This Harbor Freight Tool Has Over 1700 5-Star Reviews, And It's Less Than $4

Harbor Freight is known for affordable tools for work and home projects, but not all of its items meet user expectations. There are some basic Harbor Freight hand tools that'll help with any home task, and the brand's hand tools are among its best items. This includes ratcheting screwdrivers — and if over 1,700 five-star reviews aren't enough to convince you to purchase the Pittsburgh 8-Piece Ratcheting Right Angle Multi-Bit Screwdriver Set, then perhaps its low price will. For $3.29, you get this screwdriver set that lets you get into the tightest spaces, since it only needs an inch of clearance. It has far more positive reviews than negative, so this could be an item worth checking out. Plus, this is a tool every homeowner should have.

At under $4, this handy tool might have you ready to run right to Harbor Freight to buy it, but it's important to note that those 1,767 five-star reviews are out of 2,283 total reviews. That means over 500 people gave it fewer than five stars, so looking at what people actually said about the ratcheting screwdriver may help you decide whether this is the right purchase for you.

When determining whether the Pittsburgh Ratcheting Right Angle Multi-Bit Screwdriver Set is right for you and your projects, consider the tool's size and performance. One thing to note, mentioned in a few reviews, is that this screwdriver requires more than 1 inch of clearance. One four-star reviewer said this item is "totally worth the $3" but noted that it requires 1.5 inches of clearance due to the drive tang.

Five-star reviewers think this ratcheting screwdriver is perfect and does just what they need it to do. One customer said, "This works excellent in tight spots. Used to tighten kitchen draw where a regular screwdriver doesn't fit. Used under car dashboard to remove a panel."

Note that this screwdriver isn't magnetic, so it won't hold screws in tight spaces, as one reviewer pointed out. While some people said theirs broke as soon as they used it the first time, the number of people who said it does the job well outweighs those naysayers. At a super-affordable price, you can buy four of these for the cost of one similar product, as Harbor Freight states on the item's sales page. So it may even be worth buying a couple. Plus, we know it's helpful to have a variety of screwdrivers for your DIY projects.
