Review on Complete Ratchet Set With 84 Teeth For 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" Drives - GEARWRENCH 11 Piece Teardrop Ratchet Set (Model 81296A-07) by John Goerge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect high end ratchets at sweet price point.

I’m a DIY mechanic, and I wanted something with the quality of Snapon, but at a non-ridiculous price. I was tired of Husky and Craftsman garbage from local hardware stores. These nailed it. The turning action is incredibly smooth. The fed/rev switch works every time. The weight and quality is just right. My friend with all the pro tools was annoyed with how good these were, especially the large 1/2” ratchet. It took the axle nut off my minivan without the usual need for a breaker bar.The flex heads are helpful in tight engine spaces, but not too loose to be annoying like others I’ve used.Well done Gearwrench. You nailed the price performance on these fantastic ratchets. I included the picture with tape measure to help give a good sense of size.

Pros
  • The ratchets have a slim nose for improved accessibility
Cons
  • Some users report that the ratchets are difficult to switch between sizes
