When you’re building out your workbench, it’s tempting to focus on big-ticket items and power tools, but it's smarter to first invest in great basics like a versatile multitool or a do-anything screwdriver—especially the ratcheting variety. Now’s a great time to pick one up, too, because Amazon just slashed the price of the bestselling Craftsman SpeedDrive Ratcheting Screwdriver for a limited time.

The handle is also designed with a textured pattern, so you’ll get a firm, comfortable grip when working.
