I'm a 67 year old grandmother who gets pretty involved in do-it-yourself projects, everything from rewiring a lamp to putting in a new wainscoated bathroom. This screwdriver is a godsend. I always have the right bit now to do almost all jobs without having to search around for a particular screwdriver, so I no longer have all those different drivers cluttering up my toolbox. At my age, with a bit of arthritis starting to effect me, this driver is much easier on my wrist because I don't have to continuously change my grasp. The only drawback, and it is a minor one, is that the bits are sometimes a bit difficult to remove from the storage handle, again, a result of the arthritis, I'm sure. All in all, This driver is a very good value for the non-professional. It is now the only screwdriver I use.

I got this ratcheting screwdriver because of the size and the price. I'd always used my friend's craftsman (which has the same clk/ccw selection apparatus) and I loved it, but I wasn't willing to shell out 30 bucks for ascrewdriver. This driver rocks my socks off! the handle fits my hand perfectly, the shaft length is great (everything else on amazon in this price range seemed too short), and the magnetic bit locking system works so well... it actually locks the bits in!
The bits that coms with the driver are the same quality as the dewalt bits that I've got, and the handle actually stores up to 8 bits internally (so you can add some of your own as this only comes with 6). I actually like this better than the craftsman, and think it's going to make the greatest stocking stuffer this coming christmas.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a ratcheting screwdriver, this is the one for you. It's durable, functional and comfortable!
UPDATE:
I have now had this screwdriver for over a year and still use it almost daily. The "locking" function has broken, but the magnet is strong enough that losing bits isn't a problem.
For christmas my wife got me the Kobalt dual action ratcheting screwdriver (at $20!). As good as kobalt is and as nice as its features are, the Stanley feels more solid. The handle holds bits in seperate columns (whereas the Kobalt just has a hollow handle with no possibility of orginization) and the magnet in the tip for holding the bit in use is much stronger.
This screwdriver has proven that it's durable, versatile and comfortable. I just ordered more to give out to my buddies when they come over to help me with my car. Still five stars strong!

This is a good all purpose ratcheting screwdriver and all that but the product description misled me. While the end of the screwdriver has a magnetic locking mechanism to hold the bits, that's where the magnetism ends. The magnet is not strong enough to magnetize the bit so the bits will not hold a screw. It's too bad for me because I wasn't interested in the ratcheting function as much as I was in getting a magnetic screwdriver with multiple bits. If this is what you're looking for, look elsewhere.

Stanley Ratching Screwdriver
Perfect screw driver for small odds and ends jobs around the house. The different sized bits are conveniently stored in the top cap. Recommended for light duty jobs.

Stanley - As good as tools get!
Hard to beat anything this company makes, and surprisingly, I do not find them over-priced. Given the choice, I would always grab a Stanley, although they do have serious... Read more

Clicks too far apart. Not a professional tool
This tool is good, but clicks are too far apart. It means you have to twist your hand far back before it clicks in order to advance. Read more

OK tool
Wasn't quite what I was looking for. The bits are locked in the tool so can't fall out but the magnet is not strong enough to hold a screw in place.
