Read the full description

Does the job perfectly, is slim and maneuvers into the right places when needed. I gave 3 stars because I was afraid for my life. At certain moments unscrewing the screws, I will break or completely break this product. I was able to get the job done with no issues, but I work with snap-on products so I'm used to the strength.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • boring packaging

Revainrating 4 out of 5

efficiency and availability.

I work in the aerospace industry and this tool has been very helpful. No one has had one on a hanger for that long. So they liked it a lot because it's versatile and can reach hard-to-reach places where even the smallest ratchet and head is too big. Not to mention the main feature of this product, which is leverage. I gave it 3 stars for durability just because I just received it. It didn't break, but it could potentially break. I will re-evaluate it in 90 days and re-evaluate its durability.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Some issues

You can easily convert it to non-blocking.

Wanted 4S12 without blocking but apparently it's out of production. I used to have one that got lost and it was great. Ordered this version of the 4S12L lock and hated the lock's "feature" which was so unnecessary and made it difficult to use in certain hard to reach areas of the engine. Luckily, you can just undo the screw and pull out the lock, push the button and assemble, leaving the spring and bracket in place. And it won't lock anymore, but it will still hold a detented head position and…

  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Clarity

One of my favorite instruments.

This is my favorite quarter inch driver. I have a few different ones that will come in handy in certain circumstances, but when I just need to remove this 6mm bolt from the car and my electric drive doesn't fit, this is the tool I go to. I've lost a few over the years and always replace them asap because I miss them when I don't have them. And the bonus is that the other end uses 1/4" hex bits, which saved me a lot of bottlenecks that no other tool would fit. I'm a professional auto mechanic…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great secondary 1/4 " but changes direction too easily

I'm a professional engineer and this little ratchet is saving my life. The fact that both ends are flexible means the tool fits in the palm of your hand. If you can get your hand where you need it, you can get it on your bolt. Ideal for complex V6 cross valve covers and other tight work. Screwdriver and ratchet in one device, ideal for interior work, dashboard pulling etc. A BIG PROBLEM: It is almost impossible to use this ratchet without accidentally changing direction between hits. It's easy…

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • almost never

Ideal for small rooms where there is hardly room for one hand.

I found some loose bolts in my car's intake manifold. This resulted in a boost leak at high rpm. I could access this area with my regular socket wrenches or screwdrivers, so I needed something long and thin to get to this area. This is perfect for my needs. It's actually less than I expected, which was good in my case. The length is also longer than most other Revain drivers currently available. The swing arc of the ratchet is pretty good. Because of its size and intended use, a tight ratchet…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • No manual

This would be a great tool but not for professional technicians and not for regular use. Either a DIY enthusiast or if you only need the tool occasionally. The head doesn't engage very securely, about 5-10 pounds of force moves it, which is very frustrating when trying to loosen nuts/bolts at awkward angles (the whole purpose of this tool). My other complaint is that this mine randomly changes direction. These two problems are huge, I wish it was a higher quality tool because it has a great…

Pros
  • wrench
Cons
  • vanishing

Durable for a hand tool

I've used this amazing little ratchet almost every day of my career as an aircraft mechanic for the past two and a half years. I find it indispensable in tight spaces with too little clearance for a normal ratchet. Best feature is no flexible head or screwdriver on the other end (don't get me wrong, I use these features all the time and wouldn't). not gone), but the small size of the ratchet head is by far the most important design advantage over a traditional ratchet. The ratchet head is the…

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • No power

EZRED 4S04 Double Ratchet Micro Combo – Great

OK. I bought this over a year ago. I have several Audi A6 cars. I've learned that any tool you can have in your arsenal to fit in weird places is a hell of a buy. I bought the EZRED 4S04 Micro Combo Dual Ratchet to gain access to things tightly connected to the firewall or in additional locations. I used it last weekend to replace my HPFP and this little one is really comfortable. I like that I can put a torx bit or head on either end. I don't use this for high torque applications. I only use…

Pros
  • Tools & Household
Cons
  • Unreliable
