Review on πŸ”§ ARES 70040-1/4-Inch Drive Close Quarter Micro Bit Ratchet: High Torque Mini Screwdriver with 72-Tooth Gearhead by Philip Latham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great time saver, will it last?

The size makes this ratchet very convenient. On standard sized bits it measures 1 inch from the tip to the back of the ratchet so it can really get into those hard to reach places. I only question the build quality, the ratchet is on the tight side when freely rotating which can result in the fastener being screwed back and forth with no ratcheting action given its very tight design and the fasteners you will be using it on , are going to be fairly small, so easier free spins would be more beneficial. It said it was brand new and might or might not break. Another thing I would like to point out is that the ratchet is a little wobbly. With the racquet you can move the racquet up and down. The bit is stuck, but the ratcheting mechanism itself has good play. It's going straight to his new industrial home and I'll report how this little guy is holding up.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not the best
