Stubby ratcheting screwdrivers comparison

[Dave455]

I've wondered about these a few times. They accept 1/4" bits but the proprietary bits with half of the handle look really nifty.



I guess that these have a lot more contact surface along the "shank" so they don't wobble much? And since you can grip by the bit-handle, it essentially has zero play when you're fine adjusting stuff?

Must resist, I DONT NEED MORE SCREWDRIVERS!

I have a couple of screwdrivers with a “ball” shaped handle (not Vessel) and although they look a bit odd, they are fantastic to use. It seems to be very easy to apply downforce to keep the driver in the screw, and still be able to spin it.

These Vessel ratcheting drivers seem to be a unique product, and I suspect are very well thought out. I can see these being superb tools for some electrical work.

I have one of the armstrong 66-580 gearless ratcheting bit driver screwdrivers also, its blue. It has been great. No slipping yet, and very silky smooth.

My favorite screwdriver of all time. I also have the stubby. Bought 3 off Cripe to give to my boys.
