Ratcheting screwdriver reccomendations

[MAD]

I love my Bahco/Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver but the one I use the most is a yellow NEBO 13 in 1 driver that I picked up at Home Depot for ten bucks. (as seen in this link)

http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/nebo-tools/

It fits in my belt pouch So I carry it all the time at work. I have been using it several to many times a day for the last year and a half. It has a very nice smooth easy ratcheting mechanism and the bits that came with it are very good. The Phillips bits have anti-camout ribs. The direction selector is easy to operate with one hand and stays where you set it in use. I have dropped it many times with no ill effects. I can't find anyone selling this model now though.

I read this link yesterday and ordered a gearwrench 40 piece master set from arizonatools.com and order at 2:00pm and got it here today at 1:20pm and wanted to say thanks for the info and the link... Great tools, and will let me save my snap on ratchet (2 green) and one red t handle short stubby for cleaner jobs and or backs up, and let me trash these at the set cost as much as the red one I just bought, if I had seen the set first I wouldn't have placed the order for the snap t handle. Thanks you again for the info and keep it coming!!!!

That is a good price; Sears has it for $79.99, go figure!

So, is Arizona tools .com a reputable company? Their pricing is aggressive; never hear of them before!

I ordered the 56 piece Gearwrench screwdriver set for $17.99 when it was on sale at Sears. I expect I will not be disappointed at that price.

I did too. Just in case at least we still have the sockets. Probably worth $17.

I had never heard of arizonatools.com, but saw them I think on this link and ordered and great service better packing than sears and great product. I would buy from again, since I am in AZ I got it in a day.... I think you might find a little better price, when I looked I found 5 less, but not sure of the rep of the company. I just wanted to share the good luck and quality I had with them, in case someone else wanted to buy from them. Look at the site and they talk about themselves and how long they have been in business. I like when people share nice places to do business with and then I can buy from them, hahaha.

Am I right in my suspicion Snap-On buys a license from Danaher to manufacture their own SO branded gearwrenches?

No, Snap-On gearwrenches are dual pawl. Danaher's are single pawl having a dual center of curvature.

I received a sample of the Bahco 808050 last week.

http://www.jhwilliamstoolgroup.com/...groupcom/Commerce/ProductImages/pdf005780.pdf

It's approx 40 Tooth, and a really nice handle that's an oval shape that fits in your hand really well.

It comes with 6 bits which are stored in the handle. You press down on both of the orange buttons on the grip and a 6-Bit holder pops out of the handle.

Pretty Neat Tool!

Where's it made Theo?

It's made in Taiwan. Not sure in which facility though...

Is this the same screwdriver as the new Blue Point ratcheting screwdriver that came out last month?

Here is another option, as if you didn't have enough already.

I just Googled the BP tool and yes, it seems to be similar. Except for the color.

I've got one of these; they're very nice and made in USA!

That is a damn nice tool right there!

Probably the sleeper of ALL the ratcheting screwdrivers...

The Gearwrench model is such a blatant copy of the Snapon it is unbelievable!

Come on guys admit it! LOL!

They copied everything but the worst part: the price!
