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.

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
