Need a good ratcheting driver for diy automotive repair. Where numerous small turns are better than trying to reposition your hand or the tool. Automotive repair is where you're likely to encounter awkward positions or lack of space constantly.

I feel like I tend to rely on small traditional style 1/4 square and hex drive ratchets for small fasteners in engine compartments or changing out the cabin air filter.

I have this specific one (Klein 32558 & the stubby 32593 - both very good but actually prefer some of my others) as well as Klein 32305, Lenox, Megapro, Vessel, Anex and Kobalt Double Drive .... thanks for the video

Kobalt makes great tools for the price. Hope it works well for you

I guess I feel the same way. For home use and even working out of my truck, I have an M12 impact driver and dedicated screwdrivers, so I never felt the need for a ratcheting driver.

They have a niche place and I just prefer the same methods you use over it

I know this is off subject, but will you make an Elmax metal analysis video or a CP3V video? Please!!!

I run PB Swiss magazine ratcheting drivers , saves me from carrying a metric tonne of handles ! I declared war on unneeded handles back in the eighties !

Putting up a valiant fight with that PB Swiss for sure! I did get the Wera ratcheting screwdriver to give it one more chance but it’s just so rare that I use it and I prefer my standard drivers so much more. I have all the handles!

@@EngineersPerspective701 with the variety of screw types I have to waltz with ( Torox, security types , Robertson , Posidrive , Phillips etc etc ), I would have to carry a bail of dedicated drivers . If you work off a bench , cool , if you work in the field , not Cool !

Do you havw an opinion on the Wera speed ratchet? I've been looking at that as an alternative to a standard ratcheting driver because you can adjust the angle of the head many different ways. I'm only planning on EDCing one driver so I've been debating what to pick up.

All I know about it is from the “Last Best Tool” video I watched awhile ago. Seems like a nifty ratchet and classic Wera quality but idk if I would choose for any edc role. Maybe something more like the Wiha mini rather set with the makita 1/4” impact sockets or a Leatherman with bit kit?

@@EngineersPerspective701 I had been looking at the mini wera ratchet but was wondering of the speed ratchet would be more versatile because it can be used in line like a typical driver.

@@benkelsey891 Definitely could be a solid solution and beefy enough to really get after tasks. Another thought would be the mini ratchet and a small Wera rapidapter screw driver but then it’s two tools vs one

I'm seriously thinking about getting a really small impact driver, but unsure which brand is best, have you already done a comparison video on these, ?? (can't find it, if you have,, ) At the moment I'm fully set up with Makita 18v,, , but I fancy a compact impact driver,, have you a favourite, ??

Honestly for small 12v impacts I’ve only tried this Milwaukee. What I will say is that this thing can just about always get the job done but it never feels anything like an 18V impact. Which isn’t surprising or anything but just wanted to say. Honestly I think the best value and capability is the DeWalt 12V max Extreme Impact. Kits with charger and 2 batteries can be had for $150 and even less for smaller kits. The tool is ultra compact and handy while having similar power to the Milwaukee. That said I think the DeWalt extreme, Milwaukee M12 fuel and Bosch 12V like are all proven.

usually I'd make some informed comment. not this time... if I can't get it by hand, it goes straight to a 2000ft/lb Milwaukee impact. no in-between lol

Klein makes one that holds the bits in the handle with a thinner shank. Your model is ancient.

I have that one now too. Like it more than this one but still not my jam

Can't stand ratcheting screwdrivers! All I want to do is screw or unscrew a few turns and I constantly have to adjust the screwdriver switch back and forth. The switch is always in the wrong position. Then the stupid ratchet gives out if you try to torque very much. I use a solid driver with a magnetic tip that can use multiple bits. Don't have time to play with stupid tools.

I like it for when I do subterranean plumbing work, in garages and whatnot. We do lots of unistrut and tightening bolts to the ceiling or wall is great with this

You “Think it’s the 9 in 1”. You don’t seem very sure it’s called the 9 in 1. Use the phone in your hip pocket to google what you are REPORTING your opinion on. You could even do it on the fly, while doing the video and not worry about the hassle of a do-over.
