Description
Sometimes great things do come in small packages! The LTT Stubby Screwdriver shares many of the same amazing features of the full-sized LTT Screwdriver in a much smaller format to make daily carrying easier than ever before. Thanks to the 4" length, you can even bring it on planes in the US & Canada!
The short stainless steel shaft features the same aggressive diamond knurling found on our full-sized driver, with a strong broach magnet to ensure your screws & bits stay in place. The internal bit storage has space for up to 6 20mm "shorty" bits, and our included bit set features the daily carry that we believe will suit you best - PH0, PH1, PH 2, SL4, SL6, and our popular magnet bit.
The ratchet is based on Megapro's long-standing & reliable design, but has been significantly modified to suit our needs. We reversed the ratchet direction (right for clockwise, left for anti-clockwise), adjusted the spring for lighter back-force which allows you to ratchet-drive even very small screws, and optimized for smoothness and quiet function. We've also significantly shortened the internal spline on the ratchet to fit the short format on the Stubby Screwdriver. It's rated for operation of up to 170 inch-pounds (20Nm) of torque. Due to its smaller size, the Stubby's ratchet may feel slightly different than your standard LTT Screwdriver, but it packs the same high performance in a much smaller footprint!
All external plastics are Triax 1120 - a Nylon and ABS polymer which is great for injection molding parts like ours - for its overall durability and chemical resistance.
Internal plastics in our ratchet are made from Delrin for its self-lubricating properties, and our ratchet housing is made from Zinc.
Our industrial-looking black phosphate-coated S2 steel bits are durable and rust resistant. (NOTE: Bits are a consumable item and will wear or break down over time. Visual wear to the black phosphate coating is normal and expected.)

Great little screwdriver, I would buy another one again without hesitation if I needed to. The only thing i've noticed is that the build quality of mine seems to be a bit subpar compared to my "regular" LTT screwdriver which has an amazing fit and finish.
This and the retro screwdrivers are the best ones I have ever owned.
It's exactly what I asked for. If i had one criticism, it seems like the ratcheting mechanism is a little more "stiff" than the regular screwdriver, but that may just be because I haven't used it that much yet.
The stubby screwdriver works just as well as the full-size does when working. The only downside is it does not spin as well as the full size one does. I honestly bought the stubby to keep in my pocket as a fidget but I can’t get it to spin and click as well as the fullsize. This is probably due to my fat fingers. 4.5 stars
All in all a fantastic product, made with passion as one can tell. I would have put 4.5 star if possible. This is in the top 3 of my list for sure.
Pros:
- ratcheting back drag and precision is top notch, very smooth and better than anything else I've own. The only one I may prefer is the Hazet, but it's silent and non ratcheting.
- thank god the ratchet selector is on the good rotation side (I don't get why most other brands don't do it that way)
- Overall size is great, feets good in the hand
- the shape is also nice, with enough forms to feet well in the hand
- the back plate is nicely rotating and opens easy enough and has a satisfying feel/noise when closing
- The bit selection is nice
Cons (those are all to get closer to perfection :))
- the surface of the handle is too smooth, and could be more rubbery or have a bit more roughness to it or have some indents to improve the handling
- the back plate rotates easily when closed, which help when using the ratchet on the fixed position, and pushing with the plam on the plate while rotating (for fast action with fingers rotating), but when opened to do the bit selection it rotates less easily. Having an equal smoothness would be great if possible.
- for the scenario above when pushing with the palm while rotating on the fixed position, the back plate would benefit to be a bit more high and wide, so the portion of the orange plate could be a bit bigger and longer to be held easily by the palm.
- the magnet could be even stronger, like PB Swiss
- I also bought the extension, and I find the connection/tolerance could be better, like the chrome part could much closer/touch the screwdriver holding part, so there's no wobble. If the magnet was stronger that would also help.
- the tolerance of the bits and extension with the bit holder could be better. As an example, the tolerance of Vessel is great, and when using your extension on their ratcheting screwdriver, the thing is super solid, no wobble at all. So may be the bit holdercould have slightly smaller wall size inside.
Once again, a great product, very close to perfection, huge congrats to the team !
