Bahco808050TS Stubby Ratchet Screwdriver T Handle, Grey/Silver/Black, 1/4-Inch

I bought this almost 5 years ago. I use it as my main screwdriver around the house with the included bits and also with extra bits for hex, torx, etc. It is wonderfully made with a comfortable handle, long shaft and a robust ratchet. The ratchet selector is not the nicest nor is the button to eject the bit holder. This is what you get for the money. However, the quality of the ratchet itself is superb and I don't think you can buy a better ratchet screwdriver before it gets more than twice as expensive. Absolutely recommended for hobbyist DIY and to have a screwdriver around the house. A single one that can do it all.

Had one of these for year, but, as happens, it disappeared during one job, never to reappear. It's somewhere in the damn house, we're sure of that, but it's eluding us. So after hearing my other half complaining yet again about how nothing was as good as "the Swede", as we called it, I bought him another. Just as good as its predecessor, no flexing or wobblyness. The handle case of alternative heads is useful, and takes a bit of practice to get back in smoothly, but once you've cracked it, it's effortless. Our standard, go-to tool every time.

Used this everyday until I lost it. Quality durable piece of kit.

Excellent ratchet screwdriver for around the house especially when paired with extra driver bits.

Useful to have in the DIY kit. Setting seems slightly illogical.

I have a few Bahco handtools and have never been let down by them, i believe Bahco although Swedish in origin are actually owned by Snap On so thats a good pedigree for tools.I wanted a Screwdriver that had a bit compartment built in and ideally a ratchet, so with good reviews and being a Bahco Screwdriver i picked this up.The Good* The screwdriver feels well made the moment you pick it up, the shaft is quite thick compared to a few of the ratchet screwdrivers i looked at or have used in the past, the handle has a nice firm rubberised grip, the top of the grip has a two sided push and slide release for the bit compartment.* I found the bit holder to be just on the right side of tough to release, i wouldnt one that is going to slip out unnecessarily and this feels like its securely fitted.* The bits all appear to be decent quality, ive tried the PH1 and PZ2 so far, no issues.* The ratchet itself has been sound enough in the uses ive had from it thus far, its a reassuring click, there does feel like some play in the action but i think youll find that in most ratchet actions, were the play overly slack i would definitely notice, it doesnt feel like it in this case.* The shaft is a longer length so potentially having a stubby as well might be a good idea, i find using a stubby quickly gives me hand fatigue on jobs so ill probably pick up the equivalent too in a short while.* The bits sit securely in the shaft holder, i havent had any drop outs so far, when you either eventually wear the bits out or more likely lose one on the garage floor they are a standard fitment so you can top up the bit holder insert with replacements no problem.* Ive only had this for a week or so so its not had a lot of use but it feels durable, the action is robust, the shaft compartment doesnt make me worry it will drop out anytime soon.The Could Be Better* The only small room for improvement i would say is the proximity of the bits to each other in the tray. I have a couple of times found myself struggling to get my fat sausage like fingertips inbetween them to leverage one out. That said when i think about it i also struggle to get my fat fingertips probably inserted into a bit tray i have for a Teng Ratchet set so i probably need to lose some weight!Overall i would definitely recommend this, excellent size, comfortable in hand, replaces the need for multiple screwdrivers and so far it appears to be built to last. Buy one and the stubby too and youll never end up searching the house for the right screwdriver again!Five Stars.

Bought this originally as a “that could be useful at times” tool, but soon became my favourite screwdriver. Comes with only six bits (2x slot, 2x Pozi, and 2x Philips) but that covers most jobs and I have a lot of other hex bits anyway. It has a very fine ratchet which makes it easy to use one-handed and a comfortable handle. A bit more expensive than other makes but worth it as its top quality.

I’ve always used cheaper/more generic screwdrivers for basically everything I have done my whole life. They have been okay, but they usually don’t last and of course have the risk of stripping screws etc, so when looking to get a new one I decided on a more expensive one like this. Even after the first use I can tell this will most probably last me for a very long time, and it performs miles better than other I’ve used.Feature-wise, this screwdriver has quite a lot going for it, including six different screwdriver heads which are interchangeable and connect magnetically. The screwdriver heads include Phillips 1 & 2, PZ1-PZ2, and 4.5 and 5.5 slotted. These are some of the most commonly used screwdriver heads; so, you’ll be able to use this screwdriver for a ton of jobs. Conveniently the heads are stored at the bottom of the handle which you can open by pressing two buttons on either side of the handle. They also feel very high quality being made of a tough metal, and they’re magnetic so it’s unlikely you’ll strip a screw, and being magnetized means it’s very to place screws and not drop them. In addition, the screwdriver has a comfortable handle, it’s long enough for most jobs, and just heavy enough.The ratcheting feature is probably the main selling point of this item and it has worked flawlessly for me. The ratcheting features can be used in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions and definitely makes working with screws a much quicker job. The clicking when using this feels sturdy and accurate. The screwdriver can also be locked to not use this feature if you need.No complaints here, this is a great screwdriver that I’d highly recommend to anyone.
