Z driver screwdriver - has anyone seen these?
I really like the look for the tool in the picture below. I want to make up a small bicycle tool kit when on tour and it looks perfect. I like the 2 orientations on the tool for placing bits, a design I have not seen on other such tools. Does anyone know where I could get something like this. I could order from America, but the postage is a stupid price.

You can get similar in the UK: search for "L" screwdriver or "Offset" screwdriver
One day it will all be firewood.

Not quite the same but I have one with a side facing drive, Amazon code B07J4QZT35 is very similar & comes in a wallet/pouch.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the below, but it does not look as nice / compact as the craftsman one:

I have a 1/4 bit ratchet that works in the same way, it's just a lot stronger than the L drivers

if you go with the ratchet you can use nut driver bits too

I have seen that before, but you can't put the bit in the end and use it like a normal screwdriverBob225 wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 12:27 pm I have a 1/4 bit ratchet that works in the same way, it's just a lot stronger than the L drivers

It's not too pricey, but has no advantage over what I already have. I already have loads of ratchets etc. I like the craftsman as it looks ultra compact for when on the road.dewaltdisney wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 12:52 pm Is this too pricey <span class="skimlinks-unlinked">https://komltd.cc/collections/granite-d ... roll</span> ?

I reckon you just have to accept that there's some stuff we can't get in this country. Not economically anyway.
Those carriage prices are taking the proverbial I reckon.
I always feel slightly envious when you see one of those big American hardware shops, and the large range of tools, materials, and equipment they carry.

I feel the same as well, they have some great tools in America! Everything you can think of they have it. I don't know why they charge so much postage from America - it never used to be so crazy expensive years ago. I have bought things economically from Japan, China and even Australia, but America just seems crazy prices for carriage.
I was kind of hoping there may have have been a Chinese knock off.

If you're fixing a bike you wont need most of the tips in the original picture - e.g. almost nothing requires a flat blade screwdriver and Philips is pretty rare - and certainly need some others like more hex/Allen keys.
A simple multi-tool from Park Tool (or Topeak) would be a much better bet for the money and the functions - and gve you the 90 degree orientation for leverage.
