Not impressed with this industrial hand tool. through trial and error, I found that the ratchet mechanism slips frequently, making it difficult to use. Although the wrench appears to be well-made, it fails to perform reliably .The positive aspect is that it is affordable. However, the constant slipping makes this wrench vastly underwhelming..
After I put it to the test on several projects, this ratcheting wrench proved to be a reliable tool for any industrial and scientific application. Its sturdy build and efficient ratcheting mechanism made my work easier and FASTER .However the tool`s price may be a drawback for those on a tight budget. Overall, I strongly recommend this handy wrench for industrial hand tools enthusiasts who seek for quality and durability in their work tools..
Pros
Compact design allows access to tight spaces and reduces the amount of tools needed in a toolkit.
Cons
The ratcheting mechanism may wear out over time with frequent use.
2 of 3 GearWrench items in the same order arrived defective. One was from a 13 piece SAE ratchet set, the 13/16 ratchet was taken apart like they forgot to put it back together! The other is a 32mm ratchet wrench which has a ratcheting issue, it often gets stuck and you have to wiggle it a bit to get it working again. I have not used these items yet, I only noticed all this during a superficial inspection after opening the box. I have some concerns about what other issues will arise after some…
Pros
Surface drive provides better fastener retention and reduces fastener rounding
