LEATHERMAN Ratchet Driver, Fits Flat Bits and Standard 1/4 Inch Hex Bits

Works great with my Leatherman MUT. All my bits fit in it and the ratchet works perfectly. Bits don’t fall out due to the magnet inside the socket, and your leatherman’s bit-holder bites into this perfectly and will not let go. There’s a little play, but that’s probably for the best as if the tolerances were too tight using this would be a chore. My only recommendation is to give the collar of the ratchet portion a spot of lube, give it a few turns, wipe it off, then repeat with the ratchet set in the opposite direction as out of the box it is quite loud to operate. This makes the teeth inside buttery smooth and nearly in-audible. It fits perfectly into any of the leatherman sheathes. Wish it came in FDE or Black but that’s just an aesthetic thing. It does exactly what it’s supposed to, nothing more, nothing less.

Works very well. Ratchet teeth are precise and plentiful. Item fits perfectly into the leather man surge case along with extra bits and saw blade. Really compliments the surge well and I find that the ratchet effect is far easier than trying to turn the entire tool with the classic bit extender. Works well for household tasks and I do not doubt the durability of this tool. I have no issue with the item being made in Taiwan, as Taiwanese steel is excellent and the majority of tools are also made there. I would prefer something made in the US, but it is a non issue for something so small and of such high quality. Know the limitations and use the right tool for the job, as in don’t overturn it and it shouldn’t break as some seem to worry about or suggest. I do make sure to lock the ratchet mechanism before replacing it in the leather man sheath, which I feel may prolong the tools lifespan. Overall it is an excellent tool and if it were to break in 3+ years out of warranty I would happily purchase a new one to replace it. I also really appreciate that it will work with standard bits just in case, but I do not expect to need the feature. Overall I would highly recommend this tool and I appreciate the design as it compliments my leather man surge. Unless you are planning on abusing it I would recommend it over the classic but drive extender tool, despite the short warranty period.

Well made and very handy! Cant recommend it highly enough! It IS expensive though, as is everything with Leatherman these days. It works great though!

Great tool unfortunately very easy to lose since it doent fit in the leatherman when folded

yes it all wobbles a bit. but it really works well and with the drill bit set gives you a toolbucket for most tasks in a small but mighty package. It's solid, and not hard to do fine tasks with even with the give. I've used it with surge so far most notably for wild computer hardware situations. This with the bits and some sheath makes the leatherman suit most needs I bet. I have a wave, not a wave+ but I'll note that for fine tasks this would go well with the wave+ to get in small spaces, but the driver offsets you enough that the surge works great too.

TL;DR: I am a fanatic about the excellent Leatherman ratcheting bit driver and recommend it to anyone who will even ocasionally use it. There are 2 small caveats. I am an electronic access control technician by trade, auto and FAA A&P mechanic by training and thus remove and install fasteners of all kinds multiple times daily. I bought my ratcheting bit driver over a year ago and have used it almost every working day since and use it at home regularly as well. I absolutely love this tool and rate it among one of my favorite tool purchases ever. My Leatherman Wave+ goes everywhere I go and has been an absolutely essential everyday item for me for years. I loved having a Philips bit in my pocket at all times but found the flat profile of the Leatherman bits to limit it's ultimate usefulness. A coworker informed me of the ratcheting bit driver that adapted to my Wave+ and before he even had time to Google it I had one on order. I also ordered the holster with the side sheath so that I could carry the Leatherman and the bit driver right on my belt while at work. This combination has replaced most of my tool bag for 90% of my daily work responsibilities. The ratchet is very high quality for the price. Certainly not the same quality as my Snap-On or Matco ratchets, but of course I didn't expect that from a $30 ratchet. Bear in mind that it's not intended to compete at that level and if you have high quality ratchets from other manufacturers, you know how much they can cost even for 1/4" drive. Unsure of tooth count, but it's more than enough to be useful in the majority of applications without issue. The magnet is quite strong and confidently holds the bits. Being able to adapt any 1/4" but onto my Leatherman at any time has absolutely changed my working life. I love this tool and can't recommend it more highly. That being said, there are 2 caveats: There are a few reviews citing the use of plastic materials. The only plastic part is the directional control ring. Otherwise, the ratchet and teeth are both stainless and have stood up to pretty significant torque and daily use over the past 13 months of ownership. The plastic direction control ring has developed a hairline crack that I'm sure will require a warranty claim at some point but has not affected my use of the tool in the months since I first identified it. 2nd caveat relates to the depth of the bit reciever. A standard 1" apex bit will sit just below the chamfered shoulder which, depending on application, can limit access to certain fasteners. I believe this is due to its other intended application with the actual Leatherman brand flat profile bits. A tad annoying in some situations, but I have circumvented this by buying 2" bits of my most commonly used types and haven't had any clearance issues since. Aside from those 2 items, I have been absolutely thrilled with the quality and performance of the bit driver and would instantly purchase another were it to break or get lost.

Works great but it is not suitable for strong force

Great product and service!

Ottima per leatherman e anche altri utensili. Utilissimo

This turns the Leatherman into a great screw driver with the bits attachment

i have been using this ratcheting bit driver for my bike and motorcycle when i go around and i could say that it can torque a lot even with rusty jammed bolts.

Works well for what it is. It’s great as an edc accessory, but if you’re working on a real project then stick with a dedicated ratchet driver. I’ve only used it several times so I can’t comment as yet on durability. Definitely compliments your Leatherman Charge (or any Leatherman that has the bit accessory adaptor.). There is some horizontal ”play” at the attachment point which I was not expecting, but this has no effect on the ratchet’s performance. Overall, I would recommend this item.

Helpful tool.
