The type of people that buy Snap-on often don’t care about the price.īeing able to add the tools to their bills and pay them off weekly encourages them to spend more money.Īt this price, with the use, I’ve had and the fact it’s never caused me problems, I’m happy enough.
Snap on ratcheting screwdriver driver#
You’re definitely going to need to buy some more to go with the driver since it only offers 5 different bits. I’d recommend looking at what bit sets suit your needs and buying them. It’s much more automotive orientated with most, if not all the fixings you’re going to encounter on a vehicle. Personally, I opted for this Milwaukee shockwave set. This is so you buy their bit sets to go with it. I only encounter phillips out of the bits supplied and these are on Hondas, Hyundais, and Kias.įor the price, I’d expect a little more, even if they’d have to supply them in a separate rubber bit holder. Snap-On is an automotive dealer, so why haven’t they thought about this? My main issue is that there are so many different heads on screws these days. The 5 Bits that you do get are great, they fit perfectly into the heads and I have no complaints. While the screwdriver itself is a great piece of equipment, and so are the bits, there are not enough bits. If you’re a 2 hander, the shank also has an extra textured area for extra grip. I’ve never complained about how this feels in my hand and it’s never gotten hot and sweaty either. This means you’re not turning your wrist too much and can ratchet quickly. You only need to turn it about 8-12 degrees to get to the next tooth. Thankfully I’ve never faced any overuse issues, and don’t think I will with this tool. This is the same with any ratcheting tool though.
The main problem you’re going to face when using this for prolonged periods is wrist problems. This means it can be used as a ratcheting driver or a standard screwdriver if you want.Īs for the weight, it’s fairly lightweight in your hand. The 1st mode loosens, the middle is a stiff shank and the 3rd will tighten. It comes with 3 different modes, that you can switch by moving the neck. It’s so natural that you don’t think twice.ĭefinitely better than any other screwdrivers I’ve tried. With this snap-on option, it’s unbelievably smooth.
When using cheaper ratcheting screwdrivers, the ratcheting would feel stiff and unnatural.
Snap-On doesn’t disclose the number of teeth in this screwdriver, but once you’ve used it, you’d understand why this doesn’t matter. I’m sure it’d be useful for storing other things too. These are stored inside the screwdriver handle, just unscrew the end and you’ll be able to get them out. However, when buying the SSDMR4B you’ll receive 5 bits. FeaturesĪ ratcheting screwdriver isn’t really a feature-heavy tool. If you’re someone that uses normal screwdrivers every day, this will be an improvement. It makes adjusting headlights, bumpers, and even fenders quick and easy. It’s great for removing door cards and other interior trims and components. When I’m not using a ratchet or power tool for stripping, I’ll tend to use this screwdriver. What I Use It ForĪs an auto body technician removing and installing is a huge part of my job. TengTools and Stanley do offer good alternatives, but they’re not on the same level as the SSDMR4B.Ī lot of the other options are a fraction of the price but buying cheap can mean buying twice.Īfter a year or two of use here’s exactly what I think of the Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver. I don’t think any of them will ever come close to the Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver.Īnyone that’s ever bought snap-on tools, will know it’s hard to find a tool as good as the snap-on equivalent. Unfortunately, many of them are not good. There is an abundance of ratcheting screwdrivers on the market.
