Bahco 808050P Pistol Ratchet Screwdriverand Bits, 1/4-Inch, 260 mm

This is a really good ratchet screwdriver. It has a comfortable grip, a quick release mechanism for 1/4 inch bits. Press the two orange buttons either side of the handle and a slot in the base slides out smoothly with the screw bits inside. I chose the angled handle model. Press the orange button on the handle and twist. The lower half is now at a comfortable and natural screwing angle to assist with installing screws higher up on a wall, chest height or above. The result? Less stress on the wrists. This screwdriver can also be used with the handle straight. The choice is yours. It is easily worth the money because it is a lovely tool, has a smooth ratchet and a nice weight in the hands, as well.

This works perfectly for me. The size is ideal and it feels pretty solid. Being magnetic with the bits in the handle make this perfect

I bought this when it was in a deal, although after using it I would have gladly paid full price for it. I am so glad I did, it has become my go to driver for small jobs around the house. The ratcheting movement is great, smooth and strong. I have had it for a while now and after about six months of light use it started occasionally sticks when moving between settings, this was fixed with a quick spray of WD40 and it has not returned since. It has six heads inside the driver which has done for most non intricate jobs, really saves the arm when putting several screws in.PROS:Good value for money, especially in a lightning dealSmooth ratcheting actionGood variety of heads for most usual screw sizesComfortable in your handCONS:After about six months of use the ratchet mechanism occasionally sticks, it was sorted with WD40 thoughTLDR; Does the job well although may need a spray of lubricant on the ratcheting mechanism after a while.

This is a good quality screwdriver, although not perfect. I suppose it depends on how picky you want to be about something like this? I would personally prefer it to be fractionally smaller, but it will suit people with big hands. Many users will also like the rubberlike material used to cover the handle. Hopefully, this will clean easily after a dirty job. I would also prefer not to have a storage compartment for bits in the handle. This feature will probably please many DIYers, but I'd just as soon pay a little less and use my own bits which I like readily available. There is some play in the shaft, but this is not automatically a bad thing. In use it doesn't matter much and a little tolerance may improve reliability. There is no obvious way to dismantle the ratchet mechanism for cleaning and lubricating purposes. Does this matter? I have an old ratchet screwdriver of exceptional quality purchased in the 1950s and it's never had more than a drop of machine oil at the front of the non-removable ratchet cover, although it still works really well. Generally speaking, I like the Bahco's positive ratchet control, which is better than the old more widely used design with a sliding switch. That said, I'm not convinced that this tool is quite as well engineered as the Spiralux ratchets of the 1980s, which were probably the best mass-production screwdrivers ever made (in the UK) and better than the Stanley Yankees.However, the Bacho's shaft rotates smoothly, the magnet grips the bits positively and the knurled section is handy. It balances quite well in your hand and will probably last reasonably well. All in all, a good product, although not ideal for very small fixings using the smallest bits available and undoubtedly not suitable for electrical jobs where insulation might be an issue. Other than that, a tool I'd certainly recommend after brief use.

This hits so many spots light is great and practical great quality and comfortable grip ratchet is easy to switch one handed and works well

Perfect, Fast delivery. Item exactly as described. Thank you. 5⭐

Great Bahco quality with just the bits you need for most jobs, what makes this driver exceptional is the light, which is bright and totally useful for darker areas, why its not seen on other drivers is beyond me?The overall quality is good and the handle is very ergonomic and has an excellect grip. The bits are removable from the handle by pushing a recessed little button which so far hasn't been pressed by accident while using it. There are six bits, 2 slotted, 2 Pozi & 2 Phillips which covers most tasks. The head is magnetic but quite weak and the shaft has a small knurled collar for aiding grip with awkward screws. The light is activated by pushing a small orgnge button on the top of the handle and its bright and more than adequete for its purpose. There's a little play in the driver when in the fixed postion but is this is the case with all drivers and not really noticable. It has a 48 tooth ratchet system and this is higher than most competing drivers at this price range. The mechanism is precise and tight.Would definetly recommed. Bahco quality and should last years.
