Pocket-Sized Maker Screwdrivers

The James Brand Cache River EDC Screwdriver is Durably Designed

— October 30, 2020 — Art & Design
The James Brand Cache River EDC screwdriver is a pocket-friendly tool for avid makers and DIYers who are looking for a simply way to perform small adjustments or stay ready for emergencies while out of the house.

The screwdriver has an interchangeable design that comes with three bits including a Philips #2, a Wiha slotted 4.5 and a Torx T6, which are all crafted from chrome-vanadium molybdenum tool steel. The handle itself is CNC-machined out of an aerospace-grade aluminum billet before being covered in a black anodization for enhanced durability.

The James Brand Cache River EDC screwdriver utilizes magnets to keep the bits in place during use, which will also make the switching process far easier for users to perform on the fly.
