Overview
A ratcheting wrench is not what this is; the category label misleads. Instead, a hex shank on a magnetic tip drives fasteners, and the alloy steel body carries the torque from the tool to the screw head.
A magnetic tip holds the fastener on the bit while it is started, which helps in overhead or one-handed work. The limitation is the label confusion and the single piece supplied: it covers the listed hex sizes only.
Who it's for
A toolbox that already holds a driver handle or power tool with a hex shank gets a spare magnetic tip here. Shoppers who need to turn nuts or bolts with a wrench head should look at a real wrench, because this item is a bit.
Pros and cons
- Magnetic tip holds fasteners
- Alloy steel construction
- Hex shank fits standard chucks
- Application listed for industrial use
- Single piece only
- Not a wrench despite the category
- Torque rating not listed
Performance notes
The magnetic tip pulls the fastener to the bit and holds it for starting. Alloy steel resists twisting under the load of a power tool, and the hex shank locks into a matching chuck so the bit does not slip while driving.
