Williams WRS-1 Magnetic Ratcheting Screwdriver

I bought this screwdriver after looking at Project Farm review (including LTT's new screwdriver) wasn't disappointed and does what I need it to do. Feels really great. Williams and Snap On are from the same parent company and from what I heard, this is made in the same factory as Snap On just for the average consumer which is great for me.

Maybe not as fancy as the LTT screwdriver but at a fraction of the price it is fantastic. The ratcheting is smooth, very little backdrag. It's pretty barebones, but the important parts are solid.

This is an amazing ratcheting screwdriver. I actually asked my Snap-On dealer about it, and he confirmed that it’s essentially a Snap-On tool, just sold under the Williams name. Even the bits included are Snap-On branded, with the Snap-On logo on the side. The handle is very comfortable and provides excellent grip, even during longer jobs. The special Snap-On bits it comes with are top-tier quality — especially the #2 Phillips, which has that extra-grip design. You can really feel the difference compared to standard bits, as it reduces cam-out and holds screws much better. Functionally, this screwdriver feels and performs exactly like the Snap-On version, but at a significantly lower price. I would 100% recommend this over the Snap-On branded one if you want the same quality without paying the premium. The only downsides were small details. Packaging was very minimal — it arrived in a simple zip-lock bag with no box or protective packaging. Also, there was a sticker on the handle that wasn’t fully removed, though this is minor and doesn’t affect use. Other than that, it’s an excellent tool. I even modified mine by adding a 3D-printed bit holder to the back of the handle, which keeps the bits from rattling around — works great. Overall, a high-quality professional tool that performs exactly as it should.

This is arguably one of the best ratcheting screwdrivers on the market. Don't be fooled by the low tooth count or the lack of a fancy bit carousel, the WRS-1 runs silky-smooth and has such low back drag that it's just plain enjoyable to work with. There's a reason why it and the Snap-on hard handle one - which is the same screwdriver with a different handle and knurling on the shaft - keep selling and selling and selling. It's a simple no-fuss ratcheting screwdriver that just works and does so really, really well.

This is one of the best purchases of the year. I love the powerful magnets.
