Ratchet Screwdrivers
A ratchet screwdriver is the epitome of versatility. By owning a ratchet screwdriver set you've really covered all of the bases.
On most models of a ratchet screwdriver the ratcheting mechanism can be adjusted depending on what you require the tool to do. You can set up the tool so that the screwdriver ratchets in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. More than often you can set a ratchet screwdriver to not ratchet at all should you wish to operate it as a standard screwdriver.
The beauty of ratchet screwdrivers is that the ratcheting mechanism allows for quick tightening of any screw. By using a ratcheting screwdriver you will not have to constantly remove the screwdriver and replace it at the end of each rotation, instead simply rotate your hand counter to the direction you wish to apply pressure and the screwdriver will ratchet back.
Ratchet screwdrivers are extremely portable and will make an excellent alternative to both a traditional screwdriver and even a power-drill depending on the circumstance. By using a ratchet screwdriver you allow yourself an opportunity for maximum control, something that an electric drill may not offer, as it's usually the case that the aim of an electric drill is to complete a task with speed and not necessarily control. Another alternative to the electric drill is the spiral ratcheting screwdriver, a large example of one of these will make light work of any screwing and offers improved control over the electric variation.
