It`s a while since I bought my Get-A-Way driver and I love it!! I am a DIY guy so I have it in my pocket all the time, would feel "naked" without it! The bit`s are made of good quality. Have used it to fix all from toy`s for my sons to our washing-machine.

Decent design, but cheaply made

I got all excited and ordered one of these as soon as I saw it, because I'd been looking for something to replace a similar (but flimsy) tool I carried religiously. This one is of a better quality, but still has some weak points. The tiny ball-bearings that hold the driver socket in place on mine have both fallen out more than once, and one is now lost. This means that I have to just mash the socket in as hard as I can and hope it doesn't fall out. I would have preferred a magnet to hold the bits in place. It would also have allowed me to substitute Torx bits for the included screwdriver bits, and to easily replace damaged or lost bits. As it is, I don't know if you can get replacements bits for the thing. Also, the flashlight shines out the end _opposite_ the driver socket, so if it's dark, you can either _see_ or _work_ but not both at the same time. Beef it up a little and use a magnetic chuck instead of the teeny-tiny ball-bearings and you'll have something really good.
