Williams JHWWRS-1 Magnetic Multi-bit Ratcheting Screwdriver, 9-Inch

26 clicks per turn, ratcheting mechanism is as smooth as butter with little back drag. Magnet is plenty strong for holding and aligning bits. Smooth, tri-lobe handle allows easy pocketability and superior chemical resistance. Simple open storage easily accommodates 10 standard bits inside (5 included) and an o-ring seal on the screw cap keeps the bits clean and dry in all situations. If you don't like the open storage, there are free files for 3D printer bit carriers, but these carriers reduce the number of bits you can carry to 6. Overall, a professional, USA made tool for a fair price. Highly recommended.

Well, I’ll echo most reviews. It’s a Snap On (literally, Snap On owns Williams and makes these drivers there) for a third of the price. The handle is different from the SO variant, but it’s just as comfortable. The shaft is fixed and doesn’t have knurling, but still has that smooth and incredibly low back drag you expect. Fit and finish is no PB Swiss, but it’s very much a sturdy tool. I like the all plastic handle (rubber dissolves over time) and I like that the magnet is strong.My only gripe is the bit storage. Come on Williams/ Snap On, put a carousel in there! There are 3d printed ones that are just dandy, there’s no excuse now. Bits loosely shaking around in the handle makes me want to remove a star, but the rest of the driver is fabulous and it does its job very well.

Great screwdriver. My favorite go-to screwdriver is the Snap-on Tools version of this that I've had for many many years and use almost daily. I heard about these Williams ones and they are definitely very similar, just slight differences but absolutely have the same awesome functionality and usefulness as the Snap-On version. Outstanding for the price too!I took some photos with a tape measure lined up with the space they both have just above the ratcheting gear selector to show the slight difference in length, as well as the slight difference in the shape of the handle.

So far, as an IT pro for 17 years, this is the (overall) best ratchet screwdriver I've ever owned: smooth action, seems durable (so far), holder of standard quarter-inch bits has a strong magnet, bits are stored in handle, etc. Just seems tighter, better built: *way* less play in the shaft or the holder than any other brand I've used so far. (Heads up, Wera, Megapro, et al.) And it's even made in the USA for a fair price.Some minor quibbles collectively knock off one star, though: bits are just stored loosely in the handle, which has a screw-top (Megapro's sliding bit holster is the best storage I've seen so far), and handle isn't as comfortable as a Wera or a Wiha. As soon as somebody sells a screwdriver with a Williams ratchet, a Wera or Wiha handle, & a Megapro bit holster for under $100 USD, preferably made in the USA but definitely not in China, I will buy it. Until then, this one's the best overall, for me.

Great product.Compare to the high-end craftsman or snapon ratcheting screw driver. The ratchet action is lovely and reminds you of the snapon. The weight and quality of the plastic handle is great, not quite as nice as the snapon but very nice.

The Williams was purchased for the on-board tool kit on our sailboat, and though and excellent screwdriver for the many reasons mentioned by other reviews, there are a couple things that make its sibling Snap-on better. First is the knurled portion of the shaft that’s missing on the Williams. That’s a feature that’s easy to dismiss, but used frequently on the Snap-on because it really speeds up spinning in longer screws with only your thumb and index finger when there’s not enough friction to engage the ratchet. Second, the directional collar for the ratcheting mechanism is considerably less stiff and the back drag is lower on the Snap-on, but with break-in those issues may sort themselves out. Finally the squared off handle on the Snap-on is more resistant to rolling while the Williams’ more cylindrical shape offers little resistance at all, problematic on a boat or any other firm inclined surface. Let’s see how long I can keep it from rolling overside into Davey Jones’ Locker.

Awesome little screwdriver. Snapon quality without the Snapon price tag. Ended up getting both the short and long versions.

I gotta say, everyone saying this is a great alternative to the Snap-On or Linus Tech Tips aren't kidding. This thing is solid and has a very nice weight to it. Doesn't feel cheap despite the fact it cost half the price plus it just feels so good in the hand.The big thing is the ratchet and that right there is the real star of the show. It's so light and has such a nice subtle sound to it. The ring for changing directions is big enough that I can change it with one hand and just stiff enough to hold it in place during bumps.Really the only con I can give to this is the bit storage. The loose bits in the handle, while held securely with a screw on cap, leaves me wanting for a proper bit storage.TLDR:Pros- Great build quality- Comfortable grip- An amazingly light ratchet- Solid and weighty feel- Direction change easy to use one handedCons- Loose bits tossed into the handle for storageThis thing is an amazing value for what you get and if you've been looking for one that doesn't break the bank, I'd very much recommend this one.
