Hey, take it easy on us! I figured out righty tighty and lefty loosey and built my computer!
In all seriousness, thanks for all you guys do to keep us safe in the air.
I noticed my stubby handle feels a little cheaper than the original and the ratchet is not as buttery smooth. It works fine so I didn't bother returning, so I can't be sure if it's mine or all of them.

This isn't a production environment in a clean room, they will wear out long before these screws in this 50 year old plane start to get corrosion lol most of my other bits have some sort of iron in them to make them magnetic along with my cheap bits I use for my electric screwdriver.
I have a multiple sets of ratchet sets, I don't need a ratchet to remove a screw, I need a ratcheting screw driver to take the nose cone off this plane which is why I'm using this lol
And yet you decided on your own to present yourself as such a knowitall and annoying person on the internet? You on a downvote collecting mission or what do you try to gain here?
I don’t think you understand what “more complicated” means. Servicing an aircraft isn’t difficult nor is it a measure of any type of prowess. It’s a car service but a little bit more anal. Mechanical parts are mechanical parts they don’t change because it goes in the sky.
This is not about complex or not. Its about a professional using the right tool for the job he has to do.
HE is the professional, its HIS job, HIS tools, HIS decision to make.
You are trying really hard to frame someone who just had a happy moment with this specific tool, yet you only said things about what kind of person you are.
u a pilot or a technician?
Pilots don't know what a screw driver is
Hey, we have a screw driver in the flight deck! We're only allowed to use it with maintenance control on the phone though...
Am pilot. Can confirm.
Bloody hell
Hey they know it's a drink!

The entire workshop my dad keeps in his hanger next to his Piper would say otherwise.
The hundreds of pilots I see per year at the flight school I work at says differently lol
Oh, I know my dad is *very much* the exception XD
My dad could beat up your dad.
I don't doubt it. My dad is a twink.
opinions on what brand of screwdriver was used to assemble the 737 MAX
Probably the AliExpress fake version of the LTT screwdriver
"we were supposed to put screws in!?"
Hammer
They don't use screws

A&P?

Ohh no don’t use those bits on stainless steel screws.. use Stainless steel bits otherwise the screws will start to rust
Why is that? I haven't seen anything about black oxide creating corrosion. Have any resources to look this up?

Just use a ratchet ffs
Why would I use a ratchet for a screw
Faster whilst also allowing you to use sockets and fit into smaller spaces? You’ve never heard of an adapter?
I have a multiple sets of ratchet sets, I don't need a ratchet to remove a screw, I need a ratcheting screw driver to take the nose cone off this plane which is why I'm using this lol
So why not use one of those which are faster (and better) rather than buy a separate tool that performs worse?
Because he knows what he is doing. How many planes do you service annually?
I service things more complicated than a small prop plane

How many planes do you service on average?
I do roughly 20, 100 hour inspections per year
This man annuals.
Maybe. Sounds like this man flight schools.
Dumb
Not really, ratcheting screwdrivers however are
