Question 1

Are there differences between the automotive version 211r1c36rd and the "regular" version 211r2c36rd other than the bit heads included?

Accepted Answer

1/ This one has magnetic bits, because they are not 2-inch reversible they are just 1-inch. These are standard bits, so you can buy replacements and other choices. You can also store these aftermarket 1-inch standard size bits in the back of the screwdriver.
2/ This one also includes 1 less phillips head, it does not include the smallest size. In lieu of that it includes a torx T-27.

Question 2

So someone help me here... what's the difference between this and the channlock 131cb? they both look like they came from the same exact factory line.

Accepted Answer

The Megapro mentioned has 12 quarter inch bits of various heads and sizes that are held in place with a magnet.  The Channellock has 6 dual sided bits the are held in place using a ball detent.  I like the 12 bit magnetic system better because you can use the bits in most single sided 1/4 inch drivers like a screw guide or another 1/4 inch drive screwdriver.  The dual sided bits are harder to find and won't fit in most screw guides and other 1/4 inch drivers.  Also, I like being able to customize the driver for my application and the Megapro allows me 12 individual choices for whatever purpose I choose.  To my knowledge, Megapro makes the Channellock drivers.  The ratcheting drivers are made in Canada and the regular drivers are made here in the USA.  Unfortunately, all bits are made in Taiwan.  I love mine and it is the first driver I reach for.

Question 3

can someone tell me the exact length of this tool - without bits inserted?   Thanks!

Accepted Answer

The shaft is ~90mm or ~3 35/64 in.
With the handle the total tool is about 236mm or ~9 5/16 in.
