Bessel (Vessel) Ball Grip Difference and Screwdrivers Set No.220w-3 by Vessel

Vessel, or Bessel is a Japanese brand.As a professional mechanic with a workshop full of top-tier tools — think Snap-on, Facom, Teng, Hazet — I don’t mess around when it comes to quality gear. So when I picked up the Vessel Ball Grip screwdriver, I wasn’t expecting it to punch quite as high as it does.Let’s get straight to the point: this is a proper JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screwdriver, and that matters — especially if you’re working on Japanese motorcycles. Anyone who's wrestled with tight carb bowl screws knows the pain of using a Phillips or PZ driver, only to strip the head because those standards don’t fit JIS screws properly. Vessel’s driver slots in perfectly, bites hard, and gets the job done without chewing anything up.The build quality is outstanding. The metal feels harder than your average Snap-on driver, which is saying something. I don’t know if that means it might be brittle over time, but so far I’ve seen no wear, no rounding, and no signs of fatigue — even under heavy workshop use.The ball grip handle is another highlight — comfortable, grippy, and surprisingly ergonomic. It gives you excellent torque without wrecking your hands, even if you’re wrenching all day. For fiddly carb screws or delicate electrical bits, it’s ideal.Honestly, Vessel might not have the brand clout of the big European and American names, but in terms of function, quality, and value, this screwdriver easily holds its own. I’d say it’s a viable alternative for professionals, especially if you're regularly working on Japanese bikes or machinery.Highly recommended. Even in a toolbox full of premium tools, this one earns its spot. I may well buy more tools from Vessel in the future.

First Ball Grip screwdriver I've had. Wasn't sure intinally but actually really nice to use. Bits are excellent quality & fit very securely into the handle - not stiff, just nice & positive.Wanted a JIS driver specifically for JIS Screws on shimano components for Bikes,It works great for this, but is also noticeably better (greater bite, more positve engagement in the head, more resistant to cam out) for POZI drive & Philips screw heads than both "traditional" styles of bitHighly Recommended

Great screwdriver

Picked this Vessel set up specifically for my Kawasaki fairings—standard Philips just don’t cut it. These grip perfectly without camming out, and the ball grips feel solid in the hand. Quality is excellent, they’ve got a nice weight to them, and the finish looks built to last. Worth it for anyone working on Japanese bikes.

Quality Japanese engineering and fit. The grip is perfectly designed for comfort and purchase and takes all universal 1/4 inch and 6.35mm bits and adaptors. Recommended.

Very good quality and practical. Very nice grip making it ideal when access is limited

A bad review about this product kept putting me off buying it. But it was a good price so went ahead and purchased it. It all looks good to me. Nice quality happy with purchase. Says Made in Japan on the pack and on the screwdriver and comes with 3 double ended bits. They have 3 jis, 2 pozi and 1 flat blade. Total of 6 different bit ends.

I've always wanted Jis bit drivers, thought I'd spend a little money on some. Expecting high quality from Japan. The reality is (unless I bought fakes) is that they are not the quality I would normally expect from Japan. They were Vessel.
