Well... you guess it guys and girls. Particularly those of you who have been reading my neglected build thread.
It's time for another...
Picked up one of these for a job, but it has found duty in the landy tool bag for any maintenance and other duties.
Pretty nifty and compact- about the size of a standard screwdriver with less of a shank length on it.
Quality little bits which are stored in an pop-out holster within the handle- Philips 1-3 and a assortment of different size flats. I'd like to replace one with a suitable size Torx for the puma, IMO having 4 different size flats is wasted on me.
It also has a nifty locking feature on the business end that prevents the bits coming out when used in position.
Comfortable to use, thicc enough to get a good grip/rotation when needed, and the holster part also fits in the palm to allow a twist and push action, if that's your thing.
I reach for this before I grab for any of the stanley or crescent screwdrivers. Even the stubby ratchet screwdriver I have takes a back-seat to this one.

If the linked ones are correct that is or even the same, not sure if there are different versions of it.

+1 for vessel, in a former life fixing office equipment and photocopiers it was the only make that would last a reasonable amount of time without wrecking the screws, which were mostly made in Japan and usually JIS but didn't always have the dot.
An interesting article on the difference between Phillips, Pozidrive and JIS cross head screws.

With our Toyota Sedan back in aprx. 1980 they supplied a Double ended Screwdriver (Slotted & Philips) that fitted the handle whichever end was inserted into the handle. A good idea & have still got it although I never expected it to last this long.
I tell you what is a good thing with drivers is that if you can get one with a centre shaft that is made from a tightly wound spring is great for non aligned screws & stuff in an awkward location & if you can fit 5/6 mm shaft Hex Head sockets it becomes a wonderful tool for inaccessible screws. ie. Radiator hose clamps etc.
and then on the L322s they went and used torx just to make you go and buy a different format.
I never saw those Mario but I suppose i would have gone out & bought a set.
Bad enough doing an early service on the D1 as it was. The R380 gearbox overflow/filler plug was a Torx. Can't recall what size, but I still have it.
The one & only Torx on the vehicle.
