Amazon Basics 12 Piece in-1 Magnetic Ratchet Screwdriver

Surprised just how good this was for a bargain buy. I've had a Stanley ratchet screwdriver for 20 years and a Snap-on for about 30 years but having recently misplaced both of those, needed something to get me out of trouble so bought this for about £8 - worth every penny and hasn't failed to undo/do up whatever i've asked of it so far. Bad points are the ratchet isn't as smooth as the other two and it has much fewer teeth in the ratchet needing a laarger arc before the next tooth is engaged but i can live with that for the price. Again someething i can live with is the relatively cheap feel but that said, i think that's just the finish because it feels well made. Conclusion - definitely a good buy for the money.

I've certainly put mine through its paces, working in IT. I've installed whole server cabinets, racks and rails using it. And even used it for a bit of home DIY too. Quality for the price is exceptional. The bits are stored in the head so are quick to grab.

would like for it to include more bits and maybe be able to shorten the shaft a little but other then that works really well and is built well too

How can you be so impressed with a screwdriver 😂 I really really like this, it’s well made, the bits are really handy and the ratchet is really good It’s also an awesome price too!!

Like others, I’d been pondering over whether to buy a very-well made screwdriver recently produced by a well-known tech YouTube channel but at nearly £100 once delivery and customs duty were factored in, it was something I couldn’t justify. So I looked at other brands and decided that, for my own needs, something fairly basic would probably do the job. Is the Amazon Basics screwdriver the best on the market? No. It’s shaft has a fair bit of wobble and the ratchet mechanism isn’t perfect. But at under £10 it’s an absolute steal. I own a decent collection of tools and I’ll happily take ones which do 90% as good a job at 10% of the price, all day long. The push-button bit storage in the handle is convenient, it’s nicely weighted and grippy, and the knurling on the shaft is excellent. This screwdriver will do most jobs with ease. It’s perhaps less-suited to small, intricate jobs although it’ll still do them just fine. The magnets aren’t the greatest but I haven’t lost a screw or a bit yet. So if, like me, you want a ratcheting screwdriver but can’t justify the expense of some of the branded products, I’d highly recommend giving this a go, especially if it’s something you’ll only use a few times per month or less. For the price, it’s probably the best value item in my toolbox.

This is a great and sturdy ratchet screwdriver. At less than £10, it's certainly value for money. The ratcheting mechanism punches way above its weight - competing with products ten times its price. It also comes with a convenient bit holder. The bits themselves are okay, nothing special in terms of quality, but not as bad as most other products in the same price range. Since the screwdriver takes standard 1/4" hex bits, you can always buy external bits. In the video, you can see me inserting a 25mm Bosch Impact Control Insert Bit. The locking mechanism is magnetic, and it works very well. The bits themselves weren't magnetized, or at least they weren't magnetized enough to attract screws. However, that's nothing that a magnetizer like the one from Klein Tools in my video can't solve.

Does the job But it does have a shap piece on the shaft, the top where you put the screw in at the bottom of it. It has pierced the right hand 2 cuts

Good packaging. Item is brand new and in complete set. Serve its purpose and easy to use.

This screwdriver is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Craftsman one (the one that comes with a carry bag and more tips). The build feel a lot more sturdy, the magnetic tips is a great bonus and the ratchet is ok. Not the best compared to something like the LTT screwdriver but that one costs 10x more. The is a bit a wiggle at the ratchet but nothing I would consider a dealbreaker. Honestly, I don't think it's possible to beat at this price. If you don't need to use a screwdriver, I would definitely recommend this one over all the other budget option out there.

Excellent product found .No replacement is needed.

Comes with mutliple heads. Love the compact size and hence, the portability.

The pop-up compartment is convinient and fun to use

Great screwdriver, very handy for computer assembly and more. No need to buy overpriced branded ones, get this.
