Rolson 28909 11 pc Offset Ratchet Screwdriver Set

Every diyer should have one of these in their toolbox. It is so useful when full height screwdrivers cannot fit into the space. I used this when fitting a shower curtain rail which needed to be as close.to the low ceiling as possible.I had about 2 inches of space above the bracket and this tool was the only thing I had that fit and the ratchet system works really well.It's very good value for only a few quid. It is not particularly robust so treat it kindly but it fully tighten the screws without issues so did the job.

The advantage of a tool like this, is that it can get into awkward places that are difficult to reach and this is small enough to do this task. However, the handle is just about 5 inches long, so don't expect amazing leverage against rusted in bolts and screws. I still managed to use it to tighten a difficult bolt for an indicator light where a screwdriver was not able to get the right angle on the cross-head and working in conjunction with a spanner, so found it useful. The handle seems to be well constructed, all steel, with a small selection of screwdriver bits and allen keys - for the price, it is really good value, but you might consider buying a more expensive set that includes a longer ratchet handle. Having said that, this set is handy and easy to store as part of a small, portable tool kit.

It was between taking everything off a shelving and desk unit to turn it upside down and unscrew and move the bottom shelf or order this and wait 24 hours so i have a philips head that fit in the tight gap and i choose the latter.Its smells funny and i would not say it was the more premium of devices but it does the job and saved me a lot of hassle. Im sure its also a useful thing to have on hand.

I have numerous sets of countless tips and drivers for every posi-drive, Philips, flat and hex; screw, bolt, nut, and so on..., yet, with annoying regularity, I still find myself missing that one, ever-so-common tool/tip - which is probably why they go "missing" in the first place.I bought this little ratchet driver just because it has greater leverage than an ordinary screwdriver, and it didn't have yet another large set of redundant tips to make things worse. Well, for £3.75 it does exactly what I wanted at an excellent price. So, I give it five stars just for that. It is also has a knurled knob you can use once you don't need the leverage any more, so it speeds things up a bit.However, I find myself using it constantly. It is small yet strong and has a well-chosen little selection of the tips you need most often. So I'm keeping it a secret. I'll probably buy one more and lock it in my safe. Maybe another one for my bike. Hmmm, another one for the office, ... I'll have to give it five more invisible stars. Just don't tell anyone or they'll raise the price :)

Handy tool, should do the job, not amazing quality but for one off uses it should be more than enough.

Amazing little tool to keep in your tool box. Invaluable when trying to access confined spaces when a conventional screwdriver simply won't do. Incredible value for money too!

Strong Bag with many uses at a good price

Not sure if/when I will use this, but I thought it might come in handy if I were struggling to reach the top of a screw! By its very nature, it is difficult to apply any pressure toward the screw head. Not sure if there could be a design allowing you to push down without obstructing the mechanism. Anyway, the ratchet appears to work well and the tool appears to be fairly well made. Given some of the poor reviews, I am not sure if there is a consistency/manufacturing problem (or even getting the product that is described!), but this one seems to be fine.
