I've had a trio of Snap-On ratcheting soft grip screwdrivers for a year or more now and use them pretty much daily at work. I love them.
I figured I'd grab this GearWrench set if nothing else just for the extra interchangeable 1/4" square drive and flexible shafts that I can use with my Snap-ons and I'd be able to check out the ratcheting handles while I'm at it. I'm really surprised at just how nice these GearWrench handles are, especially considering the fact that this set comes with three ratcheting handles (stubby, standard, tee) and comes with a wider selection of interchangeable shafts than Snap-on even offers yet the whole set cost me less than even just the stubby Snap-on Ratcheting Screwdriver did by itself.
As far as the handles go they feel pretty similar in the hand with a few minor differences. The Snap-ons are just a tad heavier, their shape seems to offer a little bit better grip to my hands, and the interchangeable shafts fit a little tighter. If I lightly shake a Gearwrench back and forth in my hand I can hear and feel the shaft wiggling just a little, whereas the Snap-ons have very little if any such play. Also, the knurling on the Snap-on shafts is finer offering plenty of grip but slightly less abrasive feeling than knurling on the GearWrench shafts. That's a pretty petty difference though. Just the fact that the Snap-on and Gearwrench shafts are interchangeable with each other expanded my ratcheting screwdriver capabilities quite a bit. I've already made use of the square drive and flexible shafts on several occasions.
The GearWrenches all have a very smooth 45 fine tooth very similar to the Snap-on 5-position screwdriver. The Snap-on stubby and standard handles are 26 tooth. I really like the finer teeth as it makes it feel like you are getting slightly more rotation with each turn, but only time will tell how well the finer teeth hold up. The added convenience afforded by a finer tooth ratcheting mechanism can mean that it's not as strong or last as long but so far I have to say they have been working like a dream.
There is one main difference though that I didn't even notice at first, but the direction you turn the selector is opposite. With the Snap-on if I turn the selector clockwise the shaft is set to drive clockwise, in the same direction as the arrow on the handle. With the GearWrenches if I turn the selector clockwise the shaft is set to drive counterclockwise, opposite the arrow. The Snap-on's seem more intuitive, and I find myself taking an extra second or two to verify/adjust the selector with the GearWrenches. Another difference is is in how the end bit-storage caps fit onto the standard-size handles. The Snap-on's have just a 1/8 turn standard lefty-loosy / righty-tighty, whereas the GearWrench locks the cap when you turn in either direction and it must be positioned to the center to remove. This is likewise just a little more awkward than it is with the Snap-ons. With the GearWrench I find myself wanting/needing to look at the little notches in the handle and cap to line them up to remove the cap , but with the Snap-ons I could do it blindfolded all day long.
All in all, yeah, the USA-made Snap-Ons are a little better in most aspects, but only at several times the cost. Heck, you'd be lucky to pick up just one used Snap-on ratcheting soft grip screwdriver for what this entire set currently costs. I'm VERY glad I picked up this set. I have to believe you will be too.

There are several things about these that I prefer over my Snap-On ratcheting screwdrivers. I found that the end cap of my Snap-On soft grip handles would come off if I ever had to "lean into" the screwdriver to get it to grip into older screws and the hard plastic Snap-On handles would bruise my palm if doing the same thing. The Gearwrench handles don't have that problem. The shape of the Gearwrench handles is better ergonomically in my opinion, however i do find that I prefer the smaller handle over the larger (ie "standard sized") handle. I feel like the larger handle is just a little too long compared to the Snap-Op handle that I had gotten used to over the past 20-ish years.
One thing that I had never gotten used to was the direction of the ratchet selector on the Snap-On. In 20 years I don't think i ever selected the right direction the first time (except maybe by accident). The Gearwrench selector just seems to work the right way in my opinion.
I do love the fact that i can still use a 1/4 inch socket extension in place between the handle and the screwdriver shank to give me extra length if I need it.
If I had it to do over again, I would DEFINITELY buy these screw drivers and save myself several hundred dollars.
BTW, I was waffling between this and the Snap-On set that a buddy has. They feel very similar, with a light edge to the GearWrench if anything. And there is no comparison on price. I do have a number of Snap-On tools, where they make sense (you just can not beat a Snap-On full-polish combination wrench, IMO) , but I think this one makes more sense to go with the Gear Wrench.
I have had this set since it came out a good 10y ago or so. One night I was helping (teaching)my daughter change her headlight bulbs in her Jeep and used this set (with some of the extra bit sets I added to it). She loved the set, so bought her this one for he for Christmas. It's the same quality of the one I've had for years. I don't use it for heavy duty or under the hood work , just for around the house, under and around the dash , putting together furniture, clean light to med duty clean work.

Die Klinge an sich ist super, hat aber tatsächlich deutlich Spiel. Der ist aber konstruktionsbedingt und "entwickelt" sich nicht durch Materialermüdung
Der Magnet ist zu schwach um Bit + Schraube zu halten. Werde wohl bohren und einen 5 mm * 3 mm neodym Magneten einkleben.
Der Griff ist lang aber OK, lose Aufbewahrung der Bits ist auch suboptimal. Habe 12 Bosch Bits mit etwas Mühe reinbekommen aber das Geklöter nervt bisschen.
Die Ratsche ist wundervoll. 45 Zähne, leicht drehbar.
