The Screwdriver I did not know I needed

[Fulcrum29]

Also... Project Farm requested publicly for LTT to send him one, if not he will probably buy it, that will be interesting. This was one of his community requests he happily pursued because he doesn't do promotions.

I am actually glad I created this thread, some nice alternatives given.

More info?

That's The Original "AUTO/RATCHET SCREWDRIVER".
Worked on a Spiral system. Push and it screws. There was also a little switch to change it from "Screw" to "unscrew".
*yassis I know how that sounds....
I think it best to check out a Youtube Video on Spiral Screwdrivers.

Has he done a ratchet screwdriver test before? I started watching him from late last year only.

I don't think so, no, would have remembered it.

Just checked, nope.

Ditto!. Have 2 -- mine and my father's. Both Stanley. My father's one will outlast the next 3 generations. Mine might make to my grandson.

They are really well built.

Stanley Stubby is all you need.


It's not the size that matters, but what you get to screw.

I buy cheap, I like cheap tools that actually work.

Bit more pricey but compact at R350 - R500

I do actually own one, without the ratchet though (maybe time for an "upgrade"). It's very handy except some odd cases where a longer screwdriver is needed.

If you need anything more get a cordless drill/Dremmel
