Model Name BALL GRIP Ratchet Interchangeable Screwdriver
I think it’s a great thing. Until you need that long, thin shank because some genius engineer put a ph 2 down a 4 inch tube of plastic. Good thing they sell extra shanks so you can keep a couple of long ones in your bag too! This is gonna be epic when combined with my tool check plus.
Yea it’s a great driver and setup for sure. They just need to follow up with a shorter version as well. Thanks for commenting. Please consider liking and subscribing. 👍🏻
I swear engineers do that shit to mess around.
@@Mikey-ym6ok how else would they get their kicks. 😆
😂😂 not just me then!
I have the same vessel phillips ratcheting screwdriver. I still haven't used the phillips part of the driver. I just pull it off and keep using it as a stubby ratcheting driver. Greatest stubby driver of all time.
It’s a pretty good ratcheting screwdriver. However have you tried the Anex? I recently did a video and it might be my new favorite 👍🏻
@@thingsmen I subscribed after watching that video. After watching it I bought the Anex 6070 L-shaped screwdriver off ebay. Still waiting for the seller to ship.
@@kylehazachode quick work I see. I hope you like it as it does things the vessel cannot and at a great price.
@@thingsmen I've been a fan of Vessel when I discovered they acquired the Ball Grip patent from Craftsman when they were going through financial ruin. I like how they've improved the Ball Grip over the decades. Anex's products looks like they're gonna have a nice spot in my tool rotation.
Absolutely love my dedicated Vessel...my favorite screw driver. The capability to use different tips is perfect. Thanks!
I really like it as well. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks for reviewing this!
Anytime.
Good review. I have the original Vessel. This one looks interesting and versatile.
If you need a bit driver this would be a worthwhile addition
Mine turned up a couple of days back, haven't put it too much use yet, but does look real nice quality.
Great. Would like hearing your thoughts.
I picked up that item several weeks ago been using it ever cents love it very very comfortable
Since
Thanks for sharing. I would have to agree as well.
Nice, now I can almost get my perfect screwdriver, a Vessel ball with a #2 Robertson bit. Of course the bit holder is too wide to fit inside a breaker so the wait continues for the real perfect screwdriver, but this will still be nice for most things
You could use a 2" bit instead of a 1" (1 3/16") bit.
@@johnpelkey1375 I've done that but the longer the bit the more pronounced the wobble is from the 1/4" socket which makes it unusable in my opinion
@@onikwa I never thought of that.
Yea, its a great addition, but it wont replace everything. I would like to see a shorter tang and slightly smaller head for those tight places as you mentioned. Thanks again for commenting. Please consider liking and subscribing!
I picked one up as well! Nice driver, though I wish it was a bit shorter, maybe... It may grow on me as I use it more though.
Yes that would be my only complaint
What’s the old one at the top ? My grandpa had one of those he used to keep in his junk drawer for decades.
I believe it’s the Skil model but it also comes in many forms.
Looks good, but for me having the bit holder so close to the end is a deal breaker. For my Vessel ratchet screwdriver, I bought various off the shelf driver bits and 3d printed my own tapered, knurled collars and glued them on to look like the originals. Now I have pozidriv, ordinary Phillips and the Vessel JIS bits in lengths that suit my particular needs.
Agree that overall it should be shorter
Hey I have a question. Trying to figure out if mine is defective or if it's normal. When you turn the stubby slowly does it let go at some point? Like turns quicker, and then tightens up?
No mine is consistent throughout the whole turn.
LOTS of play in the stubby when it comes to bit holding. Oddly, it holds my Milwaukee bits SUPER tight so that I have to use pliers to get them out. Even the factory bit fits like trash.
It’s a very tight fit.
I'm gonna see how a set of the JIS Vessel bits go in my PB Swiss tools ratcheting driver.
They better be as good as everyone says they are.
PB Swiss Tools guarantee their bits for life and were tested as the strongest out of all screwdrivers in the universe on a Project Farm video.
If these JIS bits aren't better then the internet is wrong and I'm suing the creator of the world wide web for negligence leading to the incitement of LIES.
@@StephenMcGregor1986 😆
Does it have magnets to keep screws on position?
Yes both screwdrivers have magnetic 🧲 tips.
Is that only available in ratcheting version or is it available just as a screwdriver?
You can purchase the fixed drivers as well. Also worth noting that these do fully lock up like fixed drivers but do have a tiny bit of play.
@@thingsmenso you can turn off the ratchet function?
Do you know if their shorter 200W one will have excess play when using a bit holder? Like does it require one of the long driver bits that are like 4” long in order to lick up firmly?
@@Omnivorous1One not sure I understand the question but their drivers have just a tiny amount of play. If you want one that completely locks up get the Annex. It’s a ball grip too and very impressive. 👍🏻
A great new ratchet driver and its a monster with their bit set but why did the make it longer than the original? I just don't get it.
Fair point. I imagine they might offer them in different lengths over time.
Because they just changed the tip on the shaft they already had.
@@slayerment You're right! They just JB welded on a new end.
I love mine except for the fact that I can't get the bit out of the stubby without pliers.
That’s fair. If you have short bits it can be a challenge removing them. I tend to run slightly longer bits so that it’s less of a hassle. Thank you for commenting. Please consider sticking around by subscribing and liking. 👍🏻
@@thingsmen I mean the bit that it comes with. It's sort of difficult to even put in the stubby, and then nigh impossible to get out.
@@lern2swim it’s funny because it’s true. 😆
👍
🤗
The fixed blade is a JIS #2 not a PH2 easy mistake.
Sorry but it’s a Phillips. Written on packaging and on the driver. Does vessel make JIS drivers? Yes, just not this specific one. ☝️
@@thingsmen they are 100% JIS P1, P2, P3 and P4. The same goes for their bits.
@@iangregoryhome 🫂
@@thingsmen Try the brand ANEX they are also super nice, I have the 1000v in army colours 👍
@@iangregoryhome funny you mention Anex. Recently picked up their 397 and let’s just say I’ll be making a video on it very soon. 👍🏻
nope. Way too top heavy and long - It will tumble out of your side pockets at some point and leave a notch in the hardwood floor....
Hopefully there are more variants come around in shorter lengths. Give it time.
put the handle end in your pocket first and be careful taking it out?
pretty simple solution
@@StephenMcGregor1986 Problem is that being carefull is only a solution until you forget to be carefull and jam that bit into your wrist going for something else in the same pocket... or it will poke your side when kneeling down... or scrape you by simply swinging your arm past it while working.
Another problem with carrying upside down is that everytime you need to use it you have to take it out of the pocket and then flip it in your hand. If you need it once during the day thats fine. but when you need it 7000 times during a day that extra step is a hazzle that might make you drop the driver from a ladder and then having to go back down.
I am an electrician. I carry lots of screwdrivers daily and i pull them in and out of pocket 1000s of times daily.... I am talking from my own experience.
Didn't finish. Get to the point already!
🤷🏼♂️
Video is 10 minutes too long.
I know. Should be longer. 😉
