🔧 Ideal Electrical 35-988 Ratch-A-Nut Screwdriver - Versatile 9-In-1 Ratcheting Nut Driver with Screwdriver, Driver Bit Sets Review

I've been trying to decide between this and the Klein 11-in-1 that everyone seems to have. What finally led me to the ideal is the function of the ratchet. The ratchet works well and the bits are held securely, no problem with accidental falling out. I chose it over the perfect 21-in-1 because I really don't need that many bits and I have no regrets. If I had to argue, my only complaint would be that there is no reference mark to visually determine if the ratchet is clockwise, counterclockwise,

As an electrician I had a ratchetless version of this and it was the best tool in my belt! There are several improvements that can be made to make it the best all-around tool for electricians. a separate accessory which is a 1/4 magnetic bit holder (maybe they already have that?) I really like the versatility of this product and it's a great quality product! Keep it up!

I've tried several other ratchet screwdrivers and they had some play or poor grip on the handle. This withstands even the strongest torque and the grip is perfect. Smooth enough that you can turn a screw and then turn it in your hand without using your other hand (when not in ratcheting mode) and strong enough to provide a good but not harsh grip when needed. The ratchet feature speeds things up a bit, which is nice considering I'm using it all day. I was pleased enough to purchase two more so…

I bought this for a wire nut holder - so it's a fantastic and great tool when you have a lot of wire to run. The screw/nut aspect is fine, but I've slipped the ratchet through a few times, so I usually just leave it in the unratcheted lockout mode, and in that sense it's a reasonable multi-purpose screwdriver. What surprised me the most was the wire loop on the handle - so simple, yet so useful. The end result - loved it so much I gave 3 of these away for Christmas and when I spend a day making

I'm an electrician and this seems to be the #1 screwdriver in my job. The discounted price here is the best I've found and with free shipping. This is the best deal for less than the regular $24. I must have this and have a spare in my trunk (trunk) in case I lose it or it gets stolen. Both have happened in the last 3 weeks and I felt really lost without it. Replacement bits are expensive and last time I checked I couldn't find any bits for the big end and small end. Just the big ending. I…

I installed 2 ceiling fans and 4 outlets and 3 switches using this screwdriver and some electrician's pliers (I like Southwire pliers really, but if Ideal makes a pair I'd check them out). great stuff This is not a universal ratchet wrench, only for electrical work. The limited number of bits is actually a plus as it is limited to just what you need to connect. And the wrench on the back is a wonderful tool - I would buy it just for that. But "screwdrivers" are just right for ground screws, and

I originally bought a small tool like this but it was too heavy and the handle wasn't long enough for me. The actual ratchet section that holds the stock came off the grip on the first drop from three feet. It wasn't even glued, it was just fixed there. So I read Ideal's reviews and gave it a try. On the first day of use, it either skipped a turn or locked instead of a ratchet. So I kept putting it back on the disc, but after a while it got so annoying I just used my regular screwdriver. I…

Great concept. Not many small parts like 21 n 1 etc. You need something that is quick, versatile and easy to find in the ceiling etc with few small parts that are easy to lose and render the tool useless. it agrees with all these accounts. Still, the ratchet function slips sometimes, but I'm not entirely sure. I haven't used it much but thought I'd noticed a couple of times and I haven't given any other reviews that said the same thing. must look to the future. a wire nut wrench, an ingenious…
