I had a similar ratchet 20-years ago...when the hex-bits first came out for tools...it came in a kit of them, and at that time...figured big deal, its a gimmick. I soon found, I used it more than most any other driver for the bits.Well...I needed a small tool-set for camping...and it hit me, get a small bit-set, and one of those little black ratchets...and put that in it. THESE LITTLE RATCHETS are almost impossible to find now...and when you find them, it is even harder to find a good-quality one that will survive actually being treated like a tool!Well, I got this in...and it is a real tool. It is heavy-duty, for its purpose...small, about the size of your index finger, and the back spinner knob comes off so that you can not only drive the 1/4" hex bits, but you can also drive 1/4" drive sockets on the reverse side! (they didn't mention that!))Overall, this is EXCELLENT! I really like it...used it a few times, and can already tell, for a tool...it is going to last for the long haul...not some chinsy cheap toy...If you need a good bit driver with some leverage, or for a pack in your glove box, or in your backpack, I highly recommend this driver!
