Not a bad purchase

So far I,m very impressed with this adjustable ratchet. There are a few places on my pickup's diesel engine that is hard to get to with a short ratchet, that is why I purchased this 34;bad boy34;. I like the adjustable length which makes it more user-friendly. It's well-made and doesn't feel cheap. Get's the job done.

Bought this one ti replace one I bought years ago. I wished the handle was blue and red still. The one I received was grey and black.

Great tool for our maintenance dept.

It's HEAVY DUTY and the extending handle is easy to use!

Great tool to use in tight space also the fine teeth works will!!

I use this ratchet in an industrial, production setting. Today, we broke one by using it in an unintended fashion. Because of its past track record, (almost 3 years), and the way it is designed, I am giving it a five star review. The way the locking mechanism is made on this ratchet is why the lever seems to be reversed, (previous review). This ratchet uses two separate locking tabs rather than a single, rocking, locking tab. In my opinion this makes for a very, simply made, extremely strong, head, (reference the stories of cheater bars). The company that I work for builds transformers, (main and substation size). We use this ratchet to open and close the mandrels that we build windings on. Today we broke one of the locking tabs and partially squashed one of the 24 teeth on the main gear. This was accomplished by placing the handle against a fixed object and using a motor drive to attempt to expand the mandrel, (literally over 1000ft lbs of force). Not how we usually do it. An operator taking a shortcut. Because of the design of this ratchet I am able to move the remaining locking tab for the direction I need, while I'm waiting for the head repair kit to arrive. In conclusion I will take this design over the conventional 34;rocker34; design any time, (even if can be a little confusing). In my opinion, for 3/434; and above ratchets, this should be the industry standard. Thank you E-ZRED for one of the toughest ratchets I have ever used, and for manufacturing replacement head kits for those times that we do really stupid/unsafe things, (abuse).

Handle doest have a magnificent feel but this ratchet outstanding. I work in underground utilities so I need to hand dig the entire range of my ratchet. A tough and affordable time-saver.

Impressive in EVERY way !

Pretty well made. I like the telescoping handle. Have used it a couple of times and it worked great. I've even put a 5 feet cheater pipe on it and have had no problems.
