Bought this to replace my old Stanley multi head ratchet screwdriver (which my son now uses) with its 3 position ratchet Screw in function, withdraw Screw function & fixed position screw in or out function. It gives you all you need, with 12 screw bits in total, 6 mounted around the handle, and another 6 stored withi the screw off head of the handle. One tool 12 bits, all you need in one simple well built tool. But with confidence.

I own 2 of these. Just bought another for my daughter on her way off to college. It's a priceless treasure to have in your toolbox or kitchen utility drawer.

This is a well-engineered and well-built tool. The ratcheting mechanism works just great. And it's got perfect grip and balance.

This has been one of the most versatile/useful tools in the kitchen "junk drawer" for years. One of those products that works better than advertised. Buying to give to friends.

This Stanley screwdriver is a comfortable, functional ratcheting driver with a good system for storing bits on-board.The handle is gripped and textured with a rubber material making it comfortable to use for long durations if installing or removing several screws in one short period. The length of the shaft is long and narrow enough to fit into many deep places where stubby drivers won't.I found the bits included to be excellent fits for most common screw types, Phillips, Pozidriv, Square, Slotted, and Torx. Note that the square bits are not official Robertson bits, but will drive Robertson screws albeit with a fit that's off slightly due to no tapered ends.The ratcheting mechanism is superb and I have had nothing but great experiences driving and removing screws with this tool.Bit storage is easy with the rotating storage on the shaft, and it will fit most other bits of the same length if you'd prefer to swap them out.Overall, good ratcheting screwdriver from Stanley. I highly recommend.

This is by far my favorite tool in my toolbox, I now own three of them total. The ratcheting system works great, there is easily accessible bit storage on the top of the tool which removed the hassle of getting a new bit from your box or the bottom of the tool. They are locked in by a rotating lock system that only allows for one bit to be removed at a time and there is a place where the lock can make sure all bits are secured at once. The entire bit storage assembly at the top can also rotate freely so you can find the next bit you need quickly and you can hold onto the assembly when you are screwing something in.They really thought of everything here. The only con I can find are that the bits aren't the highest quality. They're plenty good for general home use but I replaced the Stanley bits with DeWalt ones for my toolbox screwdriver.

Best screw driver set I have ever used. I'm an IT Technician I use this for work its perfect for working on desktops, servers, and printers etc. The screw driver is of high quality and can be used for any kind of work. The ratcheting ability is awesome it makes the job easier especially for really tight difficult to reach and bit a fun to use as well.

I really don't love this screwdriver, I should by all means, because it works really well as a screwdriver, the ratcheting action is good, it's firm, and works EXACTLY like I feel a Ratcheting Screwdriver should. It's a good width, it's easy to find, it's comfortable to use, and I love the compartments at the base of the bit shaft.The back however has a rotating cap. This cap just sucks, it is a terrible thing, and it should reside in the dominion of fire and screaming for the rest of its days.When you're using the screwdriver, you'll often loosen the cap, this is an annoyance. However if you open it, you'll notice it has six convenient slots for bits on it and surely enough you being the handy person you are, you grab six more bits to carry with your screwdriver, because more bits is better no matter who you are.The thing is, the cap doesn't hold these bits too snugly, and this is whare you start to have issues. See, if the bits you have in there aren't very wide, such as a flathead, or a torx, or a box end bit, or a small phillips, or well, any really small diameter bit (which i'll say are often the most useful on a screwdriver like this, you just often don't get the torque you need from mini screwdriver sets). If the bit were to become dislodged, it will come out of its slot enough to wedge itself in the ring in the grip. The ring in the grip I THINK is there to prevent bits from falling into the endless void of the screwdriver handle, where it will surely be stolen by goblins and used to create traps to overthrow humanity at a later date, as opposed to you simply turning the driver over and fetching your fallen bit. Honestly, my money's on the goblins.Once it's wedged, it isn't going anywhere, it stops the screwdriver cap from moving counterclockwise or clockwise, and at this point it becomes... "Do I wan't to free my bits?" Since they were useful enough to be in there, my bet is yes. The choice becomes turning the cap hard enough to open it, which will involve pliers, which ends up destroying the inner part of the cap, and chewing up the sides of the cap as well, or simply giving up and not using the screwdriver's bits, knowing full well there's a bunch of starving, less fortunate bits inside of the screwdriver that can barely breathe, stuck inside a horrifyingly yellow or black container. This little thought will burn the back of your mind, and most likely you'll think about it every time you'll use the screwdriver. I vote people don't think about helpless starving little bits trapped in a jar every time they go to fix something.So how do these bits come out? comes down to flimsy plastic and G-Forces, dropping the screwdriver, spinning it, putting it in your pocket and walking or running, throwing it into the dirt when you're mad, the usual stuff, all has the ability to cause this angst.In short, good screwdriver, DO NOT PUT BITS IN THE CAP AT THE BACK. The end.

I wanted a nice sturdy screwdriver with interchangeable bits. I've used ratcheting screwdrivers before so I thought I'd give this one a try. Seems like it should be a simple thing, to design a screwdriver with an interchangeable tip.Unfortunately, much like most modern hand tools, this screwdriver is too busy having lots of bells and whistles and almost fails at the task of actually performing the required task of driving screws. If I had to guess, I might put my money on this screwdriver being designed by somebody that has never actually used one..Things that have happened repeatedly after three uses:-The cap for the bit storage in the end of the grip is threaded. Seriously.. So, if you're applying pressure on the end of the tool (to keep the bit seated tightly in a screw, for instance), you'll be constantly fighting with the end cap coming loose.- The ratchet in/out/lock adjustment works by rotating a large part of the grip towards the tip-end of the tool, so when you're using it it'll be switching modes on you randomly unless you hold it very carefully.- The tool storage thingy on the tip-end of the tool rotates freely, interfering with your grip of the tool.- The tool storage thingy is very cumbersome to use, bits stick in their slots, etc, but it's not removable so you're stuck with it on there (I figured I might be able to just get rid of it based on the pictures).Avoid this unless you're buying it as a decoration or for someone you don't like..

This is a nice product. It's probably not meant for heavy work, but for around the home and general work, it's very, very nice. When I bought it, I thought there was going to be storage for all the bits inside the handle, but that's not the case. There's a yellow plastic holder that's meant for hanging the screwdriver on the wall (or wherever), and the 3-4 bits that don't fit inside the handle near the base the metal fit in it. It feels like it's made from high-quality materials and has high-quality workmanship. A nice bargain.
