I picked up a Kobalt from Lowes. that has the changing angles you were talking
about. There are 2 different models, you'll have to look at them to see which
one works best for you.

Does anyone know a good handle out there I can get for my screw driver bits?
I have a ton of those and my good ratcheting handle walked off in my
brother's pocket. My brother is no longer welcome in my home much because of
general untrustworthyness stemming from drug use and bad choices, so I feel
pretty confident in searching for a new one to buy.
This handle had a ratcheting and locking piece, and you could change the
direction of the ratcheting with a switch. The only thing it didn't do was
bend, or fold sideways and I figure they have those.
I got this handle in a socket and wrench set, it was a package deal, probably
by craftsman
The screw driver bits are probably six sided ends which fit into the
screwdriver handle. I think that's pretty standard. I had another handle, but
it's not ratcheting.
Just figured someone might have a suggestion which would save me the
frustration of buying that which I can't see under the plastic.
Thanks,
Matt

I just counted my screw drivers. I have 57 of them. I must have lost one
or two of them, I thought I had more.

Cliff,
I need more screw drivers as I can never seem to find the one particular
driver I need at any given time.
Your story gives me the heeby geebies. The only thing I find more
horrifying than the ignorance in the sighted community about what a blind
person can do, is the ignorance in the blind community about what a blind
person can do. If other blind people can't imagine a blind person doing
this or that, then how can we possibly get the sighted community to
believe it.
Incredibly sad story.
