Pittsburgh Pro ratcheting t handle screwdriver

[bluechevy94]

I picked this up a week or so ago with a coupon for $7.99.Its item number 96560.I have a gearwrench set and like it very well but thought this be handy to have.It has quick release chuck and the shaft length can be adjusted with 4 settings.One nice thing about it is the ability to able to use different screwdriver bits and holders and nut drivers.I have used it a few times and it seems to be made pretty good.The ergonomics and the ratcheting mechanism isn't as smooth.as my gear wrench set but then again it was only 8 bucks.Will it replace my gearwrench set? No...but when I don't feel like getting the GW set out I will grab it instead.To me the GW is more versatile in what you can do with it but the set also cost considerably more.For someone who needs a decent ratcheting t handle driver but doesn't want to spend the money for GW set the Pitts Pro is a good choice IMO.Here are a few pics.

Thank you for the review... That looks pretty good for the money. Is it made in taiwan or china? Have you had it slip any gears on you?

May have to check er out.

Not sure on the COO I didn't pay any attention. No it hasn't slipped any since I have had it.I used it today while rebuilding the throttle body on my truck.I cranked down it pretty good while removing the mounting bolts and didn't get any slipping.
