolmaker at heart, I love that you made a great FRC useful tool!
I was working on something similar a few years ago, but found I could buy all the parts I needed. Yeah, not as much fun as making it…
One difference I see is that my screwdriver handle can be made into a T handle for some additional leverage. Not sure if that model of Craftsman is still available, but I’m sure there are others.
The other difference is that you have a detent ball holding the bits in place. Mine is magnetic, which does have other advantages such as holding a bolt inside a tube or weird angle.
@Weldingrod1 what brand of indexing head are you using? Does it index at 15° increments?
Nice screwdriver there!
I have found a multi-nut driver, but its just not as useful… That one has sockets on both ends, and a sliding device through the middle that gives you two more sockets. The “pocket socket”.
That’s a Hardinge indexer. The stock increments are 24 positions. They also make a 20 position ring that you can swap in. There are screws that you can use to lock out the positions you don’t want to accidentally go to, but I’ve never made enough things to go further than “sharpie the ones I want to use” 
I got that particular because it matches my lathe spindle nose; I can swap chucks back and forth without losing the indexing. And it takes 5C, of course!
I’ve got other heads that can do arbitrary stuff… But this one gets used the most!
The GearWrench quadbox (and a bajillion clones) is another great FRC tool. The two reversible box ends cover 1/2", 7/16", 3/8", and 5/16". For additional insanity, I specially modified a couple of these with an insert made from a socket. An 11/32" socket cut down to 1/2" hex on the outside. The stock one is already very useful, of course!
You can actually get away with out the indexing head for this. The shank of the bits are already hexagonal, so you can just hold them in the vise and turn them one flat at a time and get decent results.
Very cool. For those who don’t want to invest this level of effort I’d recommend buying this instead and replacing the bits it comes with with whatever you like.

Wera definitely makes great stuff!
I was introduced to and started buying a lot of their tooling from Automation Direct when they offered their donations in the FIRST KOP.
I keep those in my car as they make great reliable, compact all you need types of sets.
Snap-On everything else.
I just bough a Linus Tech Tips screwdriver when they went on sale for $40 (from $80 normally iirc), immediately replaced my everyday Wera. I think the same model as Cory has linked.
Ratchet is phenomenal, stores more bits, can still get a lot of torque on it, doesn’t get crud trapped in the handle, and knurling is pretty nice too.
That said…proprietary bits if you want to fit all 12, and the normal price is way off.
I like to have a Wera bit-check plus sort of on hand (in the glovebox or such), which is imo the ultimate COTS FRC toolkit once you add in a normal-size screwdriver handle. Swapping sockets and bits to the exact ones you need is a must, especially if you have a lot of bolted joints requiring two sockets of the same size.
This is also a pretty useful one. Its a 6 in 1 screwdriver that come in metric and imperial.
I wonder if Hacksmith would offer a FRC version??? The top three allen keys, phillips #2, and flat head. The last slot is harder… could be Kraken power size.
Any other votes?
Thatd be awsome if we could get them too.
Itd be pretty useful if we could get the last slot as a thin wago. I feel like im always looking for those!
Oooh yeah! Terminating screwdriver!
Composing the email right now
Nice find! If you could pick a T8, you’d have a nice all-in-one for WCP Swerve + CTRE Kraken…
Only down side is they dont offer the correct size for a 1/4-20 or 8/32 bolt 
The only size that doesn’t seem to be available is a 9/64 allen which fits your 8-32 SHCS.
Allen/hex bits for the 1/4-20 flat, button, socket heads and 8-32 flat, button heads are available.
Yep your right, i didnt see the 3/16 allen at first. Now only if they could add that 9/64 allen…
Pretty much the only bolts my team uses is 1/4-20, 10-32, and 8-32 button and socket head
I’d like to know if the bits are end-user replaceable. If they’re not, this would be a deal breaker. The 1/8" allen gets worn quickly and I can grind it back only so many times…
And, if they are replaceble, then getting a 9/64 is easy peasy.
Just got the 6 in 1 Imperial screwdriver from Hacksmith in the other day. It doesn’t look like the bits are replaceable, but they do look like good quality bits. Would definitely recommend getting!
Just curious though, what brand allen keys are you using? I dont usally have problems with the allen key striping unless its a cheapo or im over tightening
My personal allen wrenches are Bondhus or Unbrako. They wear too…
The shop buys “whatever”, usually from McMaster.
Cheapo hex bolts will prematurely wear the allen wrenches too.
