Bahco808050S-22 Stubby Ratchet Screwdriver Set, 22-Piece

Quality product.

Comes in very handy for small or hard to access projects. Very well made.

This seems like a fine tool, but know this before you buy. The indentation in the ratcheting handle is 1/4" _square_. The bits are 1/4" _hex_. To use a bit, you must install the short adaptor (shown above handle in photo), which has a square projection on one end and a hex indentation on the other end. Note: You cannot take a bit and plug it right into the handle. Three pieces (bit, adaptor, handle) are required. With the adaptor inserted into the handle, it looks somewhat less stubby.

Only two complaints: One is with the case, and even then it's only when the case is open as the whole thing doesn't lay flat when open, like most cases do. The hinge is positioned such that when you're digging items out of the foam, it wants to snap closed. Oh well.The tool and bit and other attachments are great. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth, but in certain situations, the direction of ratcheting can reverse itself if you're using a lot of force and you grip part of the selector ring. That's the other complaint. My Snap-On standard size ratcheting driver's selector turns the opposite way, so that when using a heavy hand, you're actually holding the selector ring in the desired position as you turn. But with this one, and it's easy to grab more than the rubberized portion of the grip since it's stubby, you may sometimes find yourself loosening, when you had been tightening.The flexible extension has come in handy a couple times and the adapters and bits are all interchangeable with my other drivers. Particularly useful of late is the 1/4" hex to 1/4" square drive bit. It turns this or any hex-based driver, as well as my Makita, into a nut-driving powerhouse. A different adapter converts a 1/4" square drive to the 1/4" hex so you can drive screws with your speed handle or other socket driver.I recommend it!

This is another great small tool set From BAHCO. I purchased one about a year ago for my workshop and have been so impressed with its utility and quality that I decided to get another one for inside the house. Because of its compact size, it fits in almost any drawer in the kitchen (I do alot of minor repairs to my grandkids' toys, usually at the kitchen table). I have been pleasantly surprised with the durability of both the ratcheting handle and the bits included in this set. The price is about right for tools in this category, especially considering the other inferior grade products out there that have a tendency to fail when they are needed the most. When you are up on a ladder, hanging blinds and/or curtain rods, the reliabilty factor becomes an imperative. I never buy a second set of any kind of tools, unless I am more than happy with first one. What does that tell you? I highly recommend this little tool set. GJM

Outstanding piece of equipment. The handle is very ergonomic and pleasant in the hand. It is also slightly oval around the center to provide better torque. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth and quiet. It has 45 teeth and a solid metal knob for changing direction. The shaft is removable and has a ball-detent at the end. There is very little play. All bits are excellent quality. In particular, the 1/4" hex to 1/4" square adapter has a retainer spring on the inside. It appears to be made in Germany, though that might have changed, but the price is very competitive for such high quality tool. I consider it superior in every respect to Snap-on's own models (a bit bewildering since Snap-on owns it).

Im a paint and bodyman sonwe use these types of screw drivers often. The stubby wrachet driver is excellent but the bits tend to mark up easily when used repeatedly. All in all good quality product.

Excelente producto, inmejorable calidad, muy práctico para usar en lugares complicados, excelente inversión.

Bahco make some excellent tools and this is one of my favourites, it fits everywhere and has a flexible extension to fit in awkward places. These are the same screwdriver as also branded Stahlwille. They have a lifetime guarantee

La scatola è di plastica un po' cheap, abbastanza leggera. Made in Taiwan. Il meccanismo a cricchetto è sicuramente valido e fluido al punto giusto, nemmeno troppo rumoroso. Trovo gli assortimenti Bahco sempre un po' poveri, nel senso che potrebbero benissimo inserire più pezzi visti i costi non esigui. Un minimo di fastidio nell'estrarre i bits e i vari altri pezzi dall'inserto in espanso, che comunque tiene bene nel trasporto i pezzi. Con bit inserito il giravite misura circa 11 cm in lunghezza, non pochi ma è lo standard per giraviti a cricchetto stubby. La prolunga flessibile non è molto flessibile, quindi utile per non troppi gradi di angolazione. Nel complesso un buon acquisto, ma nulla di entusiasmante. Per 20-25 euro al massimo lo consiglio, a prezzo pieno (38-40) non so se lo comprerei. Utile da avere per qualsiasi lavoretto.

Coffret plutôt sympa et pratique de prime abord.Le tournevis en lui-même est très bien, il ressemble à son frère jumeau le « Baby » de chez BOST ou à son cousin disparu de chez STANLEY (tournevis boule à cliquet contenu dans un coffret FATMAX XTREME qui est toujours visible dans leur catalogue-web mais introuvable dans le commerce.)BAHCO garantie à vie ses outils à mains (source : catalogue ; une garantie contre les défauts/vices de matériaux).Dimension boite (19.5x12.5x4.3 cm)Poids : 435 gFabriqué à TaiwanCoffret de 18 pièces comprenant :-1 tournevis à cliquet (3 positions : serrage, fixe et desserrage). Robuste mais assez « Lourd - 135 g» en main pour sa taille ; la matière grip du manche est agréable avec une bonne prise en main. Un seul reproche à faire, est qu’on ne puisse pas lui mettre directement dessus un embout de vissage.L’adaptateur est indispensable, ce qui fait de lui un tournevis de 11 cm de long (du bas du manche à l’embout). Cela étant, il reste toujours plus compact que ceux de la concurrence. - 1 porte embout hexagonal 50 mm 1/4”x1/4”; extrémité aimanté qui permet un bon maintien des embouts de vissage.- 1 adaptateur d’embouts 1/4”x1/4” - 8 embouts en acier S2 Zinc et phosphate (d’après le catalogue) : PH1, PH2, PZ1, PZ2, T15, T20, SL4, HEX3. En réalité, la qualité des PZ1 et PZ2 est médiocre, embouts marqués dès le 1 vissage manuel, pour les autres formats la qualité semble correct après quelques tests (voir à l’usage).-1 adaptateur de douille flexible 150 mm 1/4” x 1/4” ; pas si flexible que ça, il permet juste de s’excentrer de quelques centimètres. Ne vous attendez pas à pouvoir le tordre dans tous les sens ou à 90° (Cf. photo pour la courbe de torsion maxi).- 1 adaptateur de douille 1/4”x1/4”- 5 douilles 1/4” de 4, 5, 6, 7 et 8 mm (matière assez légère en espérant une meilleure qualité et résistance dans le temps que les têtes de vis)Un bon coffret dans l’ensemble mise à part la qualité de certain embout de vissage (heureusement il n’y en a que 8 et pas 17 comme dans l’autre coffret de chez BAHCO ayant pour référence 808050S-22).L’atout principal de ce coffret est la variété de ses accessoires ainsi que le format compact et pratique du tournevis qui permet d’accéder et de travailler dans des espaces confinés.

As usual, Bahco produce a quality set. The stubby handle is very comfortable to work with and the ratchet action is secure and smooth. It is easy to switch between directions. The flexible shaft is also useful for getting into tight angles.

Good bit of kit for my job when I’m servicing boilers but only for the boilers it’s hard to use the bend adapter to screw a screw into new holes but it probably wasn’t designed for that but for the servicing it’s perfect for getting to the more awkward screws
