Bessel (Vessel) 16 Ratchet Drivers Group TD-6816MG

I’m returning this item. The ratchet is awful, it gets stuck and often skips a tooth. No quality control, shaft is not true.

I've bought Vessel tools in the past, mostly when I need a specialty tool like a JIS screwdriver. I have a very nice Vessel JIS screwdriver that has been used on a bunch of screws on Japanese vehicles and it works well.This time around I wanted a screwdriver for my motorcycle tool kit. One of my bikes uses a fair number of Torx screws so I wanted something with a variety of Torx bits included. This was the only screwdriver I saw that included Torx bits up to T40 so I gambled on it.Initial impressions look good. The fit and finish is excellent, and the parts are well finished. The ratcheting mechanism is 72 tooth and feels solid. There is no slop at all.The screwdriver has a pair of interchangeable bit holders that click into the handle. Only one can fit inside the handle at any given time, so I'm going to need to keep this screwdriver in a small pouch with the other bit holder. If you're used to something like the Klein 11-in-1 that hauls all of its bits around with nothing loose, this may be a hassle.It also requires a bit of hand strength to remove and install each bit holder. It's certainly nowhere near as easy to swap bits as it is on the Klein or other screwdrivers where you store most or all of the bits in the main shank of the driver. If I had to choose a screwdriver for my tool belt, for example, I'd probably choose the Klein because I don't want to be on top of a ladder fiddling with the bit holder in the back of the handle.However, for a motorcycle kit that isn't a big deal. Unlike the Klein and other many-in-one screwdrivers, this uses standard 1/4" bits. If you lose one, you can get replacements at almost any tool store. This is nice because you can also customize which bits you want to carry. I'll probably get rid of one of the flathead bits and replace it with another Torx, for example.This is a solid screwdriver that feels good in the hand and appears to be of very good quality. Once I use it (hopefully not in anger by the side of the road) I'll update.

Awesome quality if you don’t need a magnet.

I bought couple brand name ratcheting screwdriver i was not very happy with the ratcheting mechanism so i did some research and stopped upon this one so i decided to give it a try man I am so happy with it very nice ratcheting mechanism maybe bits are missing one more flat head but I have so many bits and all work great with the Vessel screwdriver.

Amazing quality toolHas strong and fine ratcheting mechanism and good selection of bits.Easily one of the top budget ratcheting screwdrivers out there.A minor complaint is that the ratcheting selection is hard to do with one hand so going from screwing in to unscrewing is hard to do one handed in tighter spacesI would also like to see the internal handle bit sets sold separately maybe with different colors too but that's just me wanting only one screwdriver for everything

Well made tool for the price, very fine mechanism is good for the electronic kit. I'll probably not use it for the Electrical tool kit, the bits storage is clumsy for that job, the flip style is always better. And I wish the magnet in the tip would make the bits hold a screw, it does not. It's smaller than I imagined but it fits good in the hand and the tool box.
