FIRSTINFO 1/4-Inch Drive Flex Head Extendable Ratchet | 72 Tooth Quick Release Reversible Ratcheting with Soft Grip Handle, 6.7 to 8.6 Inch Lengths

I needed a versatile tool and this is fits the bill. As a machinist, I deal with some tricky assemblies/disassemblies, so this is a great tool. This is made in Taiwan but is very high quality. The head articulates 180 degrees and locks in several angles. The locking mechanism is in a handy place and locks solidly. The head function is almost on par with snap on, proto, IMO. The ratcheting is crisp and solid with little backlash with each increment and the socket release is smooth and feels comfortable. If you plan to push drivers to the limit, I'd suggest not getting quick releases, as the borehole in the square drive head will weaken it a little, compared to a solid square head....but most likely the pawls will fail first. It has 72 teeth so good in tighter spaces, or especially when the handle is at full extension. The head's reversing is smooth and solid too. It is fully serviceable if needed (you will need a t-10 and t-8 torx drivers). The head is attached to the body with a high strength torx bolt than can be adjusted for tension. I've had other articulating drivers fail at the swivel joint, when they use a press-pin design. Get a threaded pin...they'll last longer and be a stronger design. I love the extension handle, which is solid, strong and sure beats a pipe on a wrench handle! The handle is an oil/solvent resistant rubber and is very comfortable, especially when working in cold environments. I think if you have a super stuck on bolt, maybe a breakover bar is better but this is very strong and I haven't failed it, even when taking off rusted bolts from a 1-1/2" shaft. So for the price, I'm getting the 3/8, and 1/4 drivers too. Super impressed with this tool so far.

Durable, I like the locking angle, hard to find anymore

Good: Versatile, well-made, strongBad: Heavy - but that’s understandable because it’s made out of steel and the flex & extendable features add more parts thus more steel and weight.Also not good is that the lever for the ratchet is “opposite” of the norm for this ratchet.At the 7 o’clock position of the lever (see picture), ideally it should be in the “tighten” mode - this tool does the opposite.So if all your ratchets are using the normal lever position, this tool will function “reverse” of what you’re used to.The button that locks the flex function is a nice touch. Actually this is the only tool with such a convenient function using a button.Overall, this is the best 3/8” ratchet with all these functionality at a reasonable price. The button quick-release is always a must-have.The extended length is also ideal for the torque limits of a 3/8” ratchet which is helpful in avoiding to switching to a 1/2” or a breaker bar.Verdict: make the ratchet lever go the normal way, and this tool will get a 5-Star rating and best bang for the buck.

Extendable and a push button firmly sets the angle. Very handy tool. Nice firm grip

There were so many times I need this tool but didn’t own it. Glad I took the plunge and now own it. Boy does it make any jobs much easier!!! Great piece and quality.

Works great, one of the best tools I've ever bought.

Extends and fled head. Extremely versatile. Must have. Ratchet quality feels decent. Good bang for your buck.

I have a three wheeler and needed a breaker bar to pop open the drain plugs for an oil change. Since the drain plugs are aluminum I didn't want to use an impact and risk stripping them. Especially with Torx and Allen heads respectively. I didn't even know a tool like this existed at all. I was surprised to find it and shocked it is so nice for the money, very beefy and very precision. I didn't need the swivel head but it's really nice and precision, as is the extender. Anyway, I stretched this baby right out and poof, both drain plugs opened right up. Nice job. Wow.I high recommend this tool Danny J
