VESSEL - BALL GRIP Ratchet Interchangeable Screwdriver 2200MBH120

This is a different take on the ratcheting screwdriver. It's got a ball-hold, that fits in your palm. Seems made for reaching and more precise tasks. You can hold it still in your palm, and control the screwing with your fingers, the twist the hold thing to finish the job. It has a long, thin shaft. The yellow collar stiffly twists to control direction. Opposite twist of that to your desired direction. Hard to activate by accident, and a little hard to active intentionally also. Accepts the standard 1/4th inch bits, which secure by a VERY strong magnet with no locking function. Takes some force to get them out. Ratcheting is smooth, with a loud, metallic clicking sound. A little louder, and more metallic than most. The back ratchet is very light, easier than usual. Less likely to unscrew a less firmly planted screw. There is a little bit of lateral handle wiggle/slop, and some rotational wiggle also. About average for a good ratcheting driver. The handle is hard rubber where the knurling is, and hard plastic elsewhere. The way it fits in your hand, it feels more suited to precise work rather than brute force turning. Surprisingly comfortable. Easy to push down a little harder on the screw though with your palm. Overall, very nice and quite unique. I like how you can hold the screw in place and twist the shaft with your thumb and index finger to start, then twist with your wrist once it tightens up a little. Worth a try being so different from the traditional form. Above are come comparison photos for size and shape.

This amazing ratcheting screwdriver is Made in Japan, and is a great value for the money and worth every penny! It has a very smooth tooth ratcheting mechanism. A very high quality and durable tool that anyone who uses tools for a living will appreciate. It's a great value for the money and worth every penny!

I absolutely love this screwdriver. I keep it at my desk and use it as a fidget spinner of sorts to listen to the clicky sound when you ratchet it. I've used it on stuff around the house and it's very comfortable to use and well made. If I had to provide a criticism, my only thing would be if you remove the extension shaft and put the bit directly into the ball ratchet head, it's EXTREMELY hard to remove the bit. I have to get a pair of pliers to pull it back out. This seems to be caused by the retention ring inside the shaft and it just bites hard on the bit and won't let it easily pull out. Minor gripe since I don't plan to use it that way, but worth noting.

The screwdriver is very nice. My only complaint is that it can be easy for me to accidentally change the ratchet direction while using the screwdriver. Its not a big problem its just a little annoying. Other than that the bit it came with is superb and the functionality of the full length as well as the stubby is amazing. Ball grip is comfortable.

Very nice screwdriver. Tip grips screws nicely. Magent is very strong. Ratchet works well and easy to twist.

Solid quality

This thing is great. I have larger hands, so I haven't had a single issue with it accidentally changing directions or anything. The center position of the switch locks the shaft in place with very little movement. The magnetic retention is nice and strong with no retaining ring, so the made in Japan bits with longer bases work just fine as well. The ratcheting mechanism is very smooth with no excess play. It doesn't feel cumbersome to use at all. The stubby driver in the handle I a nice touch as you can buy different driver shafts for it. I'd like to try the Anex version next.

I thought this would be cumbersome with the changeable bit holder on the end, but the holder is milled in such a way that it is light and doesn't catch or snag in tight spaces. The ratchet is not as fine as I'd like, and the back drag is just a bit high, but it's perfectly usable and is a great carry when you are going to carry a variety of bits in your tool bag anyway. It supplements an impact driver well.

These are really top quality japanese tools

Ótimo produto!! Muito boa ergonomia material de ótima qualidade

Vessel ist als Marke in Europa ziemlich unbekannt. Gerade die hervorragenden japanischen Handwerkzeuge sind schwierig zu bekommen. Schön dass Amazon hier inzwischen einen bequemeren Weg anbietet. Bei einer Bestellung dieses Ratschen-Schraubendreher muss man sich aber darauf einstellen, dass das Werkzeug aus den USA geliefert wird, wo Vessel auch offiziell vertreten ist. Zum Werkzeug: Ich liebe es. Er ist kompakt und durch die Kugelform extrem handlich. Wer die Schraubendreher von Vessel mal in der Hand gehabt hat, weiß was ich meine. Durch die lange und relativ schmale Spitze kommt man auch an schwierig zu erreichende Stellen. Die Ratsche funktioniert einwandfrei und ist leichtgängig. In Kombination mit dem dazugehörenden Bitset („VESSEL 30-teiliges Schraubendreher-Set, Torsion, Typ "Impact Ball" + Bithalter“) ist man praktisch für jeden Anwendungsfall gerüstet.

Muy práctico y de buena calidad

Great ratchet bit driver and love that you can use it as a stubby driver too. Perfectly paired with vessel impact torsion bit set
