Don't get me wrong, I own regular, old fashioned screw drivers. But I've also done everything from replacing laptop HDDs to car window regulators to wiring our kitchen with ratcheting/1/4"hex drivers. My snap on ratcheting unit is very compact down the shaft, and has been phenomenal. I have a wiha one that uses bits smaller than 1/4" hex for more fine stuff, like working inside computers.
I get it that there is a time and place for standard stuff, but for things like torx, hex, and some other drivers, it's so much cheaper and easier to go with bits.
I'll still hold on to my old craftsman set, maybe even look into re sharpening a few. But practically speaking, ratcheting drivers are all I use any more...
