Snap on ratcheting screwdriver

[Paullew]

Just learned this. On the newer style Snap on ratcheting screwdrivers the end cap doubles up as a finger spinner. There is a 6 point cavety to put a bit into. Just figured this out....... Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

Huh. Never knew that. Cool idea. I wonder who else didn't know....

I found that out via this forum a couple weeks ago. Haven't used it yet though.

That's cool, I wonder if the old style is like thats. I'm trapped at home with 30 inches of white death and don't have one here to check.

Old style does not have that feature

 

[Paullew]

Old style are hollow.....

my aviation guys cant use this ratcheting screwdriver anymore. if you push really hard ont he back the cap will unscrew itself causing the bits to fall out. FOD problem.
so they started sealing their cap up, they lost the finger bit driver feature by doing this. i use it to hold the 2nd most used bit in the handle

That's a cool idea. I checked my Gearwrench to see if it has the same feature - it doesn't

WOW...I never noticed that...Probably cause I ONLY use my hard handle ratcheting screwdriver's though.

Never knew that.. wonder if mine has this feature, have to check in the morning.

I just bought a new master set and what do you know, it has that feature!
Too bad I don't like the feel of the handle in my hand.......look in the classified section soon.
