As I mentioned over in the general tool discussion , I have been wanting to mod a bunch of multis to include a ratcheting mechanism . Two sources or tools that I am considering buying are ;
# 1 . The ratchet T _ drivers from sabertoooth tools at ;
http://sabertoothtools.com/cart/?product=ratchet6pack
A six pack of them is $ 49.95 with shipping probably will come to approximately $ 10 a tool . I had aquired one of these some time ago and looking at it I cionsider that it will be easy to cut to mod into what I want . The main body of it being close to the size of a oversized felt pen .
# 2 . Would be the SELECT-A-BIT RATCHETED MULTI-ANGLE DRIVER from ;
http://www.starkelectronic.com/iti.htm
This one has a nice angle feature to it . I would be removing the plastic handle and modding as necesary to achieve my purpose .
Would you all have any other suggestions of models to consider ? Basically I am looking for a ratcheting mechanism that is as small as possible once any undesired handles , etc are removed .
Any thoughts anyone ?

I've seen ratcheting hex-bit screwdrivers at the hardware store, but I'm not sure which brand they were.
I've got to stop in there tomorrow. I'll check out the selection and let you know.

Don't know if these could be taken apart and used. I saw these awhile back from Harbor Freight, though they are available many different places.
