I'm not obsessed with this ratcheting stubby, but...
on: April 13, 2023, 01:40:31 PM
I really like it. I've found the same design from nine brands so far, and I have three of them: MichaelPro, Sata, Teng Tools. It's quite a decent ratcheting stubby. Very comfortable and solid.

The Teng Tools seems to be the most unique. It's the only one with a different handle pattern. It also says Teng Tools on the bit driver. The others have patent numbers there. Also, the Teng Tools one seems to be the only one that has a slightly different construction. It has room for a bit to be stored in the middle of its carousel. The other two I have are not like that, and I have not seen any others being sold with a bit in the middle of the carousel, so I doubt they'd have room for one.

Other brands:

Boxo


Gorilla


Lancer


Platinum Tools


Projahn


Tekiro


I seem to have ran out of options now that I have those three. No others are available here. No others are available to order to Australia.
If you've seen one of those I listed or indeed of any other brand of this design, please share.

They are handy for sure. I only have the no-fancy ones without bits in the handle. Although the double reverse ones still have 4 bits, so still handy.

I think I've seen similar designs from Wera and Wiha too.

I think Wiha is the one with a big sized non-stubby driver where you push some button and 14 double sided bits pops up like some surprising flower on the top. (It also work the other way - you can be happily screwing, touch that button wrong, and it just shoots away from your hand).

I really like those. The one I have unfortunately I overtightened so I stripped the threads off the cap for the bit storage.

Haven’t figured out a solution yet except for plumbers tape which I have to refresh every so often.

I saw the Sata one on youtube, and if a guy who uses primarily Snap-On tools liked it, it's good enough for me. :D

Hey, my healthy interest in tools is hurting nobody (but my wallet). But many benefit from it. A couple of days ago I tightened an armrest in a chair in the hospital gym. I love fixing things wherever I can. :D

I will make reviews, why not. I've tried many drivers for edc so why not share my findings. :D

I'm hoping home on Friday!  :cheers:

My not so healthy interest in tools and knives do hurt my wallet quite a bit [pun intended] also  :whistle:
People seem to like my pictures on Instagram, so that makes me happy  :)

Fixing things in the wild world is extremely satisfying: it helps us justifying the unjustified tool chest carry  :multi:

I really like these.  I have a ratcheting screwdriver set that I got on sale last year at Canadian Tire.  It was about $15 then.

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-65-pc-ratcheting-screwdriver-and-precision-screwdriver-set-with-extension-bars-and-case-0576015p.html

It's obviously not the same type, but I found that the handle's ergonomics were so bad that if i use it for more than maybe 5 twists, my hand and wrist start to hurt.  It's not much pain at first, but it increases quickly, so by twist #10 you are very unhappy.

With these shorter handles maybe it's easier to twist over the end and it looks like it may be a bit easier on my hand and wrist.  I may have to look for one of these!
