Finally ditched my old screwdriver for a ratcheting one on a ceiling fan install

Spent 20 minutes debating between a standard and a ratcheting screwdriver at the hardware aisle, grabbed the ratcheting one for $12. Finished the whole fan in half the time without my wrist screaming at me. Anyone else made the switch and never looked back?

Wait, won't my cheap ratchet screwdriver just break on the first screw or something? My track record says it'll probably last as long as my last dollar store allen wrench set, maybe twenty minutes tops.

Ratchet is the way to go but that $12 one might strip out pretty quick though.

Question if it's even worth stressing over a twelve dollar tool, @the_evan.
