Review on Enhanced Performance with πŸ”§ STANLEY Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver (69-189) by Scott King

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I would recommend using it with an extender for a longer, narrower tip.

Pros: It's convenient to have many bits in one driver, which saves space in the box, the ability to use alternative and/or longer bits for other work (and there are several additional open Slots in the base to store those bits) Cons: - bulky, short and not very long - ratchet puller feels pretty light which doesn't help to feel secure during use. It feels like your movements are too wild and uncontrollable - the knob for changing the lock/screw/unlock setting is pretty cheap and feels a bit flimsy. It's easy to hit it and not know what setting you've dialed in - no magnetic spikes. Basically, I think it's a handy tool and it's nice to have a ratchet function when I don't have room or leverage for a two-handed weapon. Operation. However, I often found myself leaving it locked and forgoing the ratchet function altogether because it just isn't smoother or faster than 2 hands. This gadget is good for basic home jobs, but don't think it will replace all your screwdrivers. I would also recommend using it with an extender for a longer, narrower tip.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
