Got this when it went on sale in the past and love it.
Locking flex heads are the best, and driving 1/4 hex without any adapters is awesome (or go straight for the long 1/4 hex to whatever size square drive you want without the step up/step down adapters and extensions)

did i mention locking flex heads are the best?

I ordered a couple of front-page deals back, but the shipping company returned the package claiming it was damaged. Amazon didn't offer an exchange. When the same deal showed up on the front page again, I decided to give it another try. This time, the package arrived, but the item wasn't inside. After requesting a replacement, I finally received it on the third attempt. Just a word of warning.

That said, the piece itself is nice, and I've already used it a few times in tight spaces.

When the tool arrived, I was pretty upset that ratcheting mechanism was skipping, and incredibly "glitchy." I was planning on starting a warranty claim. However, after playing with it for a few more minutes, something gave and the ratchet has been operating ultra smooth and flawlessly ever since. Just thought I would share that experience. Lastly, $20 is the normal Amazon price for this tool, but definitely the lowest price overall for this tool.

This 72-tooth one forces 5 degree rotation instead of 90-tooth's 4 degree, in case the tight spaces you intend to use this for are relevant for that.

Nice, but handle is too long at 12". Needs to be around 8"

Other tools should be able to fix that.

Do they make a 90 tooth slim locking flex?

It's great and has worked incredibly well. 20 bucks is a no brainer
