The outcome of a precision driver and ratching driver mating
In size and functionality this is a precision driver with a 1/4" bit (instead of some precision drivers have 4mm). Pop open the "lollipop" though, and you can torque a fastener closed (or open) more powerfully than a full size screwdriver, about as powerfully as a mini-ratchet.This driver doesn't have ratcheting functionality, but ratcheting functionality really only works the last turn of a fastener when there is enough friction to engage the ratchets. Otherwise you need one hand on the barrel on the back turn to engage the ratchet teeth, and you don't always have 2 hands to drive a fastener. On this driver you can just put your palm up against the "lollipop" and spin the shaft frictionless-ly to drive the fastener down all the way, and then you only really need to torque the last 1/2 - 1 turn with the extended lollipop, where if it had a ratchet that would be super slick but that last bit is easy enough to do without the ratchet.This isn't a driver to drive long screws into material (e.g - wood screws, but who does that manually anyway?) - its for machine screws or small bolts with smooth threads, even if they need to be torqued a decent amount. Its perfect for 8020, electrical, etc.Honestly - its expensive as hell, but top quality and amazingly satisfying to use. Comes with a different bit than I have pictured.
