ENGINEER DR-55 Super low-profile right angled ratchet screwdriver (only 22mm height) +/- bit assortment, fits into restricted and confined areas. Made in Japan

I wanted to use this a few times before I submitted a review. My job I needed this driver badly for some tight spaces and it was near perfect. High quality construction, and wonderfully thought out design. Its a treasure and hopefully I can use it for the next 20 years. I really do like this driver. I wish it was a 1/16 shorter LOL, but I made it work. I should hope to buy a 2nd one as a spare sometime soon. If you are hesitating, don't! Its a great tool and there is nothing that comes close out there trust me I looked for months and months until I found this.

Trying to find a very low clearance Phillips drive to replace a window operator in a wood window. Someone complained about the plastic parts - all of the load bearing and stressed parts are steel. Only the spacer and finger touch parts are plastic. No impact on reliability. Vertical clearance, bit tip to top of ratchet is 13/16 inch. Better than others, but... For people searching for a tight clearance drive, even more helpful is that the included hex bits are only 11/16 inch long - all of the other hex bits I can locate are at least one inch long. So these bits will provide the lowest clearance ratchet solution. And using them with the Husky tight clearance hex ratchet drive (Husky part number 66604), the vertical clearance drops to 11/16. Combined they make a great tool (Husky drive comes with 1 inch long hex bits - Husky should take a clue...) Only downside is that with the husky drive the finger wheel is very tiny and much harder to use than this unit's. Conversely the Husky head diameter is smaller, which in some locations with very limited clearance to the side, could be very helpful. (This units diameter at the head is 3/4 inch, while the Husky is only 9/16 inch) Sadly still too tall of for my operator removal. Only solution is the tight clearance, non-ratchet offset bits from Nieko and Anex - also available at Amazon (only 3/8 inch clearance). Fortunately they work - just no ratchet. This repair will take a while ;-(

works fine, price point is OK and quality is good, not great.

My wife and I were installing a Murphy bed in an 8 foot tall ceilinged room. The bed frame was 7 feet 10 inches and needed to be screwed into the wall to hold it up. There was not a lot of room to stick a screwdriver in, but this little tool easily allowed us to turn in the screw. I have since used it in two other tight spaces. It has a simple ratchet mechanism that allows tightening or loosening. The device itself lets you put pressure on the tool for when the screw in is difficult. It looks flimsy, but is actually well made and will probably last for years. I wish that it had come with some sort of housing like a box or pouch, but I made do with an old plastic box I had.

Very good. I'm using it in a very tight place with the only thing I would like better was if it were available with a longer handle or the ability to add to the existing

Initially thought it looked like rather a dinky little toy, maybe it was the red plastic and the diminutive size, but realized this was not only the right tool for the task I bought it for but a few months later have used for a multitude of other jobs. Seems to take a decent amount of torque for it's size, obviously hooking a 3 ft pipe over it would be excessive. Only comment would be if the design could be modified to shrink the head size it would be ever more capable in tight spaces.

Surprisingly good quality. It was actually made in Japan. Needed for an ultra tight spot and it worked perfect. Not sure if I’ll ever use it again because it’s so tiny.

The bits are nice but the throw/gearing on the ratchet is ridiculously long

Yes, it is usable and convenient

Yes it is made in japan exception for the carded packing. Slim and low profile.

Funciona perfectamente para sitios casi inaccesibles. Material de calidad. Súper minimalista , no ocupa nada de espacio. No sirve para todas las puntas por lo que hubiera estado bien que incluyeran más.

バルクヘッド上のパネルを外す時、これじゃないと外れない。この低さはありがたい！
