- amzn.to/3Gd8JZw The Vessel Ratcheting Ball-head Stubby Screwdriver really delivers the options and size with both a full-length #2 Phillips, and a pop-off mini ratcheting stubby bit driver. For the price, this driver is hard to beat.

I was definitely one of the people telling you to check this out I'm glad you did! I really like this for screws in tapped holes, there's too little resistance to use the ratchet when starting the screw so it's nice you can spin the ratchet with your fingers when the screw is looser
Oh my god that is awesome! It's a a well thought design and it really shows when you use it,it seems.
I'm ordering one right now and see what it feels like myself.
I usually like Vessel products, but this ratchet has a lot of play and uses this proprietary tips. Also this ratchet is no made in Japan. I recommend you try ANEX ratchet that is Japan made. 😃🤝
@@MeuReview I've got a small 90 degree ratcheting bit holder, very nice
Does it have a lock position? ( no ratcheting)
@@nachoismeyes it does 👍
Your channel is expensive to watch. Every time I tune in I’m buying something. Great review
I like Vessel products, really like them. Living in Germany, i got access to all PB Swiss, Wera, Wiha, Hazet etc. and Vessel is quite hard to get for me, bit pricy when imported but still love it. Even though JIS bits are not made for our screws, I still prefer it over standard Phillips
@@htr5372 thanks, good to know!
That one with the yellow ring is made in Thailand. Vessel recently moved production, check the lable. The one with the grey ring are the last ones made in Japan.
Annex makes this exact ball grip style with a 72T mechanism.
And Vessel No. TD-6700W-23 is a stubby clear handled 72T mechanism. There's also a full sized handle 72T.
Love the channel!
I have the Vessel and Anex 72T side by side, and it is night and day - the Anex is SO much better. Tight tolerance, virtually no slop when locked, super smooth action with way more teeth - and you aren't locked into proprietary shafts/tips. The Vessel feels plasticky and downright cheap in comparison
Actually these are made to DIN 5260-PH / ISO 8763-1 standards, and are also known as being JIS-compliant or "beyond JIS". The JIS standard no longer applies to screwdrivers. These work best with JIS screws and way better than Phillips drivers with Phillips screws.
I have a few Vessel drivers..never knew about this..grabbed it...Thank you!👍
Excellent review, I see there different versions on Amazon. Glad you mentioned the version.
Not long picked me up that exact screwdriver. Have to say for the money it’s a great piece of kit and more so having the stubby feature as well is a massive bonus. Great content as always
Have this and love the vessel stuff. Another feature is you can buy different length ( and shape, i assume) shafts and interchange them with the same ratcheting head.
So weird I just learned about this brand and was going down this rabbit hole and you posted this video at the same exact time. The algorithms are frightening, the video is great. Ordered some vessel bits this evening.
Just got it off Amazon for $13.10 11/15/2022 . Looking forward to getting this screwdriver . Thanks Doc .
I love the bahco ratcheting drivers. Got the stubby and the full. They're phenomenal. But my regular screwdriver set is the vessel wood composite set. Great metal.
Thanks for this review. Got one! Decided to pair this with my DEWALT Bit Set with 6-in-1 Flip and Switch Driver System for even more vesitility
This is my favourite screwdriver
Cool! Just picked it up for $18. Cheap for such a nice ratcheting screwdriver.
I only found out about the vessel due to the electronic insulated screwdriver. Fell in love with them and my screw drivers are normally german.
I ordered one from your link and love it. Then ordered some replacement blades. Just saw JB Tools has the 5 pack with 3 Phillip and 2 Flat rachets for only $75 so might order that as well. The magnet is crazy strong.
Many ratcheting stubbys are just way too long to make sense, so this is nice to see.
Woahh I thought about buying one of these a few years back but I was like it’s not really a stubby though, never knew it was two pieces.
I thought the ball was a gimmick, but it's really comfortable.
Ive been looking at their non ratcheting screwdrivers as an electrician as a bit beefier option, but still the ball end type to reduce fatigue a a little. Seems like a good design to avoid RSIs like carpal tunnel. Their MEGADORA line looks PHENOMENAL though, especially the tang through models for really beating the crap out of them. I have a ratcheting wera multibit for majority of my screwing, but its alwauys good to have a couple of fixed shank non ratcheting ones to compliment a multibit in a hand tool collection. Might grab those ratcheting ballends for home tho!
Love these things.
Wow! Amazing for the price.
Wow, Vessel ! I’d forgotten all about them , somewhere I have a “Yankee” style spiral drive screwdriver made by them, it’s a bloody good driver but batteries have rather overtaken it. Loved it though
I’ve come back to this, my Vessel “yankee” was made in Czechoslovakia, or somewhere behind the old iron curtain anyway !
If they ever release a bit-holding version, I'm definitely buying one.
My thoughts exactly 💯!
Yea I really don't understand why the don't have a bit holding extension. Honestly they could even add a 4mm bit holding extension and this should make a pretty good precision screwdriver too
They do have one. Model number is 2200MBH120 😁
I'm thinking that this is one of the best tools to have around the house for all your screw-driving needs. And I'm talking from the every-day-joe perspective. This, I think, is a very solid choice for a toolkit everybody should have around the house. This or the 2200BHM (the one with the magnetic bit holder). I'm looking forward to get one for myself!
Looks neat! You should post the links to those other screwdriver options you show in the video.
I like Vessel screwdrivers, especially the JIS ones, but I wish there was more consistency in the handle colours - they seem to go all over the place, and they're not colour-coded for drive type, so if you have Vessel flat tips, JIS and Pozidriv (as I do), you can't tell at a glance which is which. Sort it out, Vessel!
I definitely need to try one. I didn't realize at first that you could just pull the shaft off, so that's really nice. As far as the extremely tight fit, I don't believe that's actually a drawback. You can definitely still remove the bit with your fingers, and I think it's tight because they intentionally made the tolerances that way so you wouldn't have bit wobble.
Hadn't seen this. Surprised by the number of comments. Apparently folks are interested in Vessel. I have a few of the individual ball-head 'drivers, non-ratcheting. They're cool. I like screwdrivers and the essentially the only ones that I use these days are hex. Kinda dull.
If you're interested in doing a comparison with another Japanese ball grip driver there is a similar one from a company called ANEX. It has a 72 tooth ratchet and it remains a full size driver even when swapping out bits. I've been meaning to pick one up, but I just have a lot of screwdrivers already so it's never been a priority. To me being able to use standard bits (though I believe they need to be 2" long to reach the bottom of the holder) to swap out is worth the trade off of not having it convert to a stubby.
Very Cool !
I noticed that, toward the end of the video, you made the comment that the Snap-On had fewer teeth in the ratchet than the Vessel. My take is that tooth count is far less important in a ratcheting screwdriver than an actual ratchet. That being said, my favorite ratcheting screwdriver is the Vessel TD-68XX series which has 72 teeth. And, the related TD-67XX series is stubby.
Clear handle...?
I'm gonna miss Japan so much!
Nice one too. I've been looking for the PB Swiss stubby with the bits for a while now. It's still out of stock on Amazon. :(
now makes me curious a lot of images from Vessel JP still has the gray ratcheting ring so what makes the 2 different? I bought 2 copies of it from the local retailer for vessel and they also come with the yellow ratchet ring... hmmm
Is there any slop? How is the back drag?
Look up the vessel Rib bit on E bay. Get the black ones. Thank me later. Yes they are better than pb Swiss bits and yes they are expensive but only come in Phillips #2. They have the most innovative and unique head design I’ve ever come across. The steel even tougher than pb
Put some grinding compound in it
Buy it quick,,the price goin up!
I want.
JIS is great. I don't bother with Phillips or pozi, JIS fits both better.
I love Vessel stuff. They are like the only people who still make JIS style drivers. Must have if working on Japanese cars.
Does anyone know if the stubby portion has a magnet in it, that can hold the screw onto the bit ?
If Vessel makes it I love it! (Except "Vessel US" I dont care for their items. It says they're still made in Japan, but that obviously doesn't mean they're as good as the ones in Japan.)
Isn’t it magnetised, this is the reason its hard to pull out the bits? Maybe.
Why doesn’t Vessel use 1/4” insert JIS bits?
The ANEX version of this ratcheting ball driver costs a tad over 20 bucks and it's waaay better than the Vessel.
are you sure, this is a philips bit? as far as i know, vessel marks their jis cross point drivers somewhat confusingly with "P." followed by the number for the size. i am not 100% sure, so if someone could clear things up, that would be great. a jis driver should work well in a philips screw, though (the other way around unfortunately not).
Awesome design but needs to have more flat sides so it doesn't roll off the workspace.
I tried ordering it from your link but then it makes me type in my email and password whereas if I just go to my amazon app I can order it , so I placed the order but feel bad that I couldn’t give you the commission
I hate to say it, but the harbor freight ratcheting stubby multi bit driver is surprisingly good.
Pittsburgh??
Thanks doc! Another solid review. I'm definitely intrigued by the design. They have the same shape as old cabinet maker screw drivers, with round instead of oval handles.
My 2 Minute review of their Crystaline ratcheting drivers. The regular length is not a good value. Cheap bits, weak magnet and sloppy mechanism. The stubby has a much better mechanism but only a ball detent and the bit holder is too long for extra tight work. It also only really accepts 33 mm bits and not c6. It comes with a flexible extension and a bit holder that is handy. The stubby is made in Japan, the regular is made in Vietnam.
Wishing they did POZI driver bits… they only do Phillips heads and a Japanese JIS bits which here in the U.K. JIS bits are only good for working on Japanese cars or air conditioning units… So if people here import a set they will have drivers that aren’t getting any use.
Buy the driver and wiha or Vera pozi drive bits. It's not a problem
Correct me if I’m wrong but Vessel’s ratcheting stuff is made in Taiwan.
Not sure about ratcheting stuff, but I have regular ball grip and it says made in Thailand
I wish they'd made it so the screw driver bits themselves fit INTO the secondary driver bit portion as well, and not JUST into the stubby portion. That way you can order this and have the better use of that grippy bit portion for any changeable bit type or size. But as it is, this was purpose engineered so you'd have to buy their bits if you want that functionality. This'll be a pass from me just for that reason. Anex makes what I'm talking about, it's the exact same functionality, but better, with a far better ratcheting driver (finer, better feeling teeth) and you can use your own bits.

it's $32 on amazon by jan 2023
$12 now
Long “ Stubbies “ are a bit like a Football Bat !
Not bad but the fact you can’t change out the bits is a deal breaker for me.
It is JIS #2 not PH2 common mistake
Vessel drivers use JIS tips, not the standard phillips. They are far superior. You can use a JIS driver in a phillips fastener, but should never use a phillips driver in a JIS fastener. I have several that I was issued in 2001 to repair Japanese made machinery and after years of abuse at home they're still perfect. I don't think I've ever stripped a fastener with these drivers. I'll have them for life and you won't be disapointed if you buy them.
Well it's Japanese what do you expect... Second to none in quality, honor, craftsmanship, Kaizen.
Nice doc! I did a vid on this one a couple weeks ago check it out! Your insight is appreciated nice vid!
O like vessel a lot. Other japanese brand, Anex have a much better ratchet like this. Check that
It’s made in Thailand not Made in Japan
If you get the chance to try INBUS Flow 73424, I've recently got it and I'm amazed by how nice it is for 30 euro. I haven't seen it at none of the usual TH-cam tool channels, I'm curious if its a hidden gem or it has some flaw that I'm missing. Looking forward on your thoughts on it.
Bit retainer is a ring, not a magnet. I would rather have magnet.
