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 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.

this is a good quality product

I'm recently all about the ball-grip screwdrivers. This design has a comfy grip and great ratcheting functionality. Best of all you can pull the ball grip off and you have a ratcheting stubby screwdriver too making it very versatile.

This Vessel Ratchet Screwdriver is great for every day use or even in industrial environments. The ball grip is extremely comfortable in big or small hands, helps for those with joint pain as well. Packaging from this Japanese brand was functional, and intuitive. I love the hidden stubby screwdriver on this item, it is convenience at its finest. I own screwdrivers that are well over double the price and the Vessel more than pulls its weight. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth and does not have excessive back-drag on the shaft while using it for starting screws.

Love the way this fits in my hand and how useful the design is. Only wish I had more stuff to put together right now

Well made, easy to use , ratcheting screw driver. Magnetic holder for bits works very good.

Excellent! Perfect for arthritic hands
