This Amazon Basics ratcheting screwdriver from my junk drawer has a lot of mileage on it.

Day 19

Out camping and this water pump stopped working.  Used the Klein to remove the body screws, but, it would not separate until I put the ratchet into use. Not exactly its intended use.  It worked well.

DAY 19

I was asked directed   :twak: to bleed the radiators in order that Mrs Surge is warm & toasty in the early UK spring morning (basically zero degrees)

I could have just used the radiator key but where's the challenge in that  :dunno: I decided to make it as difficult as possible.... :whistle:

Day 19

m47mu47nt's 5.11 OPT ratchet reminded me that I have a similar OPT made by NiteIze:



It comes with double ended Phillips and straight bits with ball detent.

Day 20

My MichaelPro ratcheting stubby, with a chuck and a steel cutting tip from my Dremel set. I drilled a hole in the Multiforce extension and installed a ball bearing with collar. Now it has retention for regular bits and stubby bits. I also removed a bit from the tip to make it shallower. Now it can drive regular and stubby bits and double-ended bits, and also has knurling and a ball bearing at the base, perfect for the PocketWrench etc.
