Megapro211R1C36RD 1" 13-In-1 Ratcheting Automotive Driver Bits in Red

Excellent screwdriver! After trying several, this is the best. There's very little play in the construction. The ratcheting mechanism is tight and snappy. The handle feels nice. The bit storage is excellent and easy to access. The end also spins freely for situations were that might be useful. I much prefer a solid shaft like this over those other ones that extend or retract (less moving parts to break).The BEST part of this screwdriver is that it uses standard bits you already have lying around, and it has a super strong magnet to lock bits in place (as well as some fasteners). I cannot tolerate screwdrivers with double-end bits or small bits. I need my screwdriver to take all my bits for those odd jobs.The Linus Tech Tips screwdriver is basically a clone of this (they admit this on their site), but with some tweaks. Why pay $70 when you can pay less than half that for a Megapro? Plus, this takes standard bits instead of Linus' smaller bits. It's no contest.

I got this screwdriver in 2021. About four years later it still performs like the first day. I bought it to replace a Lutz, that started developing cracks in the handle after, I don't know, 20 years?) and chose this one because it uses standard bits, for which it's easy and cheap to find replacements, although, I haven't had to.It's a bit longer than the Lutz, which took a bit of getting used to, but it's comfortable to use and the ratcheting mechanism is solid. The bits are good quality, the magnet is strong, and replacing bits is very very easy - the storage compartment opens easily, yet it closes securely.Oh, and kudos to amazon, for selling their own rip-off of this most excellent driver. Nothing like competing with the very sellers that made you one of the most powerful companies in history.

I happily replaced my other ratcheting and non-ratcheting screwdriver with this one. I appreciate that the ratcheting mechanism works well (one of my old ones slips) and it's easy to switch directions on the ratcheting mechanism. I do wish it were a little bit easier to lock it so that it doesn't ratchet at all; you can, but you have to turn the dial into a narrow spot in between ratcheting one direction or the other.I also really like the storage inside the handle and the fact that it uses standard size bits, so I can just use bits that I have laying around.

Screwdrivers are a personal choice, but I have three of these and I think they are the best - they work with standard 1" bits, the ratchet is good, and there are enough bits in the handle to do almost any job. I have Wera and Wiha drivers as well but they don't match the features and certainly not the price point.With all these bits in the handle, the handle is big and a little heavy. But you get used to it, and a bigger handle means more torque with your grip.This is not a "demolition screwdriver". I have never really put a lot of force on the ratchet. It will drive screws into wood all day, but if I were forcing a rusted screw, I would reach for something heavy-duty (or an impact driver).For smaller use, I recommend the Hota, which is also excellent.

Extremely well made! Everything about this ratcheting screwdriver is amazing. The ergonomic handle, the ratcheting mechanism is so tight and crisp, the shaft and the bits are magnetic so you won’t drop those screws!I’m in the Autobody industry and I use this everyday. It’s been holding up very well. It’s definitely a tool I keep in my pocket all day. No need to buy an entire screwdriver set. And if you need it to be longer, just buy extensions!My coworker who has a snap-on one ( we all know how overpriced those are) and even he says it feels just as good as his. Msybr even better.It has all the most used bits. And even the bit holder spins.

I recently purchased the MegaPro ratcheting screwdriver and have been putting it to the test for various projects around my home. As someone who frequently engages in DIY projects and repairs, I value tools that are versatile, reliable, and built to last. After spending some quality time with this screwdriver, I'm pleased to share my thoughts on its performance.First and foremost, the MegaPro impressed me with its exceptional build quality. The handle feels solid and well-designed, providing a comfortable grip during extended use. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth and allows for effortless switching between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, saving me valuable time and energy. This feature alone makes it a versatile tool suitable for a wide range of applications.The inclusion of a convenient and practical storage compartment within the handle is a clever addition. This built-in bit storage ensures that the necessary bits are always close at hand, reducing the risk of misplacing them during projects. Moreover, the magnetic tip securely holds the bits in place, preventing frustrating instances of slippage that can damage screws or delay progress.One aspect that could be improved is the selection of included bits. While the MegaPro comes with a decent assortment, I found that there were a few specialized bits missing that I needed for certain tasks. However, this is a minor issue as additional bits can easily be purchased separately to expand the tool's versatility.Another feature missing here is texturing on the screwdriver's shaft. It would be way more convenient to finer screwing just rotating the shaft with my fingers.Another feature worth mentioning is the screwdriver's overall durability. It has withstood rigorous use without showing any signs of wear or deterioration. This reassures me that the MegaPro is an investment that will last for years to come, even with frequent use and demanding projects.The screwdriver falls just short of a perfect rating due to its price point. While I appreciate the high-quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, the cost may be a deterrent for some buyers. However, if you're willing to invest in a dependable and long-lasting tool, the MegaPro is certainly a worthwhile choice.In conclusion, this MegaPro screwdriver is a reliable and efficient tool that has become an indispensable part of my toolbox. Its sturdy build, smooth ratcheting action, and integrated storage make it a pleasure to use. Although the selection of included bits could be more comprehensive and the price may be a bit steep, its durability and overall performance make it a worthy investment for any avid DIY enthusiast or professional alike.
