Customers say
Customers like the size, ease of use, and value of the wrench. They mention it gets into tight places easily, looks nice, and is worth the price. Some also like the hand feel, access, and appearance. However, some customers have reported that it locks up and wouldn’t ratchet. Opinions are mixed on its durability.

Good quality and long 1/4 ratchet
I like the length of the ratchet and the price/ quality. The gears teeth is fine enough for tight spaces.

Pretty compact
This is smaller than you imagine, it can get in some tight spots

Ridiculously narrow
Words don’t really do the size justice, so see the attached comparison photo. Top is the 3/8 in 1/4 long nano ratchet, 2nd is this 1/4 ratchet, bottom 2 are standard 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets. The head of this ratchet is barely wider than a 12mm 1/4 chrome socket (top one), and about the same size as a 10mm 3/8. The head is retained with a recessed snap ring without lug holes. While probably technically serviceable, it’s a whole different level from normal ratchet heads.Dimensions: 18.5mm wide head, 10mm thick, with 1-2mm for the quick release button and reverse switch. 20mm thick including the anvil and QR button.Like a lot of reviews mention, the ratcheting mechanism tends to lock up slightly with even low torque, maybe 5-10 ft-lbs. Dumping super lube (very light, clear oil) in the top until brown liquid came out the bottom improved it significantly; I think it’s a combination of tolerances and poor factory lubrication. The anvil has quite a bit of play for the overall size, so I think some level of binding is inevitable, but replacing the factory oil means it doesn’t lock up nearly as badly.This series of ratchets has noticeable backdrag. Not a stupid amount, you can find far worse – especially at this price point. However, if you’re comparing to options triple the price, or generally hate backdrag, you will likely be disappointed.In my opinion, if there’s one thing to be done to improve this ratchet, it would be to drop the quick release feature. It results in a very poorly sealed ratchet head, and seems to be a lot of the reason for downright sloppy tolerances.

This tool is really as small as described
This ratchet is perfect for getting into hard to reach spots, the longer handle gives great leverage. The handle is comfortable in my hand, and is of high quality. Yes, the head is really the size of an average pinky finger!

Excellent
This rachet is excellent. My only issue was it took a long time to receive it

Low Qualityâ¦Jams Up
Save your money and but from a reputable manufacturer. Bought this ratchet and at first it was great. Then it started to lock up and wouldn’t ratchet. Had to hit it on the ground to free it. Filed a warranty claim and got a replacement. That one did the same thing during the first use. Ended up getting a name brand.

Thin and long! Gets into tight places easily
This ratchet is nice to add to the tool box. My son has been using it alot. Great flex handle to let you know you need another tool before this one breaks. Chrome is nice and functions great.

will see in time if its last

This is great for teaching into tight spaces. The ratchet head is miniscule and the fine tooth mechanism seems well up to the job.

Seems quite well made overall, though the selector switch is very stiff and seems to jam a lot. I’m not sure how to dissemble this one to oil, so can’t even inspect the internals. I added some singer oil to hopefully seep in, but out of the box, the switch is the worst of the many ratchets I own.
Connor –
Handles have a lot of flex

Donât know how it will hold up to tasksâ¦but definitely a quality ratchet for the price and for sure the most compact head I ever saw!
