Review on πŸ”§ TEKTON Swivel Head Quick-Release Ratchet, 3/8 Inch Drive x 9 Inch (Model 1491) by Jason King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good fit and finish: TEKTON 3/8 " drive x 9 " turret quick release ratchet

I am very impressed with this Tekton 3/8 ratchet. The chrome is smooth with no scratches, the latch is snug with no excess play, and the switch to change the latch direction is solid. I expect this to serve you well. I'm an amateur mechanic with my own cars, so I don't work like I'm trying to make money at work. If nuts or bolts need to be removed, I first loosen the fasteners with a pry bar and then use a ratchet to remove the nut or bolt. During assembly I secured it with a ratchet and then tightened it with a torque wrench. It takes a few more minutes, but it's time well spent.

Pros
  • 72 tooth gear offers only 5 degree working angle
Cons
  • I will add later
