Williams JHWWRS-1 Magnetic Multi-bit Ratcheting Screwdriver, 9-Inch

This screwdriver is honestly one of the best values I've found in a hand tool. Williams gives you that Snap-on level of quality and feel without the Snap-on price, which makes this an easy recommendation.The variety of bits makes it incredibly useful, and I find myself reaching for it more often than my standard screwdrivers. It feels extremely sturdy, the grip is comfortable, and the 9-inch size is just about perfect for getting good leverage without feeling cumbersome.The magnetic tip works great and holds everything securely when you need it. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth and makes repetitive work much easier as well.I've used plenty of other screwdrivers, including non-Williams models, and this one has quickly become my favorite. **5/5** for quality, versatility, ergonomics, and value. It genuinely feels like a premium professional tool at a much more reasonable price.

I bought this screwdriver because i am a curious guy and i heard this is a clone of a snap-on screwdriver which cat also makes a version of so i bought all three. Screwdriver is the same. The cat and williams are are identical, everything about them is the same, the grip the ratcheting mechanism, the lids, the only outlier is the snapon has a slightly more defined grip with harder edges, other than that all three are very much so the same. I would never use another screwdriver after using these, its just the best of the best. Its comfortable, strong and will never skip a tooth.

This (and the near-identical Snap-on version) are the best ratcheting screwdrivers available. The ratcheting mechanism is silky smooth and brutally strong. My oldest one is 40 years old this year, and it still works exactly as well as the one I bought this year. If you want a bit-holder insert, there are many available to 3d print, but I like having the open space in the handle to hold 12 (twelve!) bits even if they rattle around a bit. The 5 included bits are made by Zephyr, and if you need other bits (you will) theirs are the best I've found. This is just a great, great product.

I gotta say, everyone saying this is a great alternative to the Snap-On or Linus Tech Tips aren't kidding. This thing is solid and has a very nice weight to it. Doesn't feel cheap despite the fact it cost half the price plus it just feels so good in the hand.The big thing is the ratchet and that right there is the real star of the show. It's so light and has such a nice subtle sound to it. The ring for changing directions is big enough that I can change it with one hand and just stiff enough to hold it in place during bumps.Really the only con I can give to this is the bit storage. The loose bits in the handle, while held securely with a screw on cap, leaves me wanting for a proper bit storage.TLDR:Pros- Great build quality- Comfortable grip- An amazingly light ratchet- Solid and weighty feel- Direction change easy to use one handedCons- Loose bits tossed into the handle for storageThis thing is an amazing value for what you get and if you've been looking for one that doesn't break the bank, I'd very much recommend this one.

The Williams ratcheting screwdriver was purchased for the tool kit on our sailboat, and though an excellent screwdriver for the many reasons, there are a couple things that make its sibling, Snap-on, better. First, the knurled portion of the shaft is missing on the Williams. Easy to dismiss, but used frequently on the Snap-on because it speeds up spinning in longer screws with only your thumb and index finger easily when there’s not enough friction to engage the ratchet. Also, the ratcheting directional collar is considerably more stiff and the back drag is higher than on the Snap-on, but it’s possible the Williams just requires break-in. Finally, the squared off handle on the Snap-on is more resistant to rolling while the Williams’ more cylindrical shape offers little resistance at all, annoying on any firm inclined surface, but problematic on a boat where it can easily roll overboard.

Like most, I got caught in the ratcheting driver hype, especially after the LTT videos. Although I have been wanting one for a few years. The LTT one was just too much for a relatively simple tool.This is a very well machined driver at a good price.Extremely smooth ratcheting action with little, yet predictable back-drag.Strong magnet, but not too strong that getting the bit in the fastener head is difficult. Just strong enough to hold any fastener. I have a Felo driver that has way too strong of a magnet, it pulls the driver towards the edge of the fastener and you have to fight with it every time.The hex shank is ground down nice and thin so it can fit in more recessed holes. Some drivers are pretty chunky.The threads on the storage cap are well designed, it threads on easily and has a gasket to keep out moisture and keep bits from rusting.Ergonomics of the handle are good, fits pretty nicely IMO.I don't hate the loose bit storage, it's pretty easy to just dump out, pick what you need, and funnel em back in. They do rattle when ratcheting horizontally, some might find that annoying.My only cons are that the direction selector is a bit stiff and there were some molding lines that needed to be scraped off with my fingernail, but those are very minor issues.Certainly the best multi-driver I've had to date, well worth the $34. Sorry LTT, would have liked to buy yours.

great did the job.

26 clicks per turn, ratcheting mechanism is as smooth as butter with little back drag. Magnet is plenty strong for holding and aligning bits. Smooth, tri-lobe handle allows easy pocketability and superior chemical resistance. Simple open storage easily accommodates 10 standard bits inside (5 included) and an o-ring seal on the screw cap keeps the bits clean and dry in all situations. If you don't like the open storage, there are free files for 3D printer bit carriers, but these carriers reduce the number of bits you can carry to 6. Overall, a professional, USA made tool for a fair price. Highly recommended.

Bargain Williams brand that’s made in Snapon USA factory. Bits have snap in logo. About 25% price of Snapon equivalent.Nice tool to use. Can change ratchet direction easily one handed.

Appears to be exactly the same as my older Snap On SS4DMR ratcheting screwdrivers albeit a few no big deal differences. The earlier style high vis orange and yellow handles have four sides and the Williams three sides both allowing high torque and great comfort. The fine cross hatch knurling close to the ratchet mechanism on the Snap On shaft has been omitted on the Williams, exactly the same tooling finish on the stainless steel shaft.What is noticeable and also very useful the back drag is noticeably lighter on this new driver and a definite plus with semi loose fasteners. Maybe it’s a manufacturing change across the board, my original drivers are now over 25 years old, still working great after many hours of service. The price is a no brainer and conclusion for either a serious DIYER or professional alike you definitely can’t go past what is a high quality USA product.

I bought this screwdriver after looking at Project Farm review (including LTT's new screwdriver) wasn't disappointed and does what I need it to do. Feels really great. Williams and Snap On are from the same parent company and from what I heard, this is made in the same factory as Snap On just for the average consumer which is great for me.

Buen desarmador, bastante versátil la funcionalidad de trinquete. Para mí día a día es fantástico.

This is an amazing ratcheting screwdriver. I actually asked my Snap-On dealer about it, and he confirmed that it’s essentially a Snap-On tool, just sold under the Williams name. Even the bits included are Snap-On branded, with the Snap-On logo on the side.The handle is very comfortable and provides excellent grip, even during longer jobs. The special Snap-On bits it comes with are top-tier quality — especially the #2 Phillips, which has that extra-grip design. You can really feel the difference compared to standard bits, as it reduces cam-out and holds screws much better.Functionally, this screwdriver feels and performs exactly like the Snap-On version, but at a significantly lower price. I would 100% recommend this over the Snap-On branded one if you want the same quality without paying the premium.The only downsides were small details. Packaging was very minimal — it arrived in a simple zip-lock bag with no box or protective packaging. Also, there was a sticker on the handle that wasn’t fully removed, though this is minor and doesn’t affect use.Other than that, it’s an excellent tool. I even modified mine by adding a 3D-printed bit holder to the back of the handle, which keeps the bits from rattling around — works great.Overall, a high-quality professional tool that performs exactly as it should.
