How much function can you pack in a compact little carabiner tool? Launce Barber and Tom Stokes designed the patent-pending Get-A-Way^™ Driver as part of our innovative I.D. Works^™ line of tools, and it has dozens of everyday uses for the craftsman or hobbyist.

As a compact screwdriver, it has four standard flat and Phillips hex bits to tackle almost any job. Each of the hex bits has a spring-loaded ball detent to keep it in the holder, and a fingernail groove to aid bit removal.

You can also use it as an angle driver when the going gets tough by moving the bit adapter to the hex driver wrench.

Just push the button and it's a bright little LED flashlight, especially useful when working in low light.

It has an oxygen bottle wrench on the underside, which makes it useful for emergency rescue use. There are also 10 mm wrench and hex bit wrench reliefs.

The pry bar on the underside works well to open bottles and jar lids, among other things. It's also removable if you want.

The hex bit driver adapter lets you use all of the full-size hex bits with the CRKT Zilla-Tool Jr., too.

Patents pending.

This is a nice tool, but unfortunately I purchased the Guppie at same time and I find it more functional. The get-a-way driver has found a home in my desk at work. It will be used frequently.

I have the get-a-way driver, and the Torx both, they are a great addition to my work bench. I build and repair knives for a living and both drivers work great. They work with any 1/4" driver bit and the tool head is magnetic. They are a very useful tool and they don't take up a lot of space on my bench. John

the screwdriver is very handy for odd jobs. i just wish it could hold more bits. The led light is not that bright and takes constant pressure to keep it on. Even with the two magnetic balls on the bit holder it still seems loose and I am still worried that i have lost it only to find it in the bottom of my pocket. I have had no good luck with the bottle opener though.

All, We added another spring loaded ball to the bit holder so now it doesn't pop out unexpectedly. - CRKT

Good: Compact, goes-anywhere driver and LED light to backup my backup light. Less Good: Bit adaptor falls out and goes skittering across deck at work. LED flashlight not really useful for much more than backup to backup. (or finding the lock on your car or home, I guess)

I saw this item at REI and HAD to have one I work in Security for a large Strip Resort Hotel in Las Vegas and this was just the thing I could use on the job. Small and compact with even a light and an oxygen bottle wrench. I would give this a 5 star rating, except the bit holder on the end of the handle fell out and was lost....very disappointing I noticed it was lose right out of the package. It does have a small release mechanism, a spring loaded ball detent, that is too easy to pull out. This IS the problem that needs to be addressed Otherwise a great idea
