Comfy and dependable
I keep a compact set of tools nearby in case a spare moment arises in which to fix the part of my home/life that is presently causing the most inconvenience. Screwdrivers are essential, but I regularly need 5 to cover almost all household jobs: a multi-bit (and 6 interchangeable tips), a stubby a right-angle (for tight spaces), a precision (4mm) for very small fasteners, and a solid shank #2 Phillips for recessed holes. This Vessel model coupled with a 1/4"-to-4mm adapter combines four of those into one, leaving just the angled driver. Caveat that I don't mind using a stubby as a multi-bit. The build quality is chef's kiss, the palm spin method is already my preference so it's great to finally find a ratcheting driver that is designed around it, the $10 price tag is incredible and so very much appreciated, but the icing on the cake is the lovely suction "pop" of the stubby being removed from the shank. I could listen to that all day and am dreading the day it stops working but trying to live in the moment and appreciate it while it lasts. Such a good tool, for so many reasons, wish I had known about it sooner. I own a ratcheting snap-on and a couple ratcheting different brands but this one is the best of the lot. One of the few products I would give a sixth or even 7th star to if I could. The only negative thing I can think to say isn't fully negative: the magnetic multi-bit holder has a really tight fit, so unless you have a pretty ferocious grip, changing bits will take a little doing, or a pliers. I will never worry about a bit falling out but am expecting it to loosen up over time. Big tip!: Put your middle finger in one of the divots and grip the driver naturally and you'll never accidentally change the direction of the ratchet. View detail
