Cordless ratchets exist but everyone still owns a wrench. Lots of reasons to still use a ratcheting screwdriver. Smaller and lighter and fits in tinier spots.
You can store it outside for 35 years and it still works. Let’s see a powered screwdriver do that
I bought the Wiha top screwdriver. Tbh, I am not impressed. The feel and grip is not ideal. Its cool how the bit holder pops out like a flower but the bits don’t come out easy.
Also, as far as bits are concerned, they all fail eventually under load. They cam out and dont work well anymore. As long as the bits you have can be replaced.
I’ve had really good luck with impact rated bits like these.
The Makita seem to last and the “diamond” grip well.
At least in the batch I’ve gotten.
All the Best, Jeff
Not really sure what you are asking. Are you talking about a cell service provider - like AT&T or Verizon?
Or a local ISP?
Might be best to link to from here and start a new thread.

PS
Here is a list of Cell providers for easy lookup.
If you click on the “YouTube” in the bottom right option in the video and try to watch directly on YoutTube does that work?
Are you watching on a phone?

Hey Jeff, apologies for not being clear, @raccoon hit the nail on the head, I just wanted to know what the top 3 drivers were from the video
For background context to try and explain that I’m not just being lazy: I’m currently on a remote site in Africa for the next 5 weeks so youtube is essentially non-functional. At home I’ve got 10Gbps FTTH; at my very remote worksite, we are on satellite internet shared between 40+ people. 1Mbps is available on a really good day for an hour, average I would guess is 100Kbps… it’s frustrating but quite eye opening to realise many people in the world are on slow connections and the western/corporate world insists on making increasingly bloated/data intensive Web pages and mobile apps. Unfortunately skynet starlink isn’t yet available in the area I work!
Those hollow ground tips, matched to the screw, sure keep from buggering up slotted screws.
I have one of their scope mounting kits.
Really helpful if you do much of this sort of thing.
Lapping the rings really shows how poorly some are made.
My kit came with 1" and 30mm bars.
For screwdrivers I have a set from Brownells. https://shop.brownells.com/

Wait, how much is the Wera for you? It’s around 20 bucks here, with free shipping
I’ve been using the Kraftform 27 for a couple of years now. Wobbles a bit much, but it is rock solid - I am not worried in the slightest putting a big Torx bit in an trying to undo stuck M10 screws with it, as a last resort before getting a wrench.
Most ratcheting screw drivers are fragile enough you can potentially damage them by applying the max force a human can exert on such a grip on a stuck screw, the Wera is way beyond that and my hands would snap before the ratcheting mechanism. That’s pretty relaxing to know.
Not the ideal tool for fine work due to the wobble and large steps, but the perfect tool for rougher work due to the peace of mind it gives that it is virtually indestructible.
I think all the drivers in the video required more than hand strength to break.
The Wera was the strongest.
Surprised how far down the Snap On was.
All the Best, Jeff
It’s not a ratcheting screwdriver, but pretty compact and has a very strong magnet (similar to the one tested by Project Farm).
For small screws I prefer the Wiha PicoFinish series, although the Wera Kraftform Micro are also quite good. For larger screwdrivers I prefer Wera Kraftform.
I have a set of Bernstein-rebrands of those - have been using them for years and they are great.
My larger Bits are mostly Milwaukee Shockwave - they served me well so far and are surprisingly cheap for top quality impact wrench rated bits. At least compared to Wera Impactor… Spendy things.
