FAQs
What types of bits are included in the set?
The set includes 32 bits: 6 Slotted, 6 PH (Phillips), 4 PZ (Pozidriv), 8 T (Torx), 4 H (Hex), and 4 S (Square) bits.
How do I change the direction of the ratchet?
Use the rotating collar located near the bit holder. Twist it to select clockwise, anti-clockwise, or a fixed (locked) position.
Can I use other bits with this handle?
Yes, the handle is designed to accept any standard 1/4-inch hex shank screwdriver bits.
How do I adjust the handle angle?
Press the push-button on the side of the handle head and then move the handle to your desired angle. Release the button to lock it in place.
What is the benefit of the soft-feel grip?
The soft-feel, trilobular grip is designed for comfort and control, reducing hand fatigue during extended use and providing a more secure hold.
How should I store the set?
The set comes with a sturdy hanging case that keeps all the bits organized and secure. It's recommended to store it in this case when not in use.
Are the bits magnetic?
While not explicitly stated as magnetic, the handle features a chuck that securely holds the bits, and a magnetic hold is common in such designs to aid in bit retention.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism not engaging properly
Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the chuck and that the rotating collar is firmly set to one of the three positions. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism and clean if necessary.
Bit falls out of the handle
Verify that the bit is seated correctly and fully engaged in the magnetic chuck. If the magnet appears weak, ensure the chuck area is clean and free from metal filings.
Handle angle adjustment is stiff
Press the push-button mechanism firmly while attempting to adjust the angle. Ensure the button area is clean and free from dirt or grime.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The set requires no initial setup beyond selecting the appropriate bit and inserting it into the screwdriver handle's magnetic chuck. Ensure the bit is fully seated. To change the ratchet direction, locate the rotating collar near the bit holder and twist it to your desired setting (clockwise, anti-clockwise, or locked). The handle angle can be adjusted by pressing the push-button mechanism on the side of the head.
Compatibility: The included bits are standard sizes and compatible with most common screw types. The handle is designed to accept standard 1/4-inch hex shank screwdriver bits.
Care: Keep the screwdriver and bits clean and dry to prevent rust and maintain performance. After use, wipe down the handle and bits with a dry cloth. Store all components securely in the provided hanging case to prevent loss and damage. Periodically check the ratchet mechanism for debris and ensure it moves freely.
