Just treated myself to a new screwdriver - Wera ratchet with bits in the handle. Had a mishap with a job which a ratchet screwdriver would have helped no end.

The instructons are hard to find so i sympathise with you for missing it. I knew as it was part of the bumf when looking round for it. I ordered the wrong one with that on and also no ratchet (don't ask how I missed it when ordering) so took it back. Wondered why it was cheaper.
Got 11 green Wera and set of 6 Red Wera now. Plus a handle but didn't read the bumf and it was for the next size up Hex so had to buy a new shaft that took standard size Hex - Have to say though the extra thickness of the shaft makes the screwdrive feel more solid.
I started looking at anything between £10 and £15 but became so confused and undecided I just said sod it get another Wera -
If only I had the spare money 40 yrs ago and could afford good tools.

PS I do have a Stanley Yankee with hex adaptor.

That blokes voice cut's through me like a blunt knife so turned him off -I have tried watching his videos before.
Screwdrives are like any tool - Does it fit your hand - Wera is perfect for me - When my Bro died I had all his kit - The number of old hammers I binned because they didn't feel right amazed me.
I do have other hex screwdrivers but they are cheap and the movement in bit and shaft is off putting.

I joined OC because I wanted to build my first PC - - All the other forums are a bonus.:)
 
Ha -no medal -My Bro had that when he was at a canal rally on Dudley/Stourbridge canal in 1979 - I gave all the others away to a boater but kept that one- it's sitting there getting the odd polish. It's heavy.
