Wera05051461001 1/4 x 142 816 RA Ratchet Screwdriver - Silver

It’s early days but so far this Ratchet driver feels super high quality & seems to made to a high standard. It feels great in the hand with nice grip & ergonomics. The ratchet mechanism is smooth & positive. I have used a Stanley ratchet screwdriver for years and this Wera is undoubtedly better made and looks great. Is it worth the extra cost? So far all indications are that it’s worth the higher price and it looks great. In summary, I would highly recommend this tool and would say…Go get it!!!!

Great addition to my tool kit, with comfortable, ergonomic handle. Only had this a couple of weeks but the solid build seems like it will stand up to the task. The ratchet functionality is sturdy and the magnetic grip works well. I would recommend this over cheaper brands I've had in the past where the ratchet functionality loosens and then fails.

Wera tools = the price sometimes hurts, but the quality is absolutely excellent. I paired this with a Wera bit set. None of those monkey metal bits that the heads are as soft as cheese. The ones to pair with this are brilliant, but back to the screwdriver. There's not much to say about a racheting screwdriver, but if you want, no deserve, an upgrade then I would pick one of Wera's screwdriver range. Don't worry about the price, it will be with you for years to come. No, I don't work for them or get free products. I use my own money to buy Wera kit!Recommended (a lot!)

Well designed and made. Solid, positive ratcheting. Fits snugly in an (apron) pocket along with a few assorted bits.

Very good but is expensive

Fantastic quality as usual from Wera, gradually moving all my tools over to this brand, well worth the money

All round excellent screwdriver, hopefully the last ratchet screwdriver that I purchase. Previously I've had a few which have since become rusty or the ratcheting mechanism isn't as good as it once was.This screwdriver has a much more premium feel to it and is a pleasure to use. One thing which is taking a little bit of getting used to is that the fitting that attaches the screw bit too the screwdriver has to be pushed up, whereas my muscle memory tries to push it down. Not a massive issue, which is why this remains at 5 stars, just something I need to get used to.I decided not to go for a screwdriver which included bits in the handle, I have a good selection of bits already and don't need more, though I understand that this would be convenient.One of the main reasons I went for this screwdriver over others was the fact that you can use a bit extender if you wish, but by default you don't have one, so that you can get into tricky to reach spaces more easily. I bought a selection of bit extenders for if I ever require it.

Great little ratchet, well made, good weight to it with a comfy ergonomic grip. May not be ideal for someone with shovels for hands, but mine are a good size and I really like the way this feels.The quick release bit is great and works with all standard impact bits of all sizes....haven't tried them with a standard hex shank yet but it is magnetised aswell so shouldn't be a problem...works well with one handed operation.Excellent ratchet, sturdy mechanism. Bit of play as with every ratchet I've ever owned but much better than the Stanley speed drive that it replaced with pretty smooth operation. Best ratchet I've owned to date and well worth the price tag

As it's highly important and functional on my job, best investment i made in a single piece tooling

A chave é maravilhosa, perfeita mesmo. Mecanismo muito bom, confiável e da marca WERA, sinônimo de qualidade. Os alemães sabem fazer ferramentas de qualidade. O único porém, é que eu gostei muitíssimo da chave e resolvi comprar mais uma, mas infelizmente aqui no Amazon Marketplace, o preço subiu de R$ 355,96 para R$ 499,00. E o vendedor de quem comprei essa não tem mais anúncio. Uma pena.

Good screwdriver... But I was expecting better for the price. Not very comfortable and lots of play. It also takes a good amount of torque to drive the ratchet so you have to find a way to hold the screw when spinning backwards.

Excelente producto. Nunca había tenido uno de estos y va fenomenal.

Für alle, die’s eilig haben: Ich bin mit dem Ratschenschraubendreher wirklich sehr zufrieden. Er ist solide, top verarbeitet und sehr ergonomisch. Es macht Spaß, damit zu arbeiten.Und für alle, die‘s ganz genau wissen wollen:Das Werkzeug macht einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Die Verarbeitung ist einwandfrei und weist keinerlei Mängel auf. Auch einen Geruch konnte ich absolut nicht feststellen – ganz im Gegensatz zu manchem China-Werkzeug, das erbärmlich nach Plastik stinkt.Der Griff hat gummierte Einsätze und ist rutschsicher und ergonomisch. Die Ratsche klackt schön fein, so dass man nicht viel Winkel braucht.Die Ratschenrichtung wird durch einen griffigen Umschaltring aus Metall umgeschaltet. Die Positionen sind gut sichtbar beschriftet. In der Mitte ist eine Neutralstellung. Dreht man den Ring auf diese Position, lässt sich der Ratschenschraubendreher wie ein ganz normaler Schraubendreher benutzen.Der Bit lässt sich in der Halterung durch einen Schieber arretieren. Anders als sonst oft üblich, hat dieser Schieber keine Feder, sondern rastet in beiden Stellungen (auf/zu) ein. Dadurch kann man den Bit auch notfalls mit einer Hand wechseln, was ich sehr gut finde.Der Schraubendreher ist insgesamt 4 cm lang. Das ist für manche Anwendungen etwas kurz, aber man kann ja problemlos vorne eine Bit-Verlängerung einstecken. Der Griff hat an der dicksten Stelle einen Durchmesser von 3,5 cm.Der Schraubendreher wird in Deutschland hergestellt. Die Firma Wera sitzt in Wuppertal. Die Verpackung ist recht edel gemacht und besteht nachhaltig nur aus Pappe. Eine Anleitung liegt nicht bei – die braucht man aber auch nicht. Wer die Bedienung nicht so hinbekommt, sollte es lieber lassen.Fazit: Genau so muss ein Ratschenschraubendreher gemacht sein. Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, das Werkzeug lässt sich einwandfrei benutzen und funktioniert prima. Ich finde wirklich nichts zu meckern und kann daher problemlos 5 Sterne vergeben.Ich hoffe, ich konnte mit dieser ausführlichen und ehrlichen Bewertung bei der Kaufentscheidung weiterhelfen. Wenn mir später noch was positiv oder negativ auffällt, werde ich das hier noch nachtragen.
