Hey, great follow up video and thanks for the shout-out, man! 😀👍 I’m really glad that you found that feature. These new ratcheting drivers from Wera are really great tools, and that free spinning “speed” function is a terrific feature. I’ve only had the tool for a couple of weeks and I’ve already used it a bunch. Cheers, man! 🥃😎

[@christophercastor6666]

Bought centrofix and the “original” hazet bit driver about two years ago from watching your videos. They are game changers. Thank you for your service, sir!

[@aussiehardwood6196]

U got the good ones. Nice tight retention. Awesome with nice Japanese bits too.

[@Size15s]

Brilliant follow-up video! The "bulky" Wera ratchet selectors aka "Switch Over Rings" of the 811/1 RA 816 RA Kompakt 27 RA 80 RA etc do not work like these new 838 RA-R M and 838 RA S ratcheting bit holders do.

[@bzeug]

Thank you.

[@fuloplehel]

Great follow up video, I have the older version ratcheting drivers with the metallic selector and they are opposite of this new ones,like the majority of the ones I have. Sometimes it happened to me when I was driving a screw in tight spaces, to catch the selector ring on something, reversing the direction of the ratchet. This never happened with the older version of this wera tool. I have the 816RA version, I like the finer tooth count ratchet, it's rated to 50 Nm in the brochure. But I have to try this new version, I like the speed function. This rapidaptor holder is wobbly, and not only on the ratcheting drivers, actually the holder is sliding with the locking ring, adding another little gap in the mix. But after all is not a big deal for me.

[@JohnnyThomas-py3jv]

Love the aesthetics of the channel.

[@piotr2951]

I prefer the natural selectors like the one on the LTT screwdriver

[@delbelyea5443]

I'm glad to see the topic of selecter direction finally come up in a review. My first ratcheting screw driver was a snap-on way back when you could only get them in the black hard handel version. I've been wondering if it's the direction I perfer, or just something I have muscle memory for. I've admitted if I drove in a country where you drive on the other side of the road, that would be wery awkward. . But regardless...for me its always been turn the selector in the direction you want to turn the screw, or else it feels backwards.

[@cafecybernz]

"Selector bump" during fastener driving, resulting in ratchet going wrong way, had been a pet peeve of mine for years! Even wrote to Bahco about it, fifteen years ago. But now I've seen the light 😊

[@vr66luke]

Can’t wait till these come off backorder in Canada.

[@chansreviews]

Personally I don't like traditional reversed selector for ratcheting drivers, because if the switch is not in a good location you can accidentally actuate it when you're quickly driving something.

[@yanlucky7]

ANEX No.397 is the best value, but now the new Wera bring it to a new level.

[@piotr2951]

Would you consider creating a facebook group/patreon chat where we could exchange information about tools ? KZbin comments are pretty limited.

[@stringlarson1247]

I vote reddit. I don't use FB.

[@TheBonbenk]

Anex 397 + Centrofix adapter is my go to driver, it's the best in my opinion. The wera isn't ready in my country yet, I'll buy it when it's released.

[@HomoKieran]

The older Wera ratchet drivers had the selector in the opposite direction, I didn't prefer it but I did get into the habit of holding the selector ring with one hand and turning the handle in the driving direction with the other. But it did mean that when I didn't have a second hand free it took a tiny bit of thought to remember that I need to flick the ring the wrong way. I've now switched to the Hazet driver (much preferred, less drag and holds more bits) and prefer the selector ring direction.

[@lemech]

Yes, I have been using the free spinning function with the rollgear as well, though it is not as ergonomic as the new Wera. I too think that the ratchet direction selector should follow the same direction as in the rollgear or new Wera.

[@meshark03]

Great video. Love the content you’re putting out.

[@lockhammer3481]

Bought two of these it’s the first ratcheting driver I have ever liked and I have a drawer full of them that go unused.

[@Rhubarb2]

Great follow up!

[@pets4489]

Great content

[@justinkase1360]

I wish one of these companies made a driver like the 11-in-1 impact driver from Klein. I really want to try out these brands, but I have yet to find anything like that. It's super convenient because it's faster to switch that grabbing individual bits from a handle bit holder, because it also can drive hex fasteners up to 3/8" AND because I can throw the tips on an impact quickly. The downside is that it's not magnetic, which is a real bummer. I do have a Vessel ratcheting screwdriver (2200MBH120) and it's TERRIBLE for one handed use. The selector gets bumped when in normal use and goes the wrong direction. Also, the stubby part has a TON of slop when you use it with the included bit and has problems with US bits as well, either FAR too tight or too sloppy...which is strange.

[@Soundwave857]

the reversed ratched selector on my wera makes me not use it, It trows me off so much every time >_>

[@daifeichu]

It looks like the Wera's selector needs to be setup the way it is for the free spin. I've seen other videos where the creator talks about the direction of the selector on different drivers but it's a non-issue for me.

[@stringlarson1247]

Yes, indeed. Definitely a design decision. I'm getting one for that reason as well as low back drag and handle design. Hopefully, the wobble mentioned will be tolerable.

[@goncalovazpinto6261]

That long slim bit on that blue and black ball grip screwdriver, what brand and model is it? I prefer those slim bits because of hole clearance, specially in electrical appliances.

[@bzeug]

I think this is the one you are referring to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6GWl4StYsShjKc

[@goncalovazpinto6261]

@@bzeug Yeah, that one. Those are japanese standard bits right? I want to collect a set of these long thin bits but I'm having trouble finding quality ones (western style). There are some new sets from PB swiss, but the longer ones are only hex...

Small one is only magnetic.

How strong is the magnet?

[@bloodynoble]

I would like to know too I have Wera impact bits holder which has weak magnet to hold the bits. A little disappointed on that.

[@bzeug]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/apbMqIB3drCZf7s at about 10:45 I show the strength of the magnet.

[@Tokumei9]

I have several ratchet screwdrivers and i have to say, the Gearwrench is by far the worse.

[@snapchat7293]

Bzeug, Wera regular screwdrivers have been known to rust up in tool bags. Do you have any experience with this in regards to their bits? Have you ever had any bits develop rust?

[@bzeug]

Never had any Wera bits rust at all. Rust isn't something I really have to think about though and maybe that is why I fail to address that topic much at all.

[@squirts1]

what is the blue driver on the far right? Looks like the Anex, but I haven't seen a blue one.

It is an ANEX rebranded for TAMIYA. Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6GWl4StYsShjKc
