STANLEY 0-68-010 Multibit Ratchet Screwdriver + 10 Bits, Silver a

Great versatile tool.

Bought a new one as other one started to fall apart after 3 1/2 yrs. a bit plasticky. New one was stiff so had to wD40 it. Loads of heads easy to use!! Had to buy two. But was still very cheap!! Other one went as pressie to person building up their tools!!

A very good ratchet screwdriver which works very well and feels durable, it's also comfortable in use which counts for a lot I think.My only comment is that the supplied bits get a bit disjointed and did not offer a thought out set. But having said that I bought this for the driver and bought a separate set of bits so it's not really an issue.If you want a good ratchet driver then you could do a lot worse than consider this.

Really, really amazing product. I have used ordinary screwdrivers all my life and now that I have osteoarthritis I find that using a conventional screwdriver makes my wrists really ache and I haven't got the power in my hands anymore to keep turning the screwdriver to get nails in or out. This ratchet screwdriver is worth every penny. It holds all the bits in the handle part of the driver and these can be changed simply by twisting the part holding the bits and taking one out then twisting again to keep the rest of them held in place. This makes things so much easier instead of having to keep going back and getting another type of screwdriver with the correct head for the screw in question - a very annoying thing to keep having to do. Also to be able to start off taking the screw out and then using the ratchet device to finish off the job is such an easy task now that I have the Stanley ratchet screwdriver. I decided on the this screwdriver because I have always preferred to buy good, reliable tools as it is always money well spent and money saved in the long run - cheaper ones need replacing all the time as they don't stand up to constant use. Definitely recommend this screwdriver - you will never regret buying it.

I needed a replacement for my existing ratchet screwdriver which came as part of a socket set and had generally been used and abused. Stanley tools I have found to be good quality and was not disappointed by this screwdriver. It feels good in the hand and allows a good solid grip. the mechanism to lock and reverse is positive but not sloppy. Some might say it's on the stiff side but in my opinion not excessively so and as it is still new I would expect it to free up a bit over time. As supplied the screwdriver comes with ten bits:-2 slot heads 6.5mm & 5mm2 Pozidrive PZ1 & PZ22 Philips PH1 & PH22 Torx T10 & T152 square R1 & R2These come as six positively located on the outside of the handle and an additional four slotted into a plastic holder intended to be fitted to a tool board of some sort. I rearranged mine so that those used most frequently are easiest to get at. As I don't intend to mount this to a board the fact that the top of the handle unscrews to offer a compartment in which to store these additional bits is a bonus. There are even slots to hold these bits and a further two in the head of the handle. What this means is that using this tool as an impact device, (as I frequently do with conventional screwdrivers of the non ratchet type), is a big no no. The magnet which holds the bits in place whilst in use is strong enough to avoid the bits dropping out under almost any conditions encountered in normal use although I would suggest that returning bits to their storage location after use is good practice.The handle has a rubbery feel to the black part, the yellow highlights are smooth. Good grip where it matters and the bright colour means the tool is easy to spot in the work place. unless of course it gets kicked under the sofa or some such.I bought mine for £7.99 which is a steal for this quality. All in all, highly recommended.

Good tool

I first saw one of these screwdrivers when my brother did some DIY for me. I was highly impressed as it seemed to have every function someone could want in a fully contained unit. The handle has a rubberised grip which ensures no slippage and also gives comfort. The driver shaft is quite long which might be useful if you need to reach deep into somewhere to reach the screw. The screwdriver is supplied with a ring of different bits around the front of the handle and some additional ones inside the handle if the rear is unscrewed. Any of the bits are held firmly in place when in use as the surface contacting it is magnetic.I even noticed one of the experts on the “Repair Shop” on the TV using one so they must be held in high regard by experts too.So, a straightforward, reliable tool with no need for batteries or charging. I love it!

This is actually a fairly nice budget-ish ratchet screwdriver, let down by a major design flaw: it's near impossible to get the bits out of the six-slot rotating carousel near the head without the aid of another tool, essentially rendering the feature almost entirely pointless. If I need to carry around a pair of needle nose pliers to get out the bit, then I might as well just be carrying the extra bits in a separate holder. Yes, you can use the smaller flat bit from the (much more useful) handle storage to nudge them out, but this is still pretty tricky and risks unnecessary damage to both bits. If they couldn't get the feature to work properly, they should have just left it out.
