Bahco808050L Ratchet Screwdriver and Bits with LED Lights

Did a fair bit of research into what screwdrivers are best. I took a punt on this and am so glad I did. Other screwdrivers with comparable performance were twice the price.The only downside is the bit storage in the handle is a bit stiff. It doesn't come out smoothly. But again, this is a £20 ratcheting screwdriver that is actually worth buying. They've got to cut down costs, and the handle and bit storage is the best place to do this.A little shaft wobble, but not much at all, seemed comparable to much more expensive screwdrivers. Strong magnet, easy ratcheting, not heavy and a slim profile allowing you to get into hard to reach areas. This is all you really need to know about a screwdriver.Well, that and durability. Other screwdrivers around this price range had poor reviews related to their ratcheting, apparently it would just stop working. Haven't seen such criticisms for this one.Honestly, at this price I can't imagine you getting anything better. They didn't cheap out on the magnet, the shaft seems quality.It is definitely not a premium screwdriver, if you want a fancy handle, better bit storage or better build quality where the shaft meets the handle, be prepared to pay between £50 and over £100 to get something that feels more premium and may have better build quality.

Great Bahco quality with just the bits you need for most jobs, what makes this driver exceptional is the light, which is bright and totally useful for darker areas, why its not seen on other drivers is beyond me?The overall quality is good and the handle is very ergonomic and has an excellect grip. The bits are removable from the handle by pushing a recessed little button which so far hasn't been pressed by accident while using it. There are six bits, 2 slotted, 2 Pozi & 2 Phillips which covers most tasks. The head is magnetic but quite weak and the shaft has a small knurled collar for aiding grip with awkward screws. The light is activated by pushing a small orgnge button on the top of the handle and its bright and more than adequete for its purpose. There's a little play in the driver when in the fixed postion but is this is the case with all drivers and not really noticable. It has a 48 tooth ratchet system and this is higher than most competing drivers at this price range. The mechanism is precise and tight.Would definetly recommed. Bahco quality and should last years.

I'm a decorator. I need a ratcheting driver for many things: hinges, door handles, shelves, brackets, the list goes on.My old cheapo one was begging for the sweet release of the bin, mainly due to being abused daily for 5 years. So, I figured I'd upgrade the replacement.Oh boy, this thing is a delight. Genuine happiness each time I use it.The ratchet mechanism is solid, smooth and gives a reassurance that your twisting wrist energy is being transferred smoothly and efficiently.The magnet at the business end is surprisingly strong. I've managed to hold 4 screws on it, and continue to unscrew without them budging. Handy for those little fiddly screws.The best bit- The storage. So clever! Sure, it only holds 6 bits. But truly, how many does one need on a day to day basis? For me it's 4. So this is perfect. The push button and sprung release is brilliant too. Very user friendly, and the least "faffy" storage I've used. No messing with screwtops, or having to poke bits out of slots.The bits themselves are great quality. Even after letting a friend use it to remove worktop brackets that were corroded, the tips showed no damage. Wrecked a few screws though!Length. This is the only point that I'm a little less enthused about. I do like a slightly shorter tool usually- just prefer it in my hand and in the pocket/toolbelt. But. It is very handy having an extra inch clearance, makes those tight squeeze screws a little more accessible.For a daily driver that has such a nice finish and quality, you'd be hard pressed to beat it.

I have a rachet screwdriver already but I was tired of looking for it in my tool bag and wanted a spare for my kitchen drawer. If you're reading this, you know the attraction is the flexibility of these tools -- one screwdriver for every job. I bought this tool for less than £20 and it's a bargain at that price. The normal retail price is higher, with a lot more competition.The tool is well made, with a really nice, rubbery, textured, grippy handle. The bit holder (shaft) is a bit longer than normal, which is useful for those hard-to-reach places. The rachet mechanism (middle bit) is metal (not plastic) and relatively easy to turn. The bit holder is inside the handle. I like it. My other tool has the usual spring-loaded compartment that pops out but this one literally pops out -- the whole bit holder is detached. I didn't like the sound of that but it's actually a good idea since it makes extracting bits must easier. It fits well into the end of the handle. The magnet at the end of bit holder is strong. I've no idea why some people claim it's not. It's noticeably stronger than my other tool. The rachet itself is nice and light. Tight ratchets aren't good (they turn the screw when they shouldn't) and this one is less tight than my other tool.I have two minor criticisms. The bit holder is not detachable. So the handle and shaft are one piece, making the tool less easy to store. This should mean that there is less wobble in the tool but it still wobbles (albeit less than similar tools with detachable shafts). This comes down to engineering. You get what you pay for.Overall a really nice, useful tool.

Tycker den är bra till datorbyggen ock att bitsen alltid är i skaftet.

Molto versatile con ogni tipo di utensile-inserto; trovandoti a serrare o svitare bulloncini o viti, una volta inserito l'inserto negli alloggiamenti puoi procedere a ciclo continuo senza dover imbroccare ogni volta e alla cieca le sedi. Si risparmia tempo e pazienza. Costa un po' ma ne vale la pena.

Ligger rätt i handen. Trevligt med led som belyser i mörka utrymmen. En klar favorit!

I like it so much I have one for the house and one in the car. I give them as gifts and everyone raves about it.Get and you will be happy you did.

purchased this for my company for workers that have to do a lot of fastening in restricted confined areas of the units we build. the versatile nature of the design makes for comfortable ratcheting and was the primary reason we purchased these to prevent future MSI injuries in our work place. so far all employees that have presented with one have reported that their hands and wrists feel 100% better and far less strained than previously, i would strongly recommend this product to other manufacturers who have fatigued employees from constant fastening with screw drivers.
