Four tools in one
The UniDriver can ratchet in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction or to be set to neutral
Link Tools, is introducing a 9.525mm drive, three-position UniDriver, joining its earlier introduction of a solid-core 19mm drive tool that connects at both ends. The new Ratcheting UniDriver is expected to have very broad appeal to many industries and leisure time hobbyists. 'We fully expect the Link Ratcheting UniDriver to become the most universal hand tool sold', said John Davidson, CEO of Link Tools.

Davidson added, 'A Link Tools UniDriver combines all the functions of a speeder, an extension bar, a screwdriver and a ratchet in one tool'.
The new, all-metal Ratcheting UniDriver is a key addition to any toolbox because of its solid metal core and its ability to ratchet in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction or to be set to neutral.
The Ratcheting UniDriver can loosen or tighten attachments rapidly, and because of Link's patented 'hand-to-work' promise, there's no danger of dropped sockets damaging a machine or delaying its repair.
When set in neutral, the Link Ratcheting UniDriver can be used with a T-bar or ratchet wrench 'plugged' into the top for greater torque.
Free rotation of the solid shaft with the handle remaining in neutral means the Ratcheting UniDriver can be guided by the handle without any loss of torque while in use.
This unique versatility in a single tool results in significantly greater efficiency, safety and economy.
In addition, when the ratchet wrench and the ratcheting UniDriver are alternated, forward and back, this achieves twice as much turning, doubling the output of Link tools over conventional tools.
Because of its solid core, the Ratcheting UniDriver has just as much strength as any 152.4mm extension bar.
Link Tools have found wide acceptance in the aviation, automotive and nuclear industries, as well as by other professionals and even do-it-yourself tool users.
