ANEX Ratcheting Low Profile Offset Screwdriver Upward 9 bits set

Love these tools.have them in all my boxes and carry on all my motorcycles

Have all three best!

There are places in auto repairs where this type of wrench is almost the only option. While tools made in Japan are generally reliable, the ratchet mechanism on this one is not great. It tends to jump teeth on the main gear, though it has improved with some wearing in.

I tried a whole bunch of small ratchets. This one is the best by far. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.Compared to others: see that little pinion on it? Well, you can turn that with your thumb and forefinger until the fastener is tight enough to actually use the ratchet. As you know, ratchets are useless until there's some resistance. Every other product requires either a full turn, or to use your other hand to keep the fastener from turning back-and-forth... which is often impossible in tight places. And the whole point of those tools is to allow you to work in tight places! Also, the forward/reverse mechanism is sturdy and doesn't flip back accidentally; other products have either a flimsy switch that flips easily, or a rocker that's right under your fingers - which causes you to flip it accidentally all the time... super annoying.My projects require a lot of screwing/unscrewing in very tight places, so having one of those is a must.I have three of those, and another Anex which is flat. I have several socket sizes I normally work with, so I keep my four Anex tools loaded with different Allen keys for convenience.I've been using my first one for over three years. Impeccable quality, still no issues after all that time. And I'm applying a ton of force sometimes... for its small size it's built like a tank.Lastly... it's built in Japan, and the quality shows.

I first bought the Sears Craftsman version of this: they give you 1 for $10, or 3 for $22 with different angles on the bars. Two problems with those: (a) the magnet is useless, and the bit falls out with the slightest knock, which is why there's a Torx bit lying somewhere within my car engine, (b) the vinyl pad would slip off the bar. So much for the vaunted Made-in-USA label. (Craftsman recently debuted the Z-driver, $14 regular, much better magnet but no ratchet).This product has neither of those problems. No pads to slip off. Build feels solid, heavy, well finished with beveled edges. The ratchet feels smooth. The rivets are all the way in, not half-set as they appear in the product photo. Yet it's a little skinnier and may fit into tighter spaces. The magnet is ok, I'd be happier if it were a tad stronger.Stamped "Made in Japan," shipped from Japan, takes a couple of weeks, but the shipping/delivery ETA is accurate. Note to Amazon: not clear why "China" appears in some versions of the product description (screen capture attached).

It is practical & comfortable. If a handle extension of about 4" offered along with the wrench, make it lot easier to use in the tight spaces where a person hand can not easily get in for better maneuver.

You might use it once in a lifetime, but this thing works and saves a lot of time, and the need for new and better swear words.. Works really good

Good size, worked well for tight space.
