Despite the lever arm length, this tiny little compact ratchet head is meant for low torque applications only. It's pretty easy to put too much force on it and break it, but if used within its means it is a great tool for reaching small hard to reach fasteners in an engine bay and I love the locking flex.

Tools are a man's jewelry. You work hard to come up with a use for this to justify the expense, but can't, and you still want it.

So just buy it and hold it, enjoy it. Add it to your collection of odd tools, right next to the bin full of flashlights.

12" long 1/4" ratchet seems like a paradox

Does anyone know if I could replace the internal with matco internal? Similar to the wrench?

I've seen so many negative reviews saying it's fragile but you're exactly right: these are great for low torque applications and this may be my favorite ratchet because of how helpful it has been on annoying fasteners.

I bought this and it is awesome as long as you know what you are doing.

The locking flex is great and the ability to use standard 1/4" bits is nice as well.
