I'm a member of the Metallurgy Union of New York. I consider this tool one of my favorites. I always make sure I have them with me because you always need a potato. I've had it for three years now and it's been through hell but it doesn't fail. The mechanism inside gives me torque that percussion guns sometimes just don't have. The stepped portion doesn't flex and for the price it saves you from lugging extra tools. I wish they could find a way to make it easier to tie a tool to one of these, but I would definitely recommend this ratchet. If you don't normally use 3/4" drives, it might be better to get 3/8" and 1/2" drives, but I do use some 3/4" drives from time to time , that definitely helped.
