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.
I feel attacked. In for one.

Quote from ISKRA87 :
If it helps, Gear Wrench actually held up well in the top spots according to this in-depth test:

I ended up getting the 1/2" model and it sure is nice. I now recommend them!
That specific review is for the 90T 3/8" compact head, which has been merrily greedflationing away since. I hope it winds up being worth what I paid for it.

So, speaking of which, has anyone ran into a situation where they NEEDED the extra length of this over a shorter 1/4" flex-head, or the smaller head size as compared to an extra long 3/8" flex-head?

I'm all for it, but I feel concerned that the one time I need it will be on a hex bolt/nut bigger than 10mm that's stuck enough to break it (the use case for an extra-long box end wrench I don't own). I've never needed a bit driver in this format - maybe that's my problem, judging by the Torx comment above.

I work hand tools everyday, and this is something I never thought I might need. Now that I see it here on sale, I'm beginning to imagine possible scenarios to use this.... the miracle of SD

Bought this back in July for 20.XX. Great little tool and works perfect with all those Milkwaukee bits you get in those TicTac containers.

These arrived, the neck is flat and thin like a box wrench. They are going back.
