Ideal for working in hard-to-reach places.

I like how this tool can be used to remove aircraft components when the gap is very small. Very precise mechanism. Super fast shipping too!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Virtually useless with a master set.

This wrench would be good with a 5/16 square drive on one end. I bought a VIM core set and bought it as a supplement but both ends are 1/4 and the core set is a mix of 1/4 and 5/16. Sent back for a refund

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors appeared

Disappointed: Socket

First of all I was disappointed that this wrench didn't have a 5/16 drive end as both were 1/4. I was expecting a somewhat similar 12-inch HBR5 version. I bought a premium VIM VHC77 kit which has half the bits as 5/16 hex so I figured this HBR12 would fit 5/16 bits as well. It isn't, except for using a socket, which defeats the entire purpose of the halving. Looking further, VIM doesn't even offer a 5/16 hex ratchet longer than the 5" HBR5 if the larger bits are the ones that require a longer…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
