WRS-1 Magnetic Ratcheting Screwdriver,9-inch

A great product.

Got this as a replacement for a cheap hand tool that came with a bit set. I like the hand grip at the top, the click when it ratchets is reassuringly solid and I can get a good grip, allowing me to really drive a screw in or feel the tightness on the tool to confirm it's tight enough without over tightening. Have used this a bunch on a few different repairs over the last couple of months and it's become my favourite tool, better than many of the standard screwdrivers I own. It's not cheap, but worth the price if you want a quality tool.

Williams Tool Company was purchased by Snap On a few years ago and are used as a budget brand to capture some extra market share that their full price tools can't reach. This particular screwdriver is an absolute bargain because it is actually a genuine Snap On design that has since been replaced with a new model in the Snap On Range. You get Snap On design and Quality at 30% of the original price. So I bought two! Sadly not much of the rest of their range is Snap On standards.

Haven't owned a T-handle screwdriver before so was a bit unsure how it would feel, but it's really nice to use. The "back drag" (how much force is needed for the ratchet to slip) is really low and a revelation. The ring to set the direction of the ratchet locks nicely in place. The magnetic head is strong enough to hold a screw but in most circumstances not so strong as to make it difficult to get the bit in the screw.

I bought this tool to replace one which disappeared in transit from one institution to another: ( these people are supposed to be a responsible authority! ). The quality is good, for use with 1/4” hex. bits, with a long reach/shaft; c.w./anti c.w. & lock, good tool.

Comfy handle, nice long shaft. Shaft is well machined, the ratcheting system is buttery smooth - really nice. As a nice touch, the screwdriver bit has laser etched grooves to grab screws. This is a bargain! I’m really pleased

I do love a decent quality tool. I was bought this as a present for my birthday and I love it. It feels every bit as good as snap on (I think made in the same factory so likely same mechanism) Good ratchet mechanism and well made. I guess the only slight negative is the end cap can unscrew when taking a screw out but other than that, brilliant tool.

I own a Snap On ratchet screwdriver which is brilliant, this T handled Williams allows me to use more torque- it is a bargain Snap On in my view !

Para mí taller es una gran herramienta

Great value, high quality product. Very happy with the price and the product.

Uma catraca de qualidade impressionante, digna da Snap-On, fabricada nos Estados Unidos. Bastante robusta, cabo com um plástico super resistente, um back drag baixíssimo, haste de aço inoxidável e acompanha um bit PH2 da Snap-On. Essa me surpreendeu, gostei mais dessa do que a 416 RA da Wera. E por um preço super acessível quando comparada aos produtos da Snap-On. A Amazon Brasil poderia trazer os outros tamanhos de hastes e a chave catraca com porta-bits da Williams modelo JHWWRS-1.

I bought this screwdriver after looking at Project Farm review (including LTT's new screwdriver) wasn't disappointed and does what I need it to do. Feels really great. Williams and Snap On are from the same parent company and from what I heard, this is made in the same factory as Snap On just for the average consumer which is great for me.

Good quality ratcheting screwdriver made better with a few additions and tweaks. I have a few ratcheting screwdrivers. My goto is a Klein 13-1 because I really like handle ergos and rubber grip. I have a megapro but rarely use it because its a little bulkier/longer and how the handle tapers wasnt really doing it for me in terms of ergos. Things i like about the williams: love the ergos, fits in my hand nicely. Like the smooth ratcheting mechanism. LOVE that it's the same snap-on tool that's probably made in the same factory, but for half the cost. Love that its easily serviceable by just taking off the lock spring. Things i didnt care for: my model came with a large gap between the collar and the handle. some pics i've seen have it sit flush. some i've seen have a big gap. It's the same with the snap-on models too, so it's not just williams. No big deal tho, still functional. the bit storage is also lacking. there was a bit of back and forth play in the shaft as well. things i did to make it better for me: took the ratcheting mechanism apart, added some more oil and grease so it's REAL smooth and light to rotate (Really love that i can service these). While i had it apart, i 3D printed a black ring to fill the unsightly gap - i know i know - its just a tool and still functional, but my OCD kicked in and figured to just fill it for my personal aesthetics. While i had the mechanism apart, i readjusted the shaft lock washer so there's minimal back and forward play in the shaft. It's pretty tight and rock solid now. Lastly, i 3D printed a bit holder from a remix of John Zanussi's Williams bit holder found on the internetz. These tweaks IMO really complete the screwdriver! I really like it now and find myself fidgeting with it, just randomly taking stuff apart around the house LOL. All in all, great quality screwdriver with a few mods in mind!
