“Surprisingly useful screwdriver with complete bit set.”

I've had several ratcheting screwdrivers in the past and they weren't that useful.  The direction selector mechanism was inconvenient and there was too much play in the ratcheting mechanism.  But then I got this Craftsman model.  It works great!  The ratcheting mechanism is very fine and changing...

“Recommended but ratcheting mechanism fails often”

I have three of these and the ratcheting mechanism has failed on all three.  I do highly recommend it if you don't use the ratcheting part.  The best part is it holds the screws magnetically until you get them started.  The handle storage is good.

“Comes in VERY Handy”

“Excellent Buy”

I love this screwdriver. The bits are plenty beefy and the ratcheting action is among the best I've ever seen. My only complaint is that the handle gets dirty pretty quickly and once it's got grease on it, it's impossible to get it completely clean again.
Other than that, 5 stars!

“A great scredriver with a goodly number of bits ....”

but the screw driver is a little too long in my opinion.  Shave an inch off and it would be perfect!

“Great multi use screwdriver.”

Picked up this screwdriver to keep at my desk at work. Works great and has a nice assortment of bits for the random stuff i have to take apart at my desk.

“A decent pro quality tool”

This is a professional quality driver with a smooth ratchet that operates as advertised. The grip is somewhat large, but is quite ergonomic. It has ample recesses that allow for good comfort and considerable torque. It isn't a lightweight or consumer quality item, and is a good value when compared to other high end manufacturers. With regard to other reviews that assert problems with the magnetic tip, those are unwarranted. The inclusion of a magnetic tip DOES NOT suggest that the bits themselves will be magnetized enough to hold a fastener. That can occasionally happen with some drivers, but... read full review »

“Neat tool”

I have had some pretty cheezy ratchet sets that allow you to change bits but this set is not like that. If nothing else, the magnetic feature keeps the bit in the tool. It is comfortably heavy so you know you have a tool in your hand. The ratcheting mechanism works well and is easy to change directions or lock. The bits stay locked in the carrying cartridge. I do not use the handle storing feature but I could see where this would be handy. I bought this to carry in my on the road tool bag for my Harley. You Gold Wing guys go ahead and laugh but the set comes with standard and metric bits so... read full review »

“Great Screwdriver”

I like this screwdriver, I just picked up at sears a few days ago, so far it has worked out great. The ratcheting mechanism seems very durable as is the handle. The only problem that i found was the screwdriver can be a little heavy with the bits inside. I would definatly recomend this screwdriver to anyone. Great for the price.

“Works well”

I like using this screwdriver. It does hold some bits in the handle and I like that they can't accidently fall out. However, accessing the bits isn't as easy as I'd like and you either have to remember what bits you put in there or cycle through all of them to find the one you want. I like the texture on the barrel since it allows me to use one hand.

“Ratchet screwdriver”

Great screwdriver. Easy on the wrists with the ratcheting feature. Even though screwdriver doesn't hold bits it's got the most variety bits with the Holder which which keeps you prepared for any situation.
