Hi Lenny; I finally opened the ratcheting screwdriver set up today. The screwddriver has a nice size comfortable rubber handle that is approximately 4 / 5 inches long. That handle also pivots and locks. You can use it as a straight handle, or at 45º, & 90º angles. It also comes with a little ¼ inch drive ratchet that is about 4 inches long, ¾ inches wide, and ¼ inches thick. The ratchet will accept either the screwdriver / torx bits or the ¼ inch drive sockets. The screwdriver, as near as I can figure at this time, will only accept the screwdriver / torx bits. I haven't found a way to remove the female screwdriver /torx bit holder to have access to snap on the ¼ inch drive sockets. Overall it seems like a nice set for doing light duty work. Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike, It's tax time! Remember folks, if you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S ".

The question that I have is it too small to really use. Not too long ago I gave away a set similar. The ratcheting screw driver handle was too small. I have small hands and could not really use it. If I tried to grip every turn would end up reversing the ratcheting direction. The handle that you had to hold was only about two inches long and I could not get a grip on that. Just wondering if the s&w one is better designed. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.
