SWITCH screwdriver a simple, credible idea
One of the best parts of writing about technology is the vaporware that seems to ooze from every pore of the Internet. The truth, however, is that many of these artists' impressions will only ever be just that — artists' impressions. So concepts that are simple and eminently workable, such as this SWITCH screwdriver, have more of a chance of being manufactured.
Designed by Jiangdang University students Liu Yunlong, Jia Peng, Cheng Peng, Wang Dongdong and Xin Yaoyao, the SWITCH has a shaft that can lock into place at 90 degrees to the handle, making it easier to tighten screws to their most secure. Okay, so it can't do all the things that some tools do, but you've got to give it some kudos — after all, pricewise, the SWITCH will cost you about one hundredth of one of these.

Evelyn forgot to call firsties....and she's a bot. cool design for the screwdriver, i used to use skateboard multitools that had this design idea, the T handle really does make for more torque and tighter screws.

wonder how she got passed captcha...
oh well, that is a cool idea. if it had an angled selection for screwing in tight angles, it would be better

Ah i've seen these before. My friend had one that worked just like this (granted it looked a bit different.) Also his had one of those ends where you can change the bits from flat head to phillips or to the smaller versions of either of the two. Very useful, not quite new, but i haven't been able to find one so i assumed the were discontinued. Although this won't really help in the place where you need shorter screwdrivers, but i suppose that is unavoidable.

That's actually based off of a tried and true design that, unfortunately, isn't too popular.
