Tool Adaptability

The new Stanley Workmaster ratchet screwdriver has a mechanism that allows the handle to ratchet back after each turn while the blade and tip remain stationary. It differs from a spiral ratchet screwdriver in that it is turned with a twist of the wrist.

The three-position ratchet switch provides ratcheting action when driving a screw, reverses the ratcheting action for loosening screws, and locks the handle on the blade for use as a standard instrument.

The screwdriver has a forged hex socket, enabling a user to change bits for various screw heads, including Torx screws. The socket can also be adapted for use with inch and metric sockets. The bits can be kept in the screwdriver handle which can hold eight bits and is closed with a screw cap. The handle has a triangular shape that fits the fist and provides maximum turning torque.

The shaft is solid steel and chrome plated. The ratchet mechanism housing is frtted into the handle in a triangular configuration to eliminate the possibility of the handle rotating around the housing. The tool is packaged in a tray for home workshop storage.

The system is available in three different sets.
