Great product Read more

This is a versatile tool with some clever features I haven't seen in more expensive models. Would be five star except that the the tips have a tendency to stay stuck in the screws because the latching mechanism doesn't hold them quite tightly enough. Read more

Over the past few years, I've taken up woodworking, and managed to spit out some house-hold basics — a few credenzas, a dozen wall-mounted cabinets, the sex-swing my girlfriend demanded. Because I’m a passionate, albeit admittedly mediocre craftsman, I overuse brackets, due to a fear of all things joinery-related (spiders and joinery, those are my only significant quirks, I promise). As a result, I’ve used hundreds of screws (particularly on the sex-swing), and a ratchet screwdriver clearly should have been my first purchase. At the very least, I should have picked one up before procuring an iron ball and spiked chain; but, in my defense, the GF can be rather relentless when she wants something. I digress. I ordered this magnificent invention on Thursday (the screwdriver, not my girlfriend) and it arrived in a day, because Amazon is my savior. In fact, as soon as I manage to knock up my girlfriend and grift her into marriage (likely in that order), my plan is to convince her to let us name our first born “Amazon”. Again, I digress. Forgive thee. Back to the screwdriver. Yesterday, my precious arrived and was immediately placed into servitude (again, I’m referring to the screwdriver). Here’s my thoughts, and I swear everything is the truth. PROS The build quality is terrific. It’s solid in my hand, with a great grip and the perfect weight. If you look up “ergonomic” in the dictionary, there’s now a picture of yours truly, holding this revelation, and wearing nothing else but a knowing smile. Furthermore, having the bits stored right in the soul of said handle presents a humbling level of ingenuity. How, I ask, can something seal so tight, yet open with nothing more than a wish? Am I worthy? Both questions are rhetorical, so let’s move on. The wand, er, extender, not only worked miracles, but also helped me lead our team to victory, as we soared triumphantly in our afternoon quidditch league. I was the toast of The Three Broomsticks and crowned Diagon Alley’s “Greatest Sorcerer of All Time of the Weekend”. And without anyone knowing the true source of my greatness. Obviously, I’m talking about that which shall not be named, but will… The ratchet. A mechanism of mysterious — nay, mythical — might. Imbued with a smoothness spell, it renders any task (involving screws) effortless, instantly easing the otherwise insufferable strain on my delicate tentacle. Is “Magic” too strong a word? I think not, dear friend. I think not. Alas, here I sit, in awe, holding this pinnacle of engineering and beauty (did I mention how attractive this piece of metal and plastic is?)… and wondering… if not a genuine wand, surely this must be the Topkapi dagger; or, the Lance of Longinus; or, a tool. And all for a measly ten quid? Bottom line, apologies Amazon, we’re naming our firstborn ValueMax. CONS Because I didn’t buy this divine device sooner, I’m forced to now question all my life choices. CONCLUSION Solid product. Recommend. Read more

4.5 stars. I own a few ratcheting screw drivers, including a Snap On one, which is awesome, but also way more expensive. Expectations should be in line with value, and for $10 (what I paid on sale) you really can't go wrong with this screwdriver. It has an extendable shaft, a bit holder in the back, and ratchets forward, reverse, or stationary depending on what you want. I'm not sure what other people are complaining about with the magnet. The one I received has a strong enough magnet to hold a bit and not fall out when I shake it. Perhaps they fixed the magnet problem or I just got lucky. The friction fit rubber end that holds the bits could be better. I did have to deburr the plastic around the rubber plug so that the plastic wouldn't cut into the rubber plug over time. I can see this as a potential failure point, but if that happens I'll glue mine in place and hold the bits elsewhere. The ratcheting mechanism works okay. It's certainly not as smooth as my SO version, but again, expectations have to be aligned with the price point folks. All in all, it's a great value for what you get and in line with all the other under $20 ratcheting screwdrivers. Read more
