An optimistic person writes a negative review.

I approached this tool full of hope. I even thought this might be a tool I would have on hand. It will be in my pocket every day when I work as a house painter. - in a bottleneck - an attempt to tighten or loosen the screw did not work. The ratchet mechanism kept slipping out of position. I had to keep clicking on this place. It would not stay in the desired position corresponding to the right or left free position. I would not have written this review if it had been possible to return thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • new
Cons
  • boring packaging

The overall quality of the tool is decent, but it has one major downside.

I bought this because I needed a Phillips head to work on something I couldn't find a regular or short screwdriver. The solution was a ratchet screwdriver. Unfortunately, this model does not have the option of locking the supplied screwdriver bits in the ratchet mount. That means if you turn the ratchet over to use, the bit will just fall out. - The correct solution would be to magnetize (or magnetize bits?) the receiver in a ratchet for screwdriver bits. Without it it's really frustratingโ€ฆ

  • Pretty impressive

Good build quality for the price

I bought this ratchet screwdriver set to disassemble an IKEA shelf stuck in our linen closet. I don't know how we even managed to get it in there, but one day we couldn't get it out. All in all a fairly high quality instrument with a good weight. For the price, it feels well made and sturdy. It is possible for the design to be as flat as a screwdriver without sacrificing usability (by using non-standard bits). The bits are universal and therefore versatile with a wide range of screws. I can use

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Very expensive

Poor tolerances and difficulty maintaining settings

TLDR: You will need an "ANEX Ultra Low Profile Ratchet Screwdriver" instead. ANEX may be twice the size, but it actually looks like a real instrument. I used a couple of those low profile, rectangular ratchet screwdrivers to mount a couple of fans on my desktop computer and found this Neiko tool far worse. Put a hand to steady the screwdriver and place the bit on the screw. This causes the screwdriver to accidentally switch from a clockwise setting to a counter-clockwise setting, and using aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Unsafe

Good value for money. Fits Screwdriver Accessories

I tend to keep writing reviews so I'll try to do it quickly. sandblasting. The beats feel more solid than I would expect from such a cheap tool. Handle: These are two pieces of perforated sheet metal painted black. The sides are made of plastic. No sharp edges or burrs. Metal plates are held in place with rivets at the end and pawl, which serve as an axle. Ratchet: The pawl is made of stamped sheet metal with a rough chrome finish. The spring and stopper for the dog are in the handle itselfโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Weight
