Review on Versatile and Durable Ratcheting Screwdriver with Adjustable Angle and Non-Slip Rubber Grip - Mars-Tool: Your Solution for Heavy-Duty Screw Driving by George Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Twist and Shout Good for Hand Tool

I am very glad to have this Angled Ratchet Screwdriver in my quest. The ratchet screwdriver is my most used hand tool in the house. They seem quirky rather than not, and when my one-year-old started failing, I settled on a well-known brand. It was awful: it's impossible to remove bits unless they're placed in a very long extension; Bit anchors in the storage area that let the bits fall out, a bit storage handle cap that almost rips nails when you try to pry them off. Ridiculous. And then this. Turns out I had to use it within minutes of receiving it, and the ratcheting angle saved me from a drill and gooseneck. This tool's magnetic bit holder makes it easy to remove bits while leaving the bits intact. The bit tray holds bits without losing them and the 3 inch deep bit storage area in the handle is available if I decide to buy longer bits. The nicely threaded pen cap doesn't hang loose *if you tighten it*, but unscrews easily. And nine 10 degree offset angles in each direction... I've put this to good use already and plan to use it again when restoring walls after painting. The tool has weight, so be prepared for that. Ratchet should be smaller. Its knurled handle can snag in tight spots (precisely the spots where you use your head at an angle...) and rotate into a different position. Very annoying. - It's too short for me. The shaft should be an additional 1-2 inches long.
