Description of GearWrench 81209T Automotive Wrenches Ratchet
90 Tooth gear delivers a 4° swing arc to turn a fastener in tight confines. Precision engineered high strength pawl for increased durability. 4-3/8” overall length for use in tight spaces. Highly visible on/off markings on the head. Teardrop low profile head and flush mounted on/off switch allow better access in tight spaces. Enclosed head design for extreme resistance to dirt infiltration. Professional, full polish chrome finish is easy to clean. Exceeds ASME torque performance requirements.
This wrench set failed on me during an important automotive repair. The ratchet mechanism quickly wore out, causing the socket to slip off the bolt head. The only pro is the decent grip on the handle. The unreliable ratchet is a major con for automotive work, so I do not recommend this set for anything beyond light home use..
Pros
Flexible head design allows for easy access to tight spaces
Cons
Requires some strength to operate ratchet mechanism
