Is there such a thing as a GOOD ratcheting screwdriver? And does anyone make bits that can manage to outlast a small box of screws?

It's not 1960

>The length of a wretchet screwdriver
>I use torque settings 1 and 2 to install motherboards, it's great
>3-5 are perfect for screwing metal screws I to plastic housings
>12 and unlimited I have literally used to spinstart a 195cc lawnmower
I often use this on computer shit but try to stick to a hand screwdriver, more than once I forgot to turn the torque back down and stripped something because I'm a drunk moron.

But establish checks before your oil the trigger
DeWalt 12v screwdriver is goat
20v impact driver with discipline is second
I like to feel the screw.
I get that and will use a manual driver when I know something is fragile. However I don't use a ratcheting one, just a standard one.
Look dude, idfk what youre doing where youre stopping bit out at a rate of 1 bit per 20 screws it's hand tools and wanting to feel the screw but sometimes not adding up here
I'd like to watch you work so they we can get to the bottom of this
They're two different questions. Sometimes I want to feel the screw and other times I want to bury a handful of deck screws in succession without predrilling.
Explain what you mean by feel the screw, I don't really not feel a screw with the drill or screwdriver, to I have no problem seating the bit in the screw
>Deck screws
You want an impact driver and use impact bits.

How is this any different from a drill?
It's got a 1/4 hex drive instead of a chuck, like an impact driver
Also their drill will break your wrist whereas this thing will probably just sprain it,
It's basically a drill but it's pretty small
The 20v drill is fairly heavy when your trying to do delicate work, so this is my go-to when I'm actually meeting an effort to not wreck things so the impact driver is out of the question, the 20v impact driver is my main goto
But you could just put a hex drive adaptor into a regular impact driver rather than buying a much less general purpose tool.
Impact drivers come with the same 1/4 hex drive
And yes, but once again this is light
Granted there's a 12v drill and the entire lineup is pretty redundant, I prefer this thing when I'm working on stuff.
I wanted the 20v drill, and it's by far my least used tool out of the set. I use it for spin starting lawnmowers, not the screwdriver, screw driver still only do it when fully charged
12v screwdriver had old fashion clicky torque limiter that instantly cuts out
20v drill has a digital feedback torque limiter that has a delete and doesn't quickly cut power which will strip screw holes
On the 20v drill, the torque adjuster is for your safety, not the works.
>GOOD ratcheting screwdriver
Unless you want to larp as a 30's era repair man, get an electric screw gun or at worst a in line electric screw driver.
Milwaukee one and get #1 and #2 phillips head bits from Wiha. A bag of 20 bits is like $10.
