Kobalt 2-Piece Ratchet Screwdriver Set (Trouble)

[cms_]

I had a gift card and bought this 2 piece set a couple of weeks ago. Feel in love with them. Very handy and they work super great on changing out door knobs in my new to me house. But last night the ratcheting mechanism went bad on the phillips head. I took it back to Lowes this morning and they replaced them. I really love these 2 screwdrivers because they a dedicated magnetic tipped slotted and phillips head screwdriver. I dont need a bit multibit screwdriver because the shank is too thick to get into some places like door knobs.

My question is... does Snap-On or Mac make a ratcheting dedicated screwdriver? I feel like these Kobalts will fail again.

This is the Kobalt set:

I did a little searching today and found nothing.

Hopefully someone will have better luck than I did because I would really like to have a better brand but in this design.

Thanks again.

the Snap-On ones have extra shanks you can buy to make them longer. I believe they also have one that's kinda curved. I have this set from Matco:

And I use the longer shank for stuff like door knobs and such.

You can try getting a Williams.

The shank is not very large in diameter and the ratcheting action works well.

Snap-on also makes ratcheting screwdrivers with removable shanks.
