Very interesting. That bit holder looks very similar to a Tone design, the idea being that with normal/short bits you can pull *back* on the magnet to disengage it and make the bit easier to pull out
amzn.to/41wFfm7 this is an affiliate ink if you choose to use it. I don’t love the included driver but the bits are the smallest double sided I’ve come across.
I got one of the preorders too. I love it so far. It seems very solid and well built.
I've been using the leatherman ratchet driver for a few years now and I love it works very well thanks for sharing this with us
The Leatherman is a very solid choice! Currently the 711L has my heart but the Leatherman is no slouch
I'm looking forward to seeing how the ratchet holds up...
Thank you for sharing. Amazon doesn’t have them in stock right now but I’ll definitely try one when they are available.
I’ve reached out to 711L and will update their timeline for restock if I hear anything!
very cool ive carried my leatherman rachet for over a yr maybe close to 2 yr i love it
hadn't seen these yet, very cool.

Great point I wasn’t sure of the design choice but pretty sure you nailed it!
Nice one!
What about draggin force? Most ratchet screwdrivers have too much drag when screwing a metal screw to metal orifices (electronics parts).
The backdrag is slightly more on average with the 711L, about 35%, but it can handle more torque.
What's the price difference???
Leatherman is currently 39.95 usd on their site and I believe the 711L will be approximately 50 usd. I pre-ordered the 711L for 40 usd
Where are the stubby bits from?
