    Nice little tool & worth the money - not just a gadget/gimmick.

    This compact 1/4" hex' drive ratchet looked good to me before I even got it out of the bag. I know from bitter previous experiences though, looks (& brands) aren't everything, especially where tools are concerned. Overall, this ratchet is a tad weighty for it's size, but then it is a one piece body with the expected ratchet plus a very useful (non-ratchet) 1/4" hex' drive in the other end! The handle is stainless steel & the finish is quite good with no sharp edges. Owners should bear in mind though, the other components are not stainless steel &, therefore, will last longer if occasionally oiled/greased as appropriate for individual usage of the tool. Some people may berate the clockwise/anti-clockwise 'switch' but I find it very practical in use, not getting in the way of handling & not accidentally reversing. The actual ratchet action is not heavy, whilst giving confidence of the mechanism engaging thoroughly & no risk of slipping. There is considerable rotational play in the 72 teeth mechanism, requiring approximately 20 degrees to engage the next tooth. That is this ratchet's greatest downside as far as I'm concerned & why it lost one star. 1/4" hex bits will only go into the ratchet hex' & the handle end hex' to a limited depth (the ratchet head is not hex' right through). Bits are held reasonably in place when they & the tool are clean & dry*, both sockets having a sprung ball which pushes onto one of the bit's flats (as opposed to one of the bit's points/apexes) & friction of the bit to the opposite side. *The amount of force required to extract the bit is bound to vary dependant upon the cleanliness of the tool & bit, i.e. I'd expect the bits to barely hold if covered in clean lubricating oil. The 1/4" hex' hole in the end of the handle is great for spinning freely turning screws, nuts, etc. (obviously with a driver/adaptor if appropriate) like a screwdriver handle. I confess I did once use it (with a longer than standard bit - about 60mm) to successfully gain extra leverage for the ratchet action, in a very awkward situation, where I couldn't apply much force at full stretch of my finger tips! (I wasn't able to use my 'normal' 1/4" square drive ratchet with adaptors.) Clearly, that's not how it should be used & would undoubtedly negate warranty if damaged by doing so. In summary, apart from the slack in the mechanism, it's great for my uses &, overall, I'd recommend it for anyone's toolbox.

    Good for this price

    It,s a very useful item. Small with helpful second bit holder, i like it. I don,t like the force of hold of main bit holder on ratchet and direction switcher is bad, but for the price is OK. It's not professional tool, so if you use it in daily tasks i recommend it. Good service - thanks!

  • Small and beautifully made

    Although I have given this top marks I haven't actually used it yet so treat this review with caution. I bought the ratchet to use in my motorbike tool kit and for that it looks ideal - very good quality, very small and light. The drawback to being small enough for fitting under a bike seat is that it is not long enough to provide much leverage so it may not be much use around the house except in very small spaces. Nonetheless it is an exquisite little thing and I am pleased to add it to my toolkit.

  • Neat ratchet for small kits.

    Reasonably fine ratchet teeth with flush-fitting direction selector. Solid Sealey build quality with useful hex socket in handle base. If you’re building a compact kit for motorcycle or car use, one of these should be included.

  • Good quality, very compact

    It has a solid feel - seems strong. The ratchet mechanism is quite smooth, not clunky. It's very compact, which is very handy for inaccessible places. It holds my hex to square adapter securely. A bit pricey but I'm hoping it'll last a long time.

  • Strong and precise

    I had to undo some 2mm allen bolts on my MTB brake levers. An allen key was too springy and I was worried the head would strip. This small and precision wrench opened them without a problem. Very well made and great for small allen or torx heads.

  • Neat & very useful.

    This is perfect, compact and neat. The hex bits go all the way through the wrench head, making it as slim as possible. I have already used it twice at work, just tightening up things which were previously too hard to reach.
