Close, but Not Quite
I'm a revolver guy mostly. The screwdriver is fine. The bit selection is a bit of a mystery. I expected a 210-3 for a sight adjustment tool. Nope, not included. The 210-2 can be used, but it is more for the cylinder release thumb switch. The 150-3 fits the side plate screws, but nothing for the yoke screw. Maybe the other 2 bits are used in semi-autos, but that's not my area. I mainly wanted something compact I could keep in my range bag for sight adjustment or a quick fix. I have a 210-3 that will fit in the handle. I'll have to locate something for the yoke screw and put the other 2 bits that came with the set in my Wheeler box. They'll find a use someday, no doubt.
Not exactly
Overall it seems like a decent quality all around screw driver but I needed it to work with my j frame plate screws. Here's the problem. The one bit that fits the width of the slot on the screw head does not go all the way down in the slot so it can slip and make a burr. The one that does go all the way down in the slot is short on the width witch of course can make it slip and add a burr. If your real careful you might be able to use it with no slip outs but shouldn't have to be like that. Disappointed that it really doesn't work for it's intended purpose very good but it still is a decent screw driver. This gun is a work horse so I could fix up the screws good enough with a little file/stone and a black sharpie. Not a show piece but would be nice if when I open up my gun to replace springs or what ever I could do it and the screw heads would stay the same.
