Review: Great Wera Tool - My go to screwdriver - Great Wera ratcheting screwdriver. It has been my go to screwdriver for the last year. The ratchet is smooth and the ability to drive the bit makes it very easy to get started when there is not enough tension to engage the ratchet. Its a nice compact handle that will work well with either a set of wera bits or any other standard bits you have lying around. The handle may be on the smaller side but I think they have released a larger version this year.
Review: This is the one - Fantastic bit screw scriver. Great design, fits nicely in the hand, small and compact, travels well. The ratchet design and spinny bit that you can hold onto at the front set really set this screwdriver apart. Haven't looked back, or at another bit holder screwdriver, since getting this one. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Wera Tool - My go to screwdriver
*by C***H on 17 August 2025*

Great Wera ratcheting screwdriver. It has been my go to screwdriver for the last year. The ratchet is smooth and the ability to drive the bit makes it very easy to get started when there is not enough tension to engage the ratchet. Its a nice compact handle that will work well with either a set of wera bits or any other standard bits you have lying around. The handle may be on the smaller side but I think they have released a larger version this year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the one
*by S***T on 30 March 2026*

Fantastic bit screw scriver. Great design, fits nicely in the hand, small and compact, travels well. The ratchet design and spinny bit that you can hold onto at the front set really set this screwdriver apart. Haven't looked back, or at another bit holder screwdriver, since getting this one. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game changer
*by B***D on 13 June 2024*

On one level this is a quality ratchet bit holder. Handle is compact but comfortable, almost the same size as the ra816, so fits in Wera tool rolls. The rapidaptor locks bits simply and tightly. The ratchet mechanism is smooth and requires little back drag force. Slight wobble with a long bit but acceptable. BUT.. the speed function elevates the ratchet screwdriver to a new level. Very intuitive way to start a screw or quickly remove one that has been loosened. I have several other ratchet bit drivers but this has become an instant favourite. Highly recommended
