I've been using my vessel tang-thru as my main for a few years, love the weight on it and I don't have to carry around anything but the bits and adapters. Was walking through Harbor Freight earlier today and came across this thumb ratchet. I was thinking hey, if I could figure out an adapter for that I can turn my vessel into a ratcheting screwdriver with a modular attachment.

Problem is, I can't find anything like a male to female 1/4 square to square (female on both ends). I could cut a longer bit and use the hex bit drive end then attach a female to hex bit adapter like a tekton to it, but that's an extra piece.

Anyone out there have an alternate solution?

what kind of recordings do you get out of that microphone

Mostly screwing sounds, occasionally nutting.

What? So are you looking for male to female or female to female?

Okay guys I have a couple of rusty ones that won't budge. How do I unscrew them

I found a female to female from bahco, it's like $30 so yea, fuck that. There's literally no other option commercially available that I've found.

So what I'm going to do is cut the tip off a spare 3" bit and use the hex shank into the bit holder on one side. That leaves me the 1/4 square drive open for either a nut or a 1/4 sq to bit holder like a wera or tekton.

So now I have nice stubby ratchet for tight spaces, a standard screwdirver with the vessel, or I can combine the two and have a ratcteting screw/nut driver all for $20 (minis adapter which is like $5 or $20 for a wera).

I could have just gone with a regular ratcheting screwdriver, but I love the weight of the tang thru. Anyway, I'll post a pic when it's done. Just need to break out the hacksaw and a file.

Hence the use of the tang-thru, you can usually tap it in further to get a better bite to unscrew. This usually works. Depending on what the screw is in, you can also drill them out, or if not you need a screw extractor.
