Questions & Answers
It is only residual magnetism from being on the magnet of the driver that creates bits. There will be a short period of wear off.
If the bit is double ended, the machine will not be able to use it.
To remove the cap from the handle, handle end screws need to be loosened. It is also possible to use another type of bit if you have a specialized one you frequently use.
Selected User Reviews For STANLEY Screwdriver, Ratcheting, Multi-Bit (69-189)
It is hard to imagine a fine company such as Stanley Tools putting their name on such an item! It does not hold the ratchet position for more than a few turns before it turns into a regular screwdriver! Originally I bought this thinking that it would make tightening the screws on my wheelchair easier, but that was not the case at all! In the end, I had little to do with it except strip the screws' heads. Therefore, you could say that I was the only one who got screwed!.
- When you have many bits in one driver, you don't have to store them all separately, so it saves space in your drawer. I. - *A basic job seems to be able to be done with the construction. The price we paid was a good value - With a universal bit size, users have an alternative and/or longer bit available for other tasks (and there are a few extra slots in the base your extra bits can be stored in)
Cons I. - The body is bulky and stubby, and the length is short", It feels pretty light when you ratchet tension, which is not conducive to a feeling of confidence. The movements are wild and uncontrolled makes it seems like you are being thrown about by nature*br - The knob that allows you to switch between lock, screw, and unscrew is cheap-feeling and There is a risk that you may bump it and not know the setting you have chosen.
- However, there is no magnetic tip on this. Basically, I think this is a handy tool, and I love the ratcheting feature for when I don't have enough room or leverage to use an inch screwdriver The operation is done by hand. Though there are times when I use it to unlock, I often just leave it locked and forgo the ratcheting feature altogether because it isn't any faster or smoother than using 2 hands. For basic jobs around the house, this is a device you should have around, but don't expect that it will replace everything in your toolkit. For a longer and narrower tip, I suggest using it with an extension as well.
The quickest and easiest way to do work! When you have one of these tools in your tool bag, you will soon realize how much work it saves and how much space it saves. The toolbag I used to keep in my office had 12 single drivers in flat and Philips sizes, plus a magnet and a screwdriver I use this driver on all of my various square, torx, and star This is now my main driver. I have a couple smaller ones for tight spaces too. As an added benefit, the ratcheting action works well in tight spaces and corners. For the first time, I used the ratchet to remove an aluminum outside door from a narrow alcove, which would have been a major pain without it. As long as the bits are 1/4in standard, it will fit in the sleeve without problem. In fact, most of the standard bits nowadays have notches on them, so they will not only lock the bits that come in the handle, but are also compatible with most other bits. There are 8 bits in the handle compartment + 1 in the sleeve, so you can have 9 bits available at all times on a single driver, combined with a 50-piece set of bits You will have nearly everything you need in almost any situation if you have a bit set up. myself one for Christmas and enjoyed it so much that I bought my dad a similar one for Father's Day. These were both $12 and I thought that was a great deal. With a current price of $8, it would be crazy not to have one of these in your tool kit. The item is excellent.

Buying these items as a gift for a craft group run by a friend online who teaches woodwork craft activities to young boys at a Native American Bible Ministry group is my way of giving back. running the program is a Choctaw and lay preacher who came up with the idea to help the boys continue to be able to make things by gradually supplying them with tools so they would have a basic tool set and tool box when they leave. Having submitted a request for donations of basic tools, he was not able to get a good reply. As a citizen of Australia, I thought it was a great idea, and have purchased several items for the So far, my friend has been very satisfied with the quality of the items they have received.
Despite the reviews of this device, I was excited to try it out myself. I'm not sure if there is anything better than this product (I've never used a ratcheting screwdriver), but I find that it's a little Despite pulling down the release correctly, it's really hard to extract the bits. It's an odd, bulky size, and the bits are hard to remove, no matter how hard I try. As for the handle bit storage area, it's functional, but it feels cheap, like it will loose its plastic threads as quickly as the multi-tool I bought from the dollar store Almost every screwdriver comes with a bit. There is something a little uncomfortable about the ratcheting action on this, but this is a matter of taste and will probably be acceptable to Having moved it to our kitchen drawer from the bathroom drawer, it now serves as an awkward household driver (which is nice since it replaces the two drivers that were residing there), but I'm happy to keep my screwdrivers and power drills in my.
As an electrician, I have had plenty of ratcheting drivers in the past they are handy for transporting different bits instead of having to carry a set of screwdrivers, allen wrenches, and torque drivers all the time. As you can see, it's not hard. It is rare for them to last long, however. It's just a matter of giving up. There is no doubt that this is the best ratcheting driver I've ever used. There is nothing loose about it The goosey texture is similar to others I have encountered. I am replacing one that was almost as old as my other one. I'll see how it holds up over time. Until I see the long-term picture, I'm pretty impressed with it.
