I would use this to gain *ACCESS* to a hard-to-reach nut/bolt and then find out it’s torqued on too tight and break this. LOL

It's a fair price, but the action on this ratchet is pretty sloppy. It's definitely a light duty tool.

I believe all of Gearwrench's ratchets are made in Taiwan... and this one is definitely made in Taiwan. Yes, some of their stuff comes from China, but the ratchets and their chrome sockets are all...

There are other factors in the bad reviews such as the pivot being too loose but workable when new but getting worse with usage also. I have a ratchet like that now. Some 3/8” ratchet I picked up...

You are smart enough to not put too much torque on your extended reach ratchet, the reviewers of this tool apparently aren't.
This is a small tool, the head isn't even 3/4" across, it is clearly...

Then don’t purchase? I like to keep niche tools on hand for the “oh crap” moments. A long handle ratchet is something that might be the exact thing I need.
