# Massively Multi-Bit Screwdrivers The Wiha Ultra Driver Contains 26 Different Bit Attachments By Joey Haar | Published 2017-07-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiha-ultra-driver References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/posts/67378/Red-Dot-Award-Winning-Tools-Wiha-Ultra-Driver-26-in-1) & [wihatools](https://www.wihatools.com/ultra-driver-26inone-tradesman-phillips-slotted-pozidriv-square-hex-inch-hex-metric-torx) Construction materials aren't standardized, which forces handy people to keep dozens of different tools for conducting essentially the same tasks, but the Wiha Ultra Driver reduces the amount of hardware that one needs in their toolbox. That's because the driver, which is the recipient of a 2017 Red Dot Award for design, is a 26-in-1 screwdriver — in other words, there are 26 [different drill bits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-multifunctional-magnetic-screwdriver) stored within its comfortable handle. Anyone who's used a [multi-bit driver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixboy) before won't be particularly impressed by the Wiha Ultra Driver's description; there are hundreds of tools on the market that [store multiple bits in the handle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fusion-driver). What separates the tool is its ease of use. The bits emerge from the handle with the press of a button rather than by unscrewing the top, and pulling the handle out causes the bits to expand outward, making them easier to grab and exchange while working. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multi-bit Tools:** The trend of multi-bit tools allows for compact and versatile solutions for various tasks. - **Streamlined Design:** The trend of streamlined design in tools enhances usability and convenience for users. - **Simplified Bit Exchange:** The trend of simplified bit exchange in tools improves efficiency and convenience during work. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction Tools:** The construction tools industry can leverage multi-bit tools to offer more compact and efficient solutions to users. - **Hardware Retail:** The hardware retail industry can benefit from stocking and promoting streamlined design tools that enhance customer convenience. - **Tool Manufacturing:** The tool manufacturing industry has an opportunity to innovate and produce tools with simplified bit exchange mechanisms for improved user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-in-One Screwdriver Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screwdriverking.md) - [Compartmentalized Ratchet Screwdrivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glede-screwdriver.md) - [Compact Titanium Magnetic Screwdrivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-screwdriver.md) - [Cordless Screwdriver Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kingsdun-mini-electric-screwdriver.md) - [Ultra-Compact Screwdriver Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hbt-471.md) - [Sleek Cordless Screwdrivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoto-cordless-screwdriver.md) - [Compact Electric Screwdriver Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-screwdriver-sets.md) - [Titanium Pocket Screwdriver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xs-screwdriver.md) - [Metallic EDC Screwdriver Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m19-magnetic-bullet-driver.md)
