Make up post. Very busying trying to clear the boxes and shelve the stuffs as well as driving screws.

Day 20
 [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  
Leatherman ratchet with different handles and bits. It's party time.

 [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  
Vessel Prokon 220W with short Bosch bit

 [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  
Surge with Vessel bit. The edge is not comfortable.

 [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  
Toughbuilt as handle with Vessel bit. More comfortable but the ratchet does not stay in the holder.

Obviously Vessel  Prokon wins in the ergonomics. And Surge and Toughbuilt is a draw, Surge is less comfortable, but Toughbuilt is a bit clumsy to use. They get the job done nevertheless.

Putting up the clock. The smaller 270BW is enough.

This Geinxurn cheapie is quite nice. Tiny bit box, impact extension, impact bits in two bit holders. And they're transparent rubber. Anyone know where to get empty ones? I've never seen transparent ones before.

For me, the easiest ratchet combo to carry includes a Leatherman with bit driver, since it doesn't require me to carry extra bits.  Note the sweet, old school Wave Minus.

Day 21:

Early 2000’s USA craftsman 3/8” drive roundhead ratchet.

It is “fine tooth,” but not the same as the older, more collectible, roundhead fine tooth ones. This one does not have a socket release or thumb wheel.

Day 20

I was at my old home, which is my daughter's current home. As usual, there was something broken that I had to fix. In this case, it was the face of a kitchen cabinet drawer that had fallen off. I went into my old shed to find some materials to make the repair and found an Ironton mini ratchet I bought at Northern Tools a few years ago. I attempted to use it for a moment but quickly switched over to the Milwaukee.

Day 21

My grandson wanted to earn some more V Bucks, so he helped me make some repairs at his home. His services are quite expensive when judged by the output of work performed. But it is well worth it to me to have him enthusiastically working with me  :D

DAY 22  What I really like about the old Fiskars ratchet driver is the round ball handle.  What I don't like is that it's very picky about bits.  Amazingly, I haven't lost the three that came with it, and that's a good thing.  It likes Craftsman nut driver bits, but not Craftsman screw/hex driver bits.  It also does not work with Brownells bits.  >:(

That’s odd. What makes it so picky?

Day 22:

Some actual usage today. My son got a toy truck for his birthday and accidentally popped the door off. Had a couple of small Philips screws to remove and reinstall to get the door back on. Tight fit was a perfect application for the Vic bit ratchet.
