This Tiny Screwdriver Is Way More Useful Than It Looks

The James Brand Warrick is the rare pocket tool that does not need a long speech to justify itself. It is a tiny screwdriver for the little jobs that actually come up.

Tighten a camera plate, adjust a mount, open a battery cover, fix one loose screw, done. That is the whole pitch, and it is a good one.

At 3.6 inches long and 1.9 ounces, the Warrick is small enough to live in a pocket or travel pouch without becoming one more annoying thing to carry. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of compact tools that sound useful but are still bulky enough to get left behind.

It also looks good. The anodized aluminum body is simple, clean, and much less corny than the usual EDC-tool aesthetic. The included 4 WIHA bits are enough to make it useful right away without turning it into a whole mini toolkit.

The downside is obvious. At $85, this is expensive for a small screwdriver. If all you care about is the cheapest possible way to turn a screw, this is not it.

But if you like compact tools that are easy to carry and actually pleasant to use, the Warrick makes a lot more sense than it first appears.

Bottom line: The James Brand Warrick is tiny, useful, and much easier to justify than most pocket tools. It is expensive, but the size is what makes the whole thing work.
