Sweet, I have one similar that I got on Amazon done fine ago..Gratalent I think..great video
Thanks mate. Yeah, they really are a great little option overall.
Another great video (I liked that handy pouch at the end too).
Thank you!
Thanks Fi, it's the best screwdriver solution I've found so far.
Nice and handy. Never seen the screwdriver option on a ratchet!
It's an ideal option, the in-line option coupled with the ratchet make it really useful.
That’s a nice little tool, and at a good price as well!
Like the little Böker Bit-Pen, might have to add that to my Heinnie list 🤣
Keep your eyes peeled (August 14th) for my thoughts on the Böker Bit Pen, 😉
@@SussexEDC ooooo looking forward to that one then!! 😁
I like the inline option on that ratchet, Useful 🛠👍😊
Yeah, it's definitely a great design and makes it more versatile.
That's a pretty cool tool and thanks very much for sharing. Take care and Cheers!
My pleasure. It's a great bit of kit for sure.
Those are nice! I have one similar to that! They work great 👍👍
Hi Mike, they definitely are a great option. Thanks for stopping by.
Also sold under the brand Sabrecut, with or without bits.
It's well worth it just as a basic EDC pocket driver, I bought it primarily for it's inline driver capability, the ratchet function is an added bonus. It's not what I'd use for working on an engine as you suggested, I have larger more heavy ratchets with sockets for that. But for odd EDC jobs and also roadside adjustment on a bike it's perfect, using Allen bits as well as driver bits for bike jobs.
As an inline driver it's way better than most of the Gucci designer EDC drivers like County Comm/Maratac, James Brand Cache River, CRKT Stash Driver (can't get enough torque or grip,), or the Lever Gear Bit Vault (serious quality issues and usage limitations).
Regarding a bit extender, the most common ones are around 50mm/2 inches so easily pocketable. If you carry this with one of those you actually go from 2 to 6 possible configurations:-
1/2: Flat ratchet and inline stubby as you showed
3: rachet with extender
4: extended inline
5. flat ratchet with bit in ratchet, and extender in end of handle, for more leverage/ torque
6: stubby inline with the extender in the ratchet socket, as an L shaped driver for more torque
Disadvantage is it's a bit heavy at 59g/2oz, the same as a Victorinox Spartan or Compact. Add a small extender and 2 bits and you're up to 88g or 3 oz, that's the same weight as a Victorinox Farmer and more than a Super Tinker.
If I want a lighter carry but without ratchet driver function, I carry the Wera 813 bit holder handle in my 5th pocket. It's about the size of a Bic lighter and only weighs 29g/1oz. Wera 50mm extender, & PH2 and slot bits add an ounce/30g. But if you leave out the extender and just add 2 x 50mm bits it's a bit lighter at 50g total, but you lose the stubby driver option. A 50mm double ended bit would be ideal for minimalism but most of them won't sit securely, I'm still looking for one where the hex shank goes all the way up to the bit itself, there's a DeWalt one like this but I haven't found it anywhere yet.
If you shop around you can get a Wera 813 driver handle for around a tenner including delivery (ebay). The quality and durability is about as good as it gets for such a small driver, far better than those designer pocket jewellery drivers which cost a lot more.
Both the Sealey and Wera drivers are great to carry with a pair of Knipex Cobra XS and a folding pocket knife such as Spyderco Urban/UKPK, and that setup beats the pants off a Leatherman Skeletool.
Some awesome advice and tips there mate.
I'm the same as you, sometimes this tool, a knife and the Knipex are enough. Add in a torch too and most bases are covered.
Hey Simon 👊
Great feedback, and I agree with most of what you said, buddy 👌
It would be great to see 👀 you do some videos on general EDC, Tools or 'How To' videos, like working on sections of your engine with the tools you mentioned etc, that would be cool - come on, give a go! 😉
Atb Gus 👍
I missed this one. I thought I had notifications on, I do now though. This looks like a very handy tool. Excellent video my friend.
Thanks buddy. It's a REALLY good tool.
Great video Ant. Nice idea. This is very much like the Topeak Ratchet. I have a video part -made and it will be out in a couple of weeks.
I'll look forward to seeing that.
Oh, neat. I recently bought something similar, but non-ratchet, it's basically an L shaped driver with bit holders at either end. I might pick one of these up too, a small ratchet would come in handy.
I considered something like that too. Victorinox make a good one with a bit holder. This ratchet makes a good option for sure.
Nice size on that one. I've never seen that Boker pen bit driver either. Both look cool. Thanks for showing them!
Thanks my friend. Keep your eyes peeled for more details on that Böker Bit Pen (Aug 14th, 😉).
@@SussexEDC Looking forward to it!
This is actually really cool, never seen such a ratchet! 👍🏼
It's a perfect pocket sized option. It would be fiddly to restore though 😉
I've been using mines for over six months, bought it from the brand Ares Tool.
It's by far my favorite bit driver ever, because it allows me to use Wiha dual sided bits on the ratchet end, and regular bits on the other side, also as you mentioned with an extension, it gives extra reach on either sides or more leverage for the ratchet too!
Awesome, glad you've found it as useful as I have. It definitely one of the most discreet and functional solutions for an EDC screwdriver I've found so far.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I hope to see you back on some other content I post soon.
@@SussexEDC sure thing mate!
I am in editing phase of some of my content as well. Hopefully soon I will start to upload, would be a pleasure to have you watching and see your feedback on mines too!
@@EDC_Dani For sure!!! Just shout if I can help in any way.
Brother Sussex 💪
I really enjoyed that, my friend 👌
I'm not often surprised by a 'new' product, great design, and IMO especially useful for EDC - I'm getting one! 😉
Being a carpenter most of my life, then trained to get my City & Guilds level 2 in Electrics & Plumbing + all the secondary skills I acquired over the years from other craftsman, like tiling, brickwork, decorating, plastering and there's more... 😁
I could literally build a house 🏠 by myself from the footings to the roof.
My point is that I had hundreds of tools 🔧 and never seen this one, so a nice surprise!
Since I've been teaching building crafts for 5 years, and not so much 'on the tools' - you lose touch of up & coming stuff, so I just wanted to say thank you, Ant 🍻
Stay awesome,
Atb Gus 👍
Glad to share it with you my friend. They're a useful little item and the best solution I've found so far for the size, price and weight.
See you again soon.
I've got a little ratchet like this 1/4 from autozone but it's extremely limited on Philips style screw heads because they are designed to push you out if you aren't putting down enough force to prevent stripping of the lobs so even if you do it multiple times it doesn't really matter more like a warning you still gnarl the lobs. You need to put allot of down force to get something stubborn.
Thanks for the comment. I'd like to try other brands and styles of this as it's such a good option.
I have one of those little ratchet drivers. They are really nice. Mine is used as part of a pocketable tool kit that I use at work.
Sounds great and good to hear someone else carries one daily.
i think i'll add one of these to my car kit!
It'd make a great addition.
Nice! Looks like you need a new pair of jeans though. Where did you get it ?
Lol, yeah you might be right.
Think I got this on Amazon UK.
That ratchet sounds like it needs some grease.
Thanks for the heads up 🤟🏻
3.3 inches is not nothing just saying
That's what she said 🤣
