Review: Great Wera Tool - My go to screwdriver - Great Wera ratcheting screwdriver. It has been my go to screwdriver for the last year. The ratchet is smooth and the ability to drive the bit makes it very easy to get started when there is not enough tension to engage the ratchet. Its a nice compact handle that will work well with either a set of wera bits or any other standard bits you have lying around. The handle may be on the smaller side but I think they have released a larger version this year.
Review: Brilliant addition to your tools - Absolutely great little ratchet driver, comfy in the hand, not too big or small, solid build, ratchet mechanism works well and easy to switch with a finger during use, no complaints!
