PB 8510.R-100

This screwdriver is top notch quality. Though it needs bits, it works like a champ. The ratcheting action is far better than anything I've tried up until now, hands down. The price may seem high, but this tool will last forever, and will pay itself off in no time. The grip is great too, which is most important to me. You dont have to take my word for it though, buy one for yourself and see!

Fit and feel is perfect. Not too heavy, not too big, and the grip material has a nice finish to it. The plastic / rubber also doesn't get ruined easily over time. They seem to have the injection molding down to a science, the injection points are very clean and the seam between the two halves of the mold for the handle is absurdly clean. Clear representation of care and quality even with the most minute of details. The bits are of amazing quality and the coatings are very resistant to rust and corrosion, also they're very hard and resistant to any mistakes that would usually cause the ends of these to round a bit on the edges. Overall a great product, it does come at a hefty price but far better than what you would get from Snap-On or even some of the other competition within EU such as some of the german manufacturers.

Great screwdriver, the best feeling screwdriver I have ever used, or even touches. Very high quality and ratchet strength. Received as thoughtful gift, only problem is that I feel guilty using this screwdriver that costs 7x more expensive than my second favorite... :)

Well, if anybody uses German tools, you may know that some brands are fantastic for precision. The Swiss up the game with their entry and this PB Swiss Twister is a model of near perfection. This is a heavy ratcheted screwdriver. But the handle this company uses is probably the best material I have ever felt for a hand tool. It feels weird stating that, but check reviews and allot of users comment on this feature. The mechanism on this ratchet is seriously heavy duty. Maybe even overkill. I can see something like a high torque ratchet using something of this quality. But, I suppose this is in part, how PB Swiss forged their reputation. The action is smooth on this and overall feel in hand is unlike anything else I have. It’s ridiculously priced, but just once, I had to know. Unfortunately it made me empty my pockets further as now I wish all my drivers were like this. I added the smaller version and the T-bar to my collection. I’ll never use any of my old ones again unless I have no option. Also, the magnet on this is super strong to hold bits. Really strong. Anyways, last thing I want to point out, buying PB Swiss in Canada is awful. Very hard to find. So there are a couple of sellers on Amazon. But, I don’t know if they buy seconds, overstocks or what have you. Mine arrived in a simple plastic baggie. No retail packaging whatsoever. Another OB Swiss item from a different seller, same thing. I have seen videos that show PB Swiss does have decent retail packaging. But between Switzerland, the seller’s home country and Canada, somewhere the packaging vanishes. The item I got appears new as there isn’t a mark on the handle. But, the metal kind of seems oxidized. I think. Maybe it’s been sitting around a while? I don’t know, it is hard to tell, but I can’t say the metal shaft appears flawless and perfectly shiny when examined closely under a light. Anyways, if your thinking of buying this as a gift, I wanted you to know. You’ll need your own fancy gift box. This doesn’t come well presented. But, to conclude, this is still the best ratcheted screwdriver I’ve ever used. In this case, even without nice packaging, you get more quality for your money. Recommended.

This is the ultimate in quality that's so obvious when you hold this tool. It costs a small fortune and worth every penny, in my opinion!

Really impressed with PB Swiss quality. This feels great in the hand. The ratcheting movement is like a swiss watch. There is no play or wobble, just precise action in the ratcheting motion. I did not account for the size - it's a bit larger than I expected, but was so impressed I bought the next size down as well. Will ultimately add the ratcheting stubby and perhaps try the PB Swiss bits. Super product!

This is the best ratcheting screwdriver I have ever used. Little to no play, very smooth. Good magnet that holds onto the bits well. I also like that the shaft is slimmer than other models. This is helpful getting into certain spots. Obviously it will need to be larger than the standard 1/4" bit, but it isn't much bigger.

Haven't been motivated to write a review in a long time. Love PB swiss, but 2 of these came with play in the blade, I already own 1 100 and some 30mm and a stubby all ratcheting, none have any play in the blade, perfect. I wanted a 2nd 100mm and the 1st one had a LOT of play, 2nd one way less but still more than I found acceptable, none of my other PB swiss ratcheting screwdrivers have any play. For this much money you would expect that. Not sure if there are QC issues with the 100mm or just a bad batch, I have a 3rd replacement coming, hopefully 3rd time is a charm.

Amazing tool, love it. Just a shame that the price is so high. And if I was to pick on anything, its the fact that sometimes on full lock it will have a slight gear skip on one tooth. I believe its due to the internal mechanism design, and at which point you lock the ratchet mechanism that causes this minor issue.

A well made but expensive Swiss tool. Onboard bit storage would have been nice for convenience. The handle has the unique DB Swiss soft rubber grip which I like. The ratchet mechanism is very good, but does skip a tooth sometimes probably due to the gear pitch. The shaft feels sturdy with minimal wobble. Bit magnet is strong. If you're a keen tool enthusiast I would recommend it, however the price is about 25% too high imho. DB Swiss also makes a shorter shaft version as well.Unfortunately the tool I got appears to be a repack with some light dirt on the handle and a tiny gouge which I decided to live with rather than return. Probably wouldn't purchase from this particular seller again.

Very sturdy, nice feel in the hand, centre lock has no side wards play if engaged properly

Utilisation pour mes travaux électrique. Prise en main ergonomique, bon matériaux. Prix élevé.
