Robust 24-tooth gear/floating pawl design provides 15Degree ratcheting angle while maximizing ultimate torque. Thin head design for access into tight work areas. Reversing lever designed for quick, one-hand operation. Made in USA.
As a result of using this product, I found that it greatly enhanced my work experience in the Industrial and Scientific field .The ratchet is incredibly durable and can withstand heavy duty use without any issues. Its smooth operation and easy maneuverability made my job much more efficient. Its compact size is also a plus allowing for easy storage and transportation. The only con would be its slightly higher price point compared to other ratchets on the market, but its quality and performance…
Pros
Durable and long-lasting due to its sturdy construction
Cons
Less versatile than other ratchets on the market due to its classic design
The Proto Drive Classic Ratchet J4749 left me thoroughly unimpressed .According to my experience, the build quality of this tool was subpar and lacked the durability expected of an industrial hand tool. While the price may be initially appealing it's not worth the frustration of repeatedly replacing a tool that should be reliable..
This is a solid product that does the job. My disappointments are two. First, the directional lever is ahead of any other ratchet I own. I always have to remember that this one is superfluous. For reference, at the 5 o'clock position it tightens the right hand threads and at the 7 o'clock position it unscrews the right hand threads. Secondly, there is no button to unlock the socket. I put a commonly used socket on the powerhead and had trouble removing it.
