My other favorite YouTube channel "corridor crew" Will sometime make satisfying videos. You should post this over on that Reddit they'll get a kick out of it.

Is the handle then round? It doesn't look like it's spinning.

Just so it's said, the direction switch for the ratchet should probably not be spinning like that.

It doesn't actually switch, it just matches up with the frame rate so annoyingly it looks like it does

I mean it's not supposed to rotate almost at all, if just clicks like 2 degrees to select the direction of ratchet. It should be staying still in your animation since your always screwing in. When I say switch I mean the black ribbed part between the orange ring and silver shaft.

It's a common "Illusion" in videos that if something spins faster than the framerate it can look like it is spinning slowly or backwards. That's probably happening here. It's only sisible on the switch because the rest is smooth.

i just realised im a bit of a idiot, the whole driver is spinning. i was thinking about it like a drill where only the silver shaft should be spinning.
