JHWWRS-1 Magnetic Multi-bit Ratcheting Screwdriver, 9-Inch

Good quality ratcheting screwdriver made better with a few additions and tweaks. I have a few ratcheting screwdrivers. My goto is a Klein 13-1 because I really like handle ergos and rubber grip. I have a megapro but rarely use it because its a little bulkier/longer and how the handle tapers wasnt really doing it for me in terms of ergos. Things i like about the williams: love the ergos, fits in my hand nicely. Like the smooth ratcheting mechanism. LOVE that it's the same snap-on tool that's probably made in the same factory, but for half the cost. Love that its easily serviceable by just taking off the lock spring. Things i didnt care for: my model came with a large gap between the collar and the handle. some pics i've seen have it sit flush. some i've seen have a big gap. It's the same with the snap-on models too, so it's not just williams. No big deal tho, still functional. the bit storage is also lacking. there was a bit of back and forth play in the shaft as well. things i did to make it better for me: took the ratcheting mechanism apart, added some more oil and grease so it's REAL smooth and light to rotate (Really love that i can service these). While i had it apart, i 3D printed a black ring to fill the unsightly gap - i know i know - its just a tool and still functional, but my OCD kicked in and figured to just fill it for my personal aesthetics. While i had the mechanism apart, i readjusted the shaft lock washer so there's minimal back and forward play in the shaft. It's pretty tight and rock solid now. Lastly, i 3D printed a bit holder from a remix of John Zanussi's Williams bit holder found on the internetz. These tweaks IMO really complete the screwdriver! I really like it now and find myself fidgeting with it, just randomly taking stuff apart around the house LOL. All in all, great quality screwdriver with a few mods in mind!

Like most, I got caught in the ratcheting driver hype, especially after the LTT videos. Although I have been wanting one for a few years. The LTT one was just too much for a relatively simple tool. This is a very well machined driver at a good price. Extremely smooth ratcheting action with little, yet predictable back-drag. Strong magnet, but not too strong that getting the bit in the fastener head is difficult. Just strong enough to hold any fastener. I have a Felo driver that has way too strong of a magnet, it pulls the driver towards the edge of the fastener and you have to fight with it every time. The hex shank is ground down nice and thin so it can fit in more recessed holes. Some drivers are pretty chunky. The threads on the storage cap are well designed, it threads on easily and has a gasket to keep out moisture and keep bits from rusting. Ergonomics of the handle are good, fits pretty nicely IMO. I don't hate the loose bit storage, it's pretty easy to just dump out, pick what you need, and funnel em back in. They do rattle when ratcheting horizontally, some might find that annoying. My only cons are that the direction selector is a bit stiff and there were some molding lines that needed to be scraped off with my fingernail, but those are very minor issues. Certainly the best multi-driver I've had to date, well worth the $34. Sorry LTT, would have liked to buy yours.

This Williams ratcheting screwdriver is just what I have been looking for to use all the time. I have a gearwrench ratcheting screwdriver but it's to big and longer than this too. This length is much better to use on a daily basis. The ratchet mechanism is right on this too right for right left for left...where the gearwrench is backwards. Also this has threads on the end cap unlike the gw has just two small tabs that always fall out and dump the bits. Smooth feel and quality build are important features that make this the best choice. For those that don't like the sound of rattling bits in the handle...I put a small piece of crushed paper in there then screwed the cap on. No more rattle. And the bits don't fall out when you unscrew the cap. Easy fix.

Well, I’ll echo most reviews. It’s a Snap On (literally, Snap On owns Williams and makes these drivers there) for a third of the price. The handle is different from the SO variant, but it’s just as comfortable. The shaft is fixed and doesn’t have knurling, but still has that smooth and incredibly low back drag you expect. Fit and finish is no PB Swiss, but it’s very much a sturdy tool. I like the all plastic handle (rubber dissolves over time) and I like that the magnet is strong. My only gripe is the bit storage. Come on Williams/ Snap On, put a carousel in there! There are 3d printed ones that are just dandy, there’s no excuse now. Bits loosely shaking around in the handle makes me want to remove a star, but the rest of the driver is fabulous and it does its job very well.

I use this thing almost daily at work. And it came with a nice little surprise. As some of you may or may not know Williams is who makes Snap On screw drivers and bits. And when I opened this up to put a bit in it guess what the bits it came with are Snap On branded. And the tool itself is Snap On quality.

The Williams ratcheting screwdriver was purchased for the tool kit on our sailboat, and though an excellent screwdriver for the many reasons, there are a couple things that make its sibling, Snap-on, better. First, the knurled portion of the shaft is missing on the Williams. Easy to dismiss, but used frequently on the Snap-on because it speeds up spinning in longer screws with only your thumb and index finger easily when there’s not enough friction to engage the ratchet. Also, the ratcheting directional collar is considerably more stiff and the back drag is higher than on the Snap-on, but it’s possible the Williams just requires break-in. Finally, the squared off handle on the Snap-on is more resistant to rolling while the Williams’ more cylindrical shape offers little resistance at all, annoying on any firm inclined surface, but problematic on a boat where it can easily roll overboard.

Williams is who makes Snap On screwdrivers. Fantastic fraction of cost.

This was a direct replacement item that I had for years. I still can't believe that you carry it. This is the best screwdriver I have ever owned.

Para mí taller es una gran herramienta

Great value, high quality product. Very happy with the price and the product.

Uma catraca de qualidade impressionante, digna da Snap-On, fabricada nos Estados Unidos. Bastante robusta, cabo com um plástico super resistente, um back drag baixíssimo, haste de aço inoxidável e acompanha um bit PH2 da Snap-On. Essa me surpreendeu, gostei mais dessa do que a 416 RA da Wera. E por um preço super acessível quando comparada aos produtos da Snap-On. A Amazon Brasil poderia trazer os outros tamanhos de hastes e a chave catraca com porta-bits da Williams modelo JHWWRS-1.

I bought this screwdriver after looking at Project Farm review (including LTT's new screwdriver) wasn't disappointed and does what I need it to do. Feels really great. Williams and Snap On are from the same parent company and from what I heard, this is made in the same factory as Snap On just for the average consumer which is great for me.

Buen desarmador, bastante versátil la funcionalidad de trinquete. Para mí día a día es fantástico.
