Rolgear - 6" SILENT SMOOTH Ratchet S2 Steel Bit Nut Driver/Screwdriver

The best bit driver I've ever used hands down bar none. It makes no noise! Seriously! The way it works is so efficient that it might take some getting used to. I'm used to ratchet style bit drivers so when I first started using this one I kept turning it and waiting for the click noises that it doesn't make. The magnet in this one (the 6in model is the only one I bought) is so strong that I managed to get 4 decently sized car door screws to stick to the bit at the same time. Real Tool Reviews on YouTube did a really good review on all three of Rolgear's bit drivers and I recommend watching it to see what makes this tool unique. My only real critique is the green collar. This is what you have to turn to change the "modes" and moving it does not feel as good or as intuitive as the primary turning motion does. Sometimes it sticks, and sometimes it moves without effort and I'm left wondering if it changed or not. Not a deal breaker to me, I still love this tool and have no intentions of sending it back.

I use this around the house, so no extreme use or abuse. The screwdriver slips like crazy; definitely not worth the money. I have two of them, one bit driver and one Phillips and they both suffer from constant slipping under low loads. Poor quality tool.

Rolgear makes a fine screw driver. This driver has zero teeth in the ratchet this is my second rolgear i bought the multi bit one before and I needed this one to get into tight spot on a air conditioning unit with no room for a handle let along a whole hand. Did the job fine. I could have bought extensions for the multibit but I was so impressed with the rolgear multibit that I said it would be worth just getting the 6inch version and I was right.

To start, the 6" silent screwdriver is a great screwdriver to own but not as great as the hype. As a tool lover, I was definitely sold on the idea of gearless ratcheting system. The first one ever...at least that I know of. This product does have a smooth roll gear type of mechanism instead of traditional ratcheting that allows for smooth and silent movement. That as cool as the screw driver gets. - The design could be better by incorporating the bits inside the handle. ( It has quality bits and the magnet holds them in well.) - Could be longer as the handle does take up a lot of the length. - Appreciate the nut at the shaft to allow a wrench to slide over and add torque. - I have yet to push the screwdrivers torquing capacity and don't feel confident it can handle a lot. - Not sure how well this will hold up in automotive applications as the plastic handle and collar to shift rotation seems ok quality. Overall a great screwdriver as is it does what it needs to do. But I have other screw drivers I reach for. Unless I want to feel like the cool kid on the block and bring out this one just to hold the screwdriver shaft and spin the handle like a fidget spinner.

I am amending my review. The customer service saw my negative review. They proactively reached out to me and made my issue right. Not only did they make it right, they went over and above the call of duty. I highly recommend th product and customer service. Thank you The screwdriver is nice, but the reason I bought was it was magnetic. The magnet in the bit compartment pulls out. I will try to glue it back in place.

Too good to be true. The ratchet doesn't work, it gets locked all by itself when the "ratcheting" action is performed. Definitely stay away from this product.

Good quality, works well, beautifully smooth and works great for low torque fasteners that won't engage the pawls on a standard ratcheting screwdriver.. except if you have to push hard (like most Phillips head screws) it frequently won't "ratchet" and backs out when you reverse the handle. Also, the direction switch is very finicky, so be aware of that.

Purchased this from my local hardware store. I've had this screwdriver for about a year and it initially worked fine, however the ratcheting mechanism is now slipping with moderate torque. If you are in the US, just be aware you will have to ship your tool to Canada. For me, this isn't worth the cost or hassle to ship. I do not recommend this except for VERY light use with minimal torque.

I initially had issues with my first order, however once the seller was aware of my issue they reached out, very politely, to try to make it right. I received a replacement and have tested it a few times and it seems better than the first one. So far so good. The reviews from the US Amazon reviews seem accurate.

Well made excellent bit of kit will take any make bits

The mechanism is surprisingly smooth. Really easy to use and super quiet. I recommend buying this.

So, it works as claimed, right up until you need to push the driver into the screw with any force. Then the clutch locks up or flips direction. Not very happy. Back to Picquic drivers for me I think.

Great magnet
