I use this screwdriver every day at work and love how the small handle fits in my tool bag. I can use the handle with regular bits when I need to get into tight spaces or use it with a long extension when I need reach. I mostly use it in the locked state because the ratchet has enough torque that it won't turn with loose bolts and quite a lot of twisting between the teeth. The only downside for me is that regular small bits are hard to remove without pliers, but I can often pull them out by hand and longer bits do the trick. And I almost forgot to mention that the cap covering the bit storage area spins freely like a precision screwdriver, which I really like.
