The old man was chuntering on that you can't buy "normal" ratchet screwdrivers anymore and you can only buy the multibit ratchet
handles with the slot in bits, that are "no good when your up a ladder and only have 2 hands lad" so does anyone know where I can get a flat
blade a philips and a pozidrive ratchet screew driver, what with fathers day approaching?
Many thanks in advance
does he mean yankee type screwdrivers?
Not the speed driver push pull ones. but the standard ratchet screewdrivers (put ratchet screwdriver into google image) but without the changable tips

why not get him two ratchet screw drivers - then he can choose what bits to put in before he goes up the ladder - might be useful if one is small
pozzi and one large!
(or just glue the bits in)
if hes your dad then he should be in his forties at least wats up with him us old uns go no hands up ladders, health and safety's a new thing

On that kind of I would never even think of using anything but cordless driver with a double ended reversible bit.

You're not wrong, my dad's in his 60's and still scampers up and down precariously balanced ladders. I really wish he wouldn't though.

I have old Stanley ratchet drivers. Maybe they still do them!

I have to admit, where i read 'What happened to Ratchet Screwdrivers?' my main thought was 'There crap..' both the ratchet type (that ive only ever seen with interchangeable bits) and the yankey type which are just waiting for you to stick the screwdriver through the work peice.
