Review on πŸ”§ TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 8 Inch Flex Head Quick-Release Ratchet: Versatile Tool for Efficient Mechanics by Brian Wolf

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Do not buy this ratchet

I needed a flex head ratchet to loosen an awkward bolt in my car. Over the last few years I've loved my TEKTON breaker and box wrench set so I ordered this ratchet from them. It worked well. Actually, it worked too well. The 90-tooth slide was buttery smooth and made bolt removal easy. Now that I know how this action is, how it should be, I can't bring myself to go back to my old clapper. Looks like I'll have to buy a whole set of ratchets and a few more items from TEKTON. You can't beat their lifetime guarantee if you take a picture and they send a replacement, the quality is there in the tools I've worked with and the price is reasonable (depending on your tool trolley brands). The instruments are mostly made in the US or Taiwan, but they don't beat their chests for it. In my book they get it right. Now how to convince my wife to get more tools. Only buy this ratchet if you are ready to buy more tools from TEKTON.
