Review: A great tool for both those who know what they're doing and for those who know what they should be doing, but don't want to. - I have always been a firm believer that it's best to do things in the most impractical way possible. If something COULD theoretically be pulled away from the wall by no means does that mean it SHOULD. By the time you factor in all the stuff that would doubtless fall off and then land down the back and all the cables that would get wrenched out and someone would complain about what I did to the floor... No, it makes more sense to jam a screwdriver round the back, scrabble about blindly leaving black rubber streaks all over the wall, stripping the head of the screw and eventually slipping and punching the wall so hard you either leave a dent or a bloodstain... If that sounds familiar... Someone made a screwdriver for us... Well, technically it's not really for us... technically it's for people who have no other choice whilst working on engines or in places you genuinely can't move things but it works AMAZINGLY for people too lazy to actually move things too. It even works for those people who compromise by tilting furniture forwards a bit. It really is a unique item and one that is incredibly well made... which just about justifies the price that is not all that much less that I paid for a set of Wera screwdrivers not that long ago. The ratchet, elegantly reversible by just swapping the bit from one side to the other, and the fact that you can put a lot of strength through something so small also help justify it. You may well still clench your teeth a little bit but the first time it helps you do a job you couldn't have done with any other tool or without having to exert a great deal more effort you'll feel it was worth it. I've given a couple as gifts now and they've gone down well despite my initial fears that people might just think I gave them some tat and chuck it in the back of a drawer. Even beyond its usefulness for both legitimately reaching inaccessible spaces and being lazy it also can serve as an easy pocket screwdriver if you're the kind of person who either feels confident they'll mainly encounter phillips bits or quite sensibly doesn't mind a few regular hexbits sloshing around in the pocket. The closest I can get to nitpicking is sometimes a bit of kitchen roll or similar is needed to grip the bit to pull it out but that's not surprising as I keep one of my hands in a glove full of moisturiser at all times when working to keep it soft for brushing my wife's cheek and the other in a glove full of moisturiser at all times to keep it soft for brushing my cat's cheek. Other than that the ratchet could be a little more sensitive but I guess I will trade sensitivity for it not breaking which I guess could be a risk with something this size. Nitpicking aside, I do love this screwdriver, it's as if someone looked at me, took pity on me, and found a way to stop me taking responsibility for my actions for a few more years.
Review: High (Very high) quality stubby ratchet screwdriver. - I often use stubby screw drivers in my work servicing ice cream machines and when needed they are essential. After leaving one at a job I needed a replacement (urgently) I came across this advertised on desertcart. This is much more versatile than just a standard stubby screwdriver as I can use my vast range of screwdriver bits and it has a light but very positive ratchet action. It seems to be a very well engineered tool, the height is much lower than other ratchet screwdrivers and it's very grippy in use, the anodising is very attractive (what engineer doesn't like nice looking tools?) I am very pleased with my purchase which arrived very quickly and will definitely buy again if I leave it on site somewhere. The fact that it came with a Philips No2 bit was a nice bonus. Edit. After nine months of use the only signs of it having had a lot of heavy use is very slight wear on the edges of the anodising and the arrows indicating the ratcheting action has disappeared. The ratchet mechanism has never once given way, slipped or in any way malfunctioned, being as positive, yet light in action as when first used. I expect it to be going as strong when I retire in six / seven years (why wasn't this available twenty years ago?) I now carry it I'm my pocket rather than my tool bag due to the fact that it is usually the first tool I reach for. It's so much easier than using a standard ratchet especially if I am reaching behind a unit where a ratchet or stubby screwdriver would be unstable in use. I have now ordered a second to keep in a small tool roll on my motorcycle where space and weight are at a premium and as a result only the most useful, premium tools are carried - if it doesn't perform, it doesn't get a free ride! With a conversion bit to 1/4" drive I am able to use it for sockets up to 13mm and with long reach as well as standard bits it can secure or loosen any fastener, although sometimes I may have to use a standard ratchet to break the initial bond.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but ratchet could be finer.
*by B***E on 31 December 2023*

Useful, but if the ratchet was finer would be more usable in tight places.
