IDEAL Electrical 35-988 Ratch-A-Nut Screwdriver 9-In-1 Ratcheting Nut Driver with Screwdriver, Driver Bit Sets

great concept. not to many small pieces such as the 21 n 1's , etc. u want something quick , versatile, and easy to find in a ceiling, etc.., with not to many small parts to easily loose and render the tool useless. this fits all those bills. with that said, the ratcheting action seems to slip at times but im not totally sure. haven't used it to often, but i thought i noticed it a few times and i did not other reviews stating the same thing. I will have to see in the future. the wire nut wrench, genius idea to put in a multi screwdriver, and also has three (not 2 like most multi's) commonly used by electricians nut drivers. all functions are ratcheting. Totally thought through this concept. durability,,will see, but seems well made, with good grip.the ratchet issue,,time will tell. about the ideal customer service issue. i broke one of the flat head tips for this driver (not taking away from driver for that. their all only so strong on these multi's) torquing down on a lug. tried to return to ideal for refund and was told(with attitude) that the tips were warrantied for only 90 days, wich IS NOT noted anywhere on the package, but does say lifetime guarantee. fine, i haven't owned more than 90 days at the time so i was then told they do not honor warranties on drivers sold by amazon because there not ideal retailers...HUH???? its your screwdriver, it was new, lifetime guarantee,,REPLACE IT! ALL THIS WAS TOLD TO ME WITH ATTITUDE. SO I CONTACTED AMAZON, THEY SAID THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HONOR THAT WARRANTY AND WOULD LOOK INTO IT IMMEDIATELY AND SENT ME AN ENTIRE NEW SCREWDRIVER. OVERNIGHT. cant say enough about amazons great customer service, and cant say enough against ideals. great job amazon. and to end this review, yes i think this is a great driver so far, best concept ever, and maybe in the future improve the ratchet action, then they have a hit on their hands despite their customer service. unfortunately bad service can also kill a business as fast as bad products UPDATE: 10/03/2013 this is the best multi screwdriver i have owned. the ratchet action has not slipped, the wire nut driver is a complete wrist saver, and arthritis prevention. terrific grip. absolutely no complaints. Absolutely the best multi screwdriver for an electrician such as myself. journyman electrician 17 yrs. I use this thing every single day of work and its the first tool (with my linemans) I grab from my box. upgraded to 5 stars

The BEST and only screwdriver you'll ever need as an electrician. I've seen all the set where you can carry bags of different driver,but it seems crazy. You can have this one and save yourself a ton of money and space for comfort and reliability.

very good but expensive

I have had this now for a few years. I bought it in 2015 and it stood up to the daily work. I am an electrician so it was getting used almost daily . The bottom where you can use it for the wire nuts has not stripped down from use. The bits were easy to use. there are times when the bit was hard to go back in I just took a small brush and cleaned it inside where the dirt and grime built up after that worked like a champ again. It is long,

Easier on your wrist!

I found this to be a very good and reliable tool. It has the basic screw driver tips and nut drivers you use. I also found that the wire nut tool on this is very good. The only ratchet screw that I believe is better is the snap on ratchet screw driver. If you are a electrician this would be great to have and use on a daily basis.

Love this ratcheting screwdriver. Awesome for electrical work. If you're having trouble finding replacement bits for this Ideal Ratch-a-Nut screwdriver, the Greenlee #9953-13 Multi-tool Replacement Bits, currently available here on Amazon for $6.79 for a set of both the big and small flat/Phillips bits are a perfect match to the originals.

I use this Ideal screwdriver almost every day working maintenance at a school. Any screwdriver can drive a phillips or flat head but the ratchet mechanism really helps drive home those screws that are biting really hard. It also holds up great because after our team using four of these multiple times a week for five years only one has a ratchet that slips sometimes. However, if you lock the ratchet by putting it in between clockwise and counterclockwise it does not slip at all. Even still it I love the wire nut ratchet on the bottom which comes in handy for big gauge wires the do not want to twist together easily. Lastly, my favorite aspect to this screwdriver is the three different size hex screws it can drive. When I come across those types I am always happy I have an Ideal close to drive it or take it out quickly! I now have one for myself at home and I still think it is by far the best screwdriver out there in my opinion! I do not think you will regret this buy.

Nice product. Good quality

El producto en la parte para apretar tuercas solo es compatible con tuercas amarillas que no tengas las alas y el rojo que no tengan alasni si quiera entra, deberían especificar que solo funciona para aquellos que tienen alas ya sea rojos, amarrillos porque el naranja quedq flojo
