Excellent quality
This is abosulutely perfect for working in tight spaces. At around 3.5 inches in length it's actually smaller than I was expecting.I bought this to replace a cheap Rolson bit ratchet that I use for work (medical devices) and the Wera is shorter and lower profile. Already owning several sets of Wera screwdrivers/ torx drivers/ nut spinners I thought I'd see what the quality of this bit driver was like.The first thing that I noticed was that despite is tiny size (it really is tiny) it's remarkably heavy and feels totally solid on the hand. The ratchet mechanism is smooth and the high tooth count means there's very little rotation required to engage the next tooth. Again, this is perfect when working with limited space.The included 1/4 hex to 1/4 sq drive adapter means that this can be used with 1/4 sockets as well as with hex bits. There is a little play in the adaptor when fitted and a very small amount of backlask in the mechanism which when combined are noticeable but it's still has a far more precise feel to it than the cheaper alternatives that I've tried.The only 2 downsides to this tool that I can see are: (and they're not really negative points)1) it's short length will limit the amount of torque that can be applied - although if you need more leverage on a fastener, then this isn't the right tool for the job and you probably need a 1/4 sq dr ratchet, not a bit driver.And2) its so small that you might, a) not realise you've left behind. b) struggle to use it if you have spade like hands.I almost wish that I'd bought this as part of a set with bits and sockets included. I've never had any issues with Wera kit and the build quality of this ratchet instils confidence that it will last and perform well.The only other alternative that I would consider over this is the sealey mini bit driver (can insert hex bits into the handle or the ratchet) that comes with a 72 tooth mechanism. Having tried both, the Wera definitely has the edge on build quality but the Sealey is cheaper so it's as always, it's bit of a trade off. I certainly wouldn't swap this Wera for the Sealey, even if it is cheaper...

Very small but quite useful
I’d have liked to see a bit of a bigger size ratchet for 1/4” bits but this works fine as well. It is very heavy for the size and is quite strong, only thing ive found annoying is, reverser moves too easily and sometimes you knock the ratchet on something hard and it moves

Everyone should have one of these in their tool box
One of the best tools I’ve ever bought. Feels really solid and a lovely smooth ratchet mechanism. It’s really small so ideal for those hard to reach fixings. The locking system is nice and secure and the manual ring is easy to operate one handed.

Nice quality tool
Nice little tool.It is little, maybe smaller than I expected but nevertheless it's very useful.You can remove the 1/4drive adaptor and insert a screwdriver bit to give you a limited access driver.Maybe a little overpriced.

Small yet powerful
Some of the best tools on the market. Great little addition to any MTB kit bag.

One of the smallest, yet still fully functional quality ratchets.
This ratchet has saved me so many times. I put two other "compact" ratcheting screwdrivers for comparison (see pic). Key, is when you use a Phillips #2 hex bit, the ratchet hardly adds any height, meaning you can get in the tightest spaces! It may seem expensive, but this is as high quality and strong as any full sized ratchet.

Works with Leatherman flat bits
I'd been looking for a tiny ratchet for some time for a small tool bag. I had purchased an inexpensive fingertip ratchet, but I wanted something with the leverage of a handle. I was quite pleased when this arrived. It is very small, but has excellent finish and seems solidly built. I've used it lightly on a few household tasks and like the precision offered with 60 teeth - minimizes the space required to swing the handle in tight places.It's small enough to fit in the proverbial Altoids tin with a set of 1/4 drive sockets and a few extra screwdriver bits.I was quite pleased to find that I can fit the flat proprietary bits used with the Leatherman Wave. You must align the edges of the bit with the retention spring in the ratchet, it's not too hard to see the side of the spring. It also works with the Leatherman bit extender. I found it fits very well in the elastic loop of the Leatherman Wave nylon belt sheath.A highly satisfactory and functional piece of tool jewelry.
