We've received many questions about small firearm screws treated with Loctite. Green Loctite threadlocker is supposed to be used on screws smaller than 1/2" not the commonly used red threadlocker. More info here

CM-13 mini ratchet is rated at 200" lbs of torque, which is the typical torque of 4 large screwdrivers. Most of our bits are rated at less than 200" lbs based on the torque of the screws they fit.

USA Made: Old Fashioned Quality and State of the Art Craftsmanship

Chapman tools are made in CT from USA materials. We support American made machinery tool and die makers, fabricators, metal finishers, machine part manufacturers and other local service providers. Your support of Chapman MFG in turn supports all the American workers that we rely on!

Many people say that they "don't make things like they used to." Here at Chapman, our famous mini ratchet and screwdriver bits are essentially unchanged since 1936. We've added more tools and different types of bits since our inception, but the basic assemblies are unchanged.

We precision mill our screwdriver bits on modern equipment that hold tight critical tolerances and produce screwdriver bits with sharp corners, flat ends and no burrs to fit straight and snug into fastener heads. They're heat treated to specific tolerances and then finished with a rust inhibitor black oxide coating.

Our famous mini ratchets are punched from USA stainless steel, hand assembled, inspected and tested before placed into a tool set.

Each set is then also hand inspected, assembled and the accompanying brochure is signed by the assembler. Every kit and part shipped out of our shop is inspected again by a different team member before shipment.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 31 reviews.

Well made screwdriver set

"This was a nice starter screwdriver set, I look forward to adding on to it. The craftsmanship is great. I only use these for gunsmith work. It doesn’t have all the bits and sizes I need but it’s a good start."

— TADD W. (5/5)

Great little tool kit for range bag.

"Great little tool kit, it’s small, light weight, extremely well made, has a good bit of variety, I threw it in my range bag for when I need a tool for something."

— Michael D. (5/5)

Excellent!

"I purchased these recently in order to disassemble my Whitney Kennedy rifle for inspection and cleaning and found the bits to be of excellent quality and the knurled top to be very useful for holding the bit steady while using the ratchet. I had no problems removing 140 year old screws from the rifle - get the proper tools in order to do a proper job. These are the proper tools!"

Great Product

"I bought the desert tan set to tighten up all the various screws on my Heritage Rough Rider in .22 Magnum and they worked like a charm! Honestly, I feel a bit foolish for using generic bits on other gun where I have boogered up the screws because of not using hollow ground bits like I should have. These were a great purchase and tightened up the action and grip very well and now the gun functions even better with a crisper feeling and sound on the four clicks and even the trigger feels better. Obviously the screws needed to be adjusted a bit but these tools worked really well and area great purchase - I'm quite happy with mine :-)"

— Kevin M. (5/5)

"Excellent craftsmanship. Exactly what I needed to further my gunsmithing endeavors. Impressed with how well each piece was machined to spec. Made in USA bonus! Arrived promptly. Very satisfied, will buy from again and again, you can quote that!"

— Phillip (5/5)

Quality Tools

"Just what I needed and will be beneficial when repair firearms prevent further damage to hardware. Quality and workmanship is far in advance of china made tools"

— Walter J. (5/5)

An amazing little toolkit

"I have used my toolkit on cars, rifles, pistols and electronics. I even pulled it out to fix my wife's sewing machine. Amazing quality and still looks and works like brand new after 30 years. I now have two sets, my original imperial set, and now a metric set. I highly recommend this as the first purchace for a young shooter or mechanic."

— Tony P. (5/5)

8900 gunsmith set blue and red set

"Very good quality. Got this set after many reviews online as I just started my master gunsmithing course. Used it already on a S&W lady smith and it works really well. small set takes up little space. Fits well in my hand. Very happy and made is USA....."

— Daniel. S. (5/5)

Perfect! Love them!

"I got the 8900 set for my 1940s sewing machines and the slotted bits are exactly what I needed for that project! I can't brag on these tools enough. These are excellent quality and they are tough. Haven't used them on my guns yet, but they paid for themselves by saving the screw heads on my antique Singer. Would highly recommend 👍"
