Finally - Ratchet Knob Direction Matches Driving Direction
Photo shows this Wera 838-RA-S ratcheting bit holder in center between a tiny Wera 813 and a PB Swiss 8453 stubby.It's about time makers of ratcheting drivers stopped making mechanisms that turn in the opposite direction of the driving direction. This compact Wera ratcheting bit holder does just that. The ratchet direction knob turns in the same direction as the driving direction.Control placement is perfectly located to use your thumb and forefinger to set the direction and begin driving the bit in one motion. That is useful to get a fastener started until there is enough resistance to overcome the ratchet’s back drag, and this Wera has extremely low back drag.The strong magnetic bit holder keeps the bit securely attached so it is not likely to remain attached to a fastener. The overall 4-inch length (not counting a bit) is compact enough to work in combined spaces.It’s a favorite small ratcheting bit holder.

Well made
Surprisingly small but very comfortable for someone like me with large hands. Allows you to feel how much torque you are applying so you don’t strip out screws. PosiDrive bits I ordered fit nice and snug in the holder.

This tool is a keeper
My opinion, there is not a finer tool. This is a very good and quality product. The price is very fair. I recommend it….It works and it lasts.

Awesome bag drag
I first got the 838 ra-m and there was just so much bit wobble which is to be expected but it was extreme. So when buying this one I set my expectations and got it for short double sided bits that had worked well in the 815. Well this bit holder is not half as deep as the 815 so the double sided bits don’t work but it is a fantastic little driver handle. I will still get use out of this bad boy so I’ll throw a #2 Phillips on it and throw it in the glovebox.

Excellent EDC Screwdriver
First, I hope Wera starts making a full size screwdrivers with this ratcheting mechanism as it is far superior to the Kraftform Kompakt 27 RA.The size of this makes it perfect for an EDC kit but the function would make it a perfect everything screwdriver!

Good quality, ratchet feels a bit flimsy
Like the size and build quality

A nice COMPACT ratchet driver:
This is a ratcheting driver in a size that is rarely available. It is for work not requiring gorilla torque, but still gets the job done, and fits easily in my pocket. Wera brand quality. My personal fave in precision tools.
