Snap On Ratcheting Screwdriver Bit Cage

[Straightgrain]

I'm trying to find a bit cage for my SO ratcheting screwdriver, I've searched the Snap On website and e-bay but can't seem to find one, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

What's bit cage? Like bit organize case?

A small cage that sets inside the handle of the screwdriver that keeps the bits from rattling around.

Oh, never seen those. They were always loose.

I don't think such a thing exists from Snap-on.

Another option, unless you already have or specifically want a Snap-on one:

Thanks, that would explain why I can't find one!? I thought there was a cage you can get for it.

Never seen one or heard of one for the Snap-ons. I've bought 7 or 8 of them and none have had one. All rattling around inside.

unless you mean this blue point one that holds the bits in a plastic style magazine in the handle

I don't know which screwdriver I was thinking about that has a round revolver type cage that holds the bits in the handle. Anyway, thanks for clearing things up and sorry for the confusion.

Pity, the cost of making these as a custom job would be prohibitive... despite the fact it's a good idea - I empty any screwdrivers with compartments for bits in the handle for that very reason. I don't care if it's practical, the rattling noise drives me nuts! lol

Haha. This is gonna drive me nuts... I know I have a bit holder that has the cage you are talking about... I'm sure it would fit in a snap on driver fine.

Edit,

I think it is the indexable driver in the bottom right. Not sure who made it, but I know Kobalt is selling one just like it. I assume it would have the same cage in the handle. I can check tomorrow if it fits in my Snappy.

As you spin the back of this one, it exposes different bits.

Ever consider putting a cloth in the handle to stop the rattling and keep the bits with you when you need them?

 

[Straightgrain]

Might be a good idea Mo. I'm with Sick Puppy, I don't like to hear the bits rattling around in the handle.

 

[Altec]

Checked both the no name indexable, and the Husky T handle. Both have cages... Both slightly to big.

I hadn't to be honest, although I figure that keeping them in a cloth is probably more hassle than it's worth! I'll grab one of those bit racks/holders I think...

I have that one, but I hate the ratchet system. When you turn the collar clockwise, the screwdriver ratchets counter-clockwise and vise versa, very annoying the reverse of what you would think it should be doing.

Those were on Cripe for $10. Not sure if they still have them.
