VESSELRatchet Stubby Screwdriver [No.TD-6700W-23] (Ph No.2/No.3) (Japan Import)

The tool was not holding the bits.

Todo bien

Get one. It's impressive for the tolerances and feel.

I use the extension, like it were a big screwdriver too.-Works flawlessly.

This is a very good little stubby ratchet with a smooth, light ratchet mechanism with good back drag that Japanese ratchets are so well known for. I have Snap-On and Bahco ratchets and this Vessel easily competes with them and has a light ratchet feel.However, two things to bear in mind, the handle is very stubby and shorter than other stubby's that you're use to but what I like about and I got use to was the knurled section the below the handle on the rotating shaft that allows your fingers to hold and hand turn fasteners to loosen or tighten fasteners, making this ratchet very useful for smaller, lighter, more delicate jobs. Also, the bits for this ratchet are double ended 1/4" hex bits as seen in photo and come with, these are longer than the traditional 1"/25mm long bits. The shorter bits will go deeper inside the shaft more and will be difficult to remove with your hand. Having said that, I find it a a plus when using 2" or long bits, it give nice solid feel. A 50mm or 75mm hex bit gives the stubby ratchet the feel and size of a normal size screwdriver. On my snap-on and Bahco these longer bits have lots of wobble and not the best combo. There is no magnet in this ratchet, it has a ball bearing with spring pressure to hold the bit inside the socket. I liked the rubber grip of the Bahco more but prefer using the Vessel. The Bahco went into the spare tool drawer.Later on after a lots of use, I flushed it out with rubbing alcohol and used Blue Creeper lubricant in the mechanism and works really well.

Excellent product.
