This seems to be a “love or hate” product when you read the reviews.

For me…

Not having nut drivers was no big deal. The listing didn’t offer them and I already have them.

I bought the set for what it was, ratcheting screw driver with phillips, straight, hex head, square head and torx tips.

There was also mention of “not fitting in the case”. But, if you released the extension from it’s first position, it drops into the handle and easily fits in the case.

I did not like how the magnetic wand fit in the extension and after reading a
review that mentioned how a person solved the “not fitting in the case” issue, I did exactly what the reviewer described. I removed the ratchet head and the lock ring that prevented the extension from coming out of the handle. (See the first photo).

Now the extension comes out of handle and the magnetic wand fits into the handle without the extension. Please know, if you do this, the extension slides out easily, when not locked into one of the length settings. This may have been why the ring was put on, so that certain users wouldn’t complain about the extension “falling out”.

For me, this is exactly how I wanted the screw driver to be, so I’m happy and thank that reviewer.

As to tips not directly fitting into the ratchet head and falling into the handle…. that hasn’t been the case with this one. The second photo shows the PH3 tip that came with the set, sitting directly in the ratchet head. The tip is seated and will not push through. The only difference between being directly in the ratchet head vs. the extension, is that it fits a little looser (as the ratchet head is not magnetized like the extension).

I did not expect the magnetic wand to be as strong as it is. There is pic that shows my car keys, 4 feet in the air, with the extension bending slightly under the weight of them. This pick up also paid for the set by retrieving an oil plug that fell into the drain pan during an oil change.

The thing I find weird with the screwdriver, is that the extension does not lock in when seated all the way in against the ratchet head. It has to be extended to the first notch to be locked in. This is why it doesn’t fit the case, unless it is released. This is shown in the third photo. But, as I can remove the extension and use the ratchet head directly, it doesn’t matter to me.

For the price, it ratchets in both directions, locks to become a solid driver and is comfortable in the hand. There are multiple tips, telescoping magnetic pick up and case.

For what I’ve done with it, it’s been great and should be even better when I magnetize the ratchet head.

the tools work as it should

As a female I did not have many tools so I purchased this to help me in assembling furniture and with small repairs around my home. This is a great little set, easy to use and very handy!

Exatamente como descrito.

Just got mine today and damn is it a great tool. My only concern is how some other buyers got one in which the rod can be fully removed while others got the one that CANT be taken out.

I wanted a much nicer screwdriver than the ones I have. This is a much nicer screwdriver than the ones I had.

Most recently it’s been a pleasure using it on assembling a troublesome dish holder. The holder needed a lot of finesse to be put together in a functional way, and the ratcheting of this screwdriver was very helpful. Sooooo much better than using the one contained in the product’s box, or the screwdrivers I already have.

I’m also glad I picked this one with it’s interchangeable bits. A full set at home would be a drag to store and lug around.

It feels like quality too.
