Yep, that’s what you usually get with a versatile tool - one that doesn’t do ANY of its functions as well as the tool that it “replaces”.

It’s a balance. There are times when versatility is “the cat’s pajamas”. For example, the Swiss knife.

However, though the Swiss knife often has a Philips screwdriver on it, if you are going to be putting in a lot of screws, a full sized screwdriver, or even an electric screwdriver, is much better.

But if you want a multi-tool, to do a little bit of a lot of things, it’s hard to beat a Swiss knife.

So, the right tool for the right job.
