Review on πŸ”§ Wera Kraftform 816 RA Bitholding Ratcheting Screwdriver - 1/4" Head: Efficient and Versatile Tool by Adam Bates

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There is more to play in this driver than in the playground

Rapidaptor is good. The shaft has a slight wobble that goes into the shift mechanism. So using an extension will also increase the wobble. Some people may want this kink to reach mounts that are more angled. As you turn the screw, the shaft will backlash as it turns, as if there is more play between the gear teeth than is necessary. The shift mechanism is a bit flimsy, I've noticed when I apply torque to the shaft when it's in the locked position and try to shift it to the left side, it won't shift into gear, I can't even To get it I have to first move it to the right and then back to the left to fully put the mechanism in place. I think excessive play between the teeth could be to blame. The knob feels really good and the whole driver looks nice but for the price I think the tighter tolerances on the shaft and gear teeth should be considered.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
