Stahlwille ratcheting screwdriver

[espyking83]

Thinking about getting one. Is it comparable to SO's in quality and smooth function?

That's the amazon supply link. It's between that and the bahco one with the convertible pistol grip.

Never used a Stahlwille tool, but I do know that the Bahco stubby ratcheting screwdriver is one of the best deals in the business.

Looks nice. Has a hard type handle tough. I like the soft type grips.

Have you tried the snap with soft grip with interchangable shanks ? I sure like mine.

Both are about same price.

I know it's been beaten to death, but the Williams WRS-1 ratcheting screwdriver is a re-badged Snap-On, and it was around $30 last I checked. Ok, make that $35.

I have one of those. picked it up a year or 2 ago. I had seen nothing but great things said on here about Stahlwille tools and figured I'd give this one a shot as I kinda have a thing for ratcheting screwdrivers. IMHO not worth what I paid and definitely not worth what they're asking on Amazon. Ratcheting action is stiff and coarse (even after lubricating the mechanism) and it really didn't feel good in the hand. The black part covering the shaft is a cheap piece of plastic, or at least it is on mine anyways. If you've got the Williams and like it, stick with it. or give the other one you mentioned a try.

^Exactly what I needed to know, thanks.

the new ones...:

Already ordered the pistol grip Bahco. How is the ratcheting mechanism? Is it smoother than the previous poster experienced? Kinda glad I didn't drop $70 on something that was rough.
