Mastercaft ergonomic ratchet driver

It works well, and does ratchet but I find it not as smooth as another one i have at home. It has a good grip and doesn't require much effort to use. It would be nice if it came with bits! It is great for little jobs here and there and the ratchet part works as it should

Needs Work

Thanks to Butterly for providing this opportunity and Screwdriver, free of charge.

I was eager to get started, so I put it to task as soon as it was delivered.

It is a stubby driver, with no shaft at all really. This would limit my uses for it in the long run.

The handle is big in the hand, provides a molded grip and seems of sturdy construction.

There is a Magnet in the tip but it is very weak.
I tried to pick up small and light metal objects and it would not take hold.
It seems it is only intended to keep the bit in the tip of the driver.

The plastic ring that you use to change directions on the ratchet is very small and I found it hard to use.
It also seems to be placed randomly, as it does not seem to align with any sort of markings on the handle.

However the ratcheting action seems sturdy in both directions and in its center position, which locks it in place.

Unfortunately, the more I used the ratcheting action, the looser the mechanism became.
The shaft is now loose, makes a creaky noise and is wobbly in all directions.
The shaft and the ratcheting part, which rotate as part of it design, also seems to be coming out of the handle the more I use it.

I cannot speak to whether it came from a bad batch or was somehow damaged in transit.

But, it saddens me to say; considering its current state. I could not recommend this product.
