Williams WRS-1 ratcheting screwdriver

[sonvolt]

I'm looking at picking one up from Amazon, it is the US made model. What's your experience with this model. I already have a snap on version for at home and I will be using the Williams at work.

Great driver, just like the snappy.

5 bucks cheaper here....

I got one towards the end of last year and it was COO USA. The other day a member Warmpancakes stated they that have moved to Taiwan, he is usually up on Snap On products....so .

I have the exact one, purchased from the same vendor, and I love it. Mine is definitely USA-Made, and came with Snap On bits in the handle.

I'll also add. They are not exactly like the snap on drivers. The handle shape is different. The williams is triangular where as the snap on is square. The shaft finish is also different, but the mechanism feels the same.

Amazing screwdriver, not just for the money. Nearly identical to the Snap On, very subtle differences. Its a $70 driver all day.

True, I believe there is a knurled section on the SO driver's shaft. Not so on the Williams...

If I recall, the Snappy has a knurled part on the shaft. Williams is about 2/3rds the price and I could live with that.
