Review: One of the best - Very low back drag! Ratchet direction selector goes the right way. Easy to swap bits but good lock when it's in. It's the only bit lock that I like. I can't stand the others I have. Only negative is that it's a fairly small handle size. Same as their electrical handle one that I have (non ratcheting version). It's just too thin to get a lot of torque. So personally I wrapped it in silicone tape to increase it in size similar to the next size up of Wera handles. See photo. I did a terrible job with the tape but other than being messy-looking it's now so much more grippy and I'm able to transfer so much more torque. I wish this had a PB Swiss Grip handle. 😭 Unfortunately the PB Swiss ones have super strong back drag in the mechanism. Wera do make one with a thicker handle but not with the same ratcheting mechanism as far as I knew. But it's possible I would have been happier with the larger 60 RA model for my uses. I like the Zyklop models that can tilt the head but I find the ratchet on them too stiff. For now this is an awesome tool.
Review: Best Ratcheting screw driver ever! - The ease of use of this screw driver is so natural and amazing! To me, it’s literally the best ratcheting driver I’ve ever had. I promise you, you will not be disappointed! Where has this been my whole life. I’m in love with the smoothness of the gears, the transition is flawless. How natural it feels to use, the quality, the design, everything. Simply amazing!🥲

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ratcheting screwdriver
*by A***N on November 14, 2024*

I like this screwdriver very much just the right size. Very high quality looks like it will last a long time. It functions just as it should Right tighten, Left loosen. It will work with any 1/4 bits ( NOT DUBBLE END BITS ) it does not hold or come with any bits. It locks in the bits very tightly. Very good quality and value definitely a good buy.
