Comfortable

I needed a screwdriver, I had just received some 1/4" screwdriver bits for a powertool and saw this one mentioned in a youtube on how to make a compact portable toolkit with no compromises where this was mentioned. So I figured why not... and it is the best screwdriver I ever used. I wasn't quite expecting the ratchet function nor the feature that locks the bits in place. The magnet I knew about and is very handy to keep screws on its tip as I aim at the place to screw. After only one day of use I can't imagine ever using anything else as a manual screwdriver. I strongly recommend it.

I have bigger hands than the guy who squeezed the Playdoh to invent these handles. That's the tricky thing about finger grooves. They only fit perfectly in specific hands of a specific size. I'm 6 feet tall with average hands, and this handle is decent, but a bit too small. Still the shape and colors is a great marketing tool. This Wera 816RA ratcheting driver is still very nice. The handle is on the small side for its shape. But it still works. It is made of a hard black plastic and rubberized green areas. It's not magical though. Other basic handles fit and feel better. Wiha and PB Swiss have better hand fitting handles. The ratcheting is a subdued clicking. Not too loud, and not too quiet. The back reset is stiffer than some and lighter than others, so perhaps "average" for a quality driver is the best way to describe it. It's controlled by the silver collar, with opposite twist controls to change direction. You wouldn't hit it by accident easily due to the handle shape. It accepts 1/4th inch standard bits. A weak magnet captures them, then you push and they lock into the collar. To unlock you push the collar forward and they stay in, but pluck out from the weak magnetic connection easily. This is the best part of the driver. Solid locking with easy removal when you want. There is an average amount of lateral and rotational shaft play/slop for a good ratcheting driver, but it's not bothersome. Overall it feels solid and well made. It functions well. It think their handles are an excellent marketing and brand recognition tool and not much more. if they were a full inch longer or much fatter on every model, or if I had tiny hands, perhaps I'd feel differently. It's a weird 3 finger hold for me with the pink over the butt end. Above are some picks for comparisons.

As it's highly important and functional on my job, best investment i made in a single piece tooling

This is a nice tool. It feels comfortable in the hand and it has the quick release top, for the bits. I would definitely recommend this tool. G

Muy práctico y robusto.

A chave é maravilhosa, perfeita mesmo. Mecanismo muito bom, confiável e da marca WERA, sinônimo de qualidade. Os alemães sabem fazer ferramentas de qualidade. O único porém, é que eu gostei muitíssimo da chave e resolvi comprar mais uma, mas infelizmente aqui no Amazon Marketplace, o preço subiu de R$ 355,96 para R$ 499,00. E o vendedor de quem comprei essa não tem mais anúncio. Uma pena.

Der Schraubendreher mit Ratschenfunktion von Wera überzeugt durch die gewohnt hohe Verarbeitungsqualität, für die der Hersteller seit Jahren bekannt ist. Schon beim ersten Einsatz merkt man, dass hier typische Wera‑Handwerkskunst drinsteckt: präzise gefertigt, robust aufgebaut und ergonomisch durchdacht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die integrierte Ratschenfunktion, die im Arbeitsalltag eine enorme Erleichterung darstellt. Wiederholtes Umsetzen der Hand entfällt, wodurch Schraubarbeiten deutlich schneller und kraftsparender erledigt werden können. Gerade bei längeren oder schwer zugänglichen Verschraubungen zeigt sich der Vorteil dieser Mechanik sehr deutlich. Der Bit‑Halter ist der klassische Rapidaptor, den viele Profis bereits kennen und schätzen. Er sitzt fest, hält die Bits sicher und ermöglicht gleichzeitig einen schnellen Wechsel – ein System, das in der Praxis zuverlässig funktioniert und keine Wünsche offenlässt. Auch der Griffkomfort ist typisch Wera: ergonomisch geformt, rutschfest und angenehm in der Hand. Dadurch lässt sich das Werkzeug auch über längere Zeit präzise und ohne Ermüdung nutzen. Insgesamt bietet dieses Werkzeug eine Kombination aus hochwertiger Verarbeitung, durchdachter Funktionalität und echter Alltagstauglichkeit. Für alle, die regelmäßig schrauben – ob beruflich oder privat – ist es eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Sono veramente molto soddisfatto di questo giravite: l'impugnatura è della dimensione giusta, sagomata in modo ineccepibile, realizzata in bicomponente in modo da non affaticare la mano neanche dopo ore di utilizzo; il bilanciamento delle masse è ottimale, con un bit innestato il baricentro del giravite cade esattamente nella gola tra l'impugnatura e la ghiera di selezione della funzione (per intendersi, dove è stampigliato il marchio), questo accorgimento consente di affaticare meno il polso durante l'utilizzo; il grip è perfetto, non troppo ruvido né troppo scivoloso, anche in presenza di tracce di lubrificante. Il selettore di funzione, a tre posizioni, consente di scegliere se utilizzare l'attrezzo come un giravite tradizionale (inserto solidale all'impugnatura) oppure come giravite a cricchetto, sia in verso di avvitamento che di svitamento (cricchetto reversibile). Il porta inserti è dotato della funzionalità di cambio rapido (nome commerciale Rapidaptor), che consente di bloccare l'inserto semplicemente spingendolo verso l'impugnatura in fase di inserimento. Il giravite è inoltre dotato di magnete posto nella sede di inserimento dell'inserto, soluzione di gran lunga preferibile rispetto all'avere i bit rivestiti di materiale magnetico, che viene rapidamente abraso durante l'utilizzo. Per quanto mi riguarda, è il giravite perfetto! Certo, il prezzo non è economico, ma quando la qualità è così elevata si spende volentieri per avere un attrezzo di buona costruzione, lunga durata ed eccellente funzionalità.

Wera RA 816 1/4" est un tournevis à cliquet de taille moyenne avec la fixation des embouts de façon mécanique (une variante avec aimant existe). J'ai attaché des images pour comparer aux poignets des tournevis standards Stanley, Parkside et Werckmann. Pour la qualité, c'est plus solide que les tournevis que j'en ai possession. Dans mon cas j'ai déjà cassé le mécanisme de Parkside (voir photos) et de Werkmann... Le mécanisme ne se grippe plus et tourne dans tous les sens x) Déjà pour casser le mécanisme, j'ai juste utilisé la force de mon poignet !!! D'habitude, c'est l'embout ou la vis qui se cassent mais pas le tournevis :( Wera promet un couple de 50 Nm c'est énorme pour une main, donc à voir dans le temps. Concernant les plastiques et l'anneau d'orientation ( qui est en aluminium ) sont de très haute qualité Fabriqué en République Tchèque, c'est ce qui est marqué sur la boîte en carton dans laquelle est livrée la tournevis. J'ai déjà essayé tous types d'embouts et rallonges de 6.3mm, tous rentrent et se tiennent solidement. A recommander pour l'achat.
