XiaomiBHR4779GL Ratchet Screwdriver, Black

Excellent screwdriver, amazing quality for almost €30. I know, I can get cheaper many of that type screwdrivers, but I pick this one and not regret it.Honestly, better than LTT screwdriver.

Move over LTT, you have been dethroned by this amazing ratchet screwdriver. It fits perfectly in your hand, the ratchet system is buttery smooth. The magnet in the tip is super strong, and it comes with 8 double sided bits (16 in total). No fiddly plastic clip system to hold the bits in, the bits are all held in place by magnets in a bit magazine in the handle, unlike the LTT driver, which a couple of people have reported the clips breaking if you drop it. The handle is a sort of rubber, but solid and gives you an amazing grip. Also as a bonus, you can remove the shaft and either place the bits directly into the handle, so you get a kind of stubby ratchet, or you can replace it with a standard bit extension. The only negative point I have is that the selector switch for the ratchet direction works opposite to the way you turn it, so turning the switch anti-clockwise, locks the screwdriver in the clockwise direction, and vise Versa.

Simple top quality screwdriver.

Let's start with the good:- The bit storage being magnet is amazing it makes getting bits in and out of it a breeze while still allowing you to see the side of the bits which is usually where the size is written. It's strong and I've had no issues with bits falling out of place or coming loose while inside the screwdriver and even when having it out of the screwdriver. The button to release the storage is the perfect combination of being firm yet pretty easy to press and the fact that the button needs to be pressed so far in makes it so that you never have to worry about accidentally releasing the bit storage while palming the ratchet at any point.- The soft touch and grippy handle is a welcome sight when compared to my previous ratchet screwdriver which was hard rubber and not very grippy. I've never had issues with the tool slipping out of my hand while using it. However, I don't know how easily it will get scuffed up when inside of pants or a toolbox. If I remember and I see any wear or tear I'll try to update this review.- The ratchet has so little backforce. I bought this as mostly a PC/electronics repair tool for when I'm working on my PC and the ratchet has been so great. I found the toggle switch to be easy to access with one hand to reverse/lock the ratchet and the ratchet never once slipped or felt like it was a hindrance.- The 16 bits are great. They seem really strong, and durable, and not one has chipped or warped during use yet, again I will try to update this if anything changes.- Packaging was nice, simple, and super easy to get the screwdriver out of while still protecting the tool during transit and storage. It could easily be given as a gift and the packaging would add to the gift rather than subtract.- The removable shaft is amazing, why don't more tools use this?! Being able to go from a really long to a 'stubby' screwdriver in seconds with the same tool is something that shouldn't be overlooked and being able to change the shaft to be a longer shaft for those hard-to-reach screws is just amazing. There is some wobble with the shaft but it is way better than the wobble of my fixed Stanley ratchet shaft that cost me around £15 from B&Q---So all of that is really good but unfortunately, this isn't a perfect world and we have to explore the downsides here too...- It does not fit the more commonplace 25mm bits or anything smaller than 32mm bits. This is super frustrating for someone who frequently uses less common bits while working on electronics. Don't get me wrong the inclusion of the 16 bits is great and for most will probably be fine, but for that one time, you may need a specific bit that isn't included you'll find yourself reaching for that old screwdriver you have instead of being able to use this one. Now I understand the reasoning behind why they are 32mm bits as they wanted to include 16 bits in the handle rather than 8 but including 8 somewhat proprietary bits that you don't seem to sell anywhere is a bit annoying. What do you do if a bit warps or chips over time? You're snookered because Xiaomi nowhere seems to resell replacement bits. Not to mention if your PH0 bit breaks you are now stuck with one bit that is good while one is ruined so do you throw the whole bit away, losing one bit that is good or do you keep it but now only have 15 bits in your screwdriver?The upside to this is that you could buy a new shaft off of Amazon or Temu and replace it so you can use standard bits, but in doing so you'll cut your bit storage in half from 16 to just 8, not to mention the shaft included is 110mm and from my own experience you can't buy those so you'll be stuck with a longer or shorter shaft. Also, the shaft will likely be silver as they don't sell black shafts.What annoys me most is that they don't sell replacement bits, so they give you a screwdriver that takes 32mm bits which are uncommon at best but don't resell their double-ended bits for when one breaks/gets damaged.---So hearing all of this you maybe ask yourself would I recommend it?Purely from someone who has used it for electronics, I would recommend it BUT I would change the shaft and use standard bits and reduce my bit storage from 16 to 8. The ratchet is the best I have ever used, the bit storage is so easy to use and fast to use and the fact that the bit storage button doesn't interfere with me using it is amazing. Overall it's an 8/10 from me. I just which it came with a shaft for 25mm bits and you could buy replacement bits elsewhere.

I wanted an LTT screwdriver, but didn't want pay the price. This screwdriver is amazing for the price. It feels premium, it comes in premium packaging, and it works like an absolute dream. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Arrived without the screw driver ends so not usable. Would appreciate the missing pieces being sent.

Not like the top dogs on the market, but if you find it in an offer then it becomes a deal

Används hela tiden. Funkar fint och är gedigen.

It's pretty good quality, nothing is wobbling, everything feels solid.The metal parts were a bit greasy when I received it, but after a quick pat with a paper towel it was all gone.

First, it comes with a good package, its compact design and handle are firm to grip. The ratchet gear is strong when you turn left or right and the bits are complete. Overall it's an Excellent product based on my opinion.
