Neilsen CT0811 3/8in DR Flexi-Head Ratchet | Long Handle with Locking Swivel Head

Very good value for the money neilson 3/8" fleshed ratchet lifetime warranty, although handle is not as long as snapon or draper expert but nor is the price!So it did what it says on the tin. Used bar and massive pressure to undo tight nuts and bolts on 25 years oldMini cooper and never slipped or broke. Still got all my knuckles. So that's good 👍

Ok so it's not Snap On but neither is it Snap On price. I've purchased and used Neilsen tools before and never had any issues. Should be good for years and for me it's a good quality product.

Easy to use

Great quality. I had a very stubborn bolt at a very weird position on my car’s intake. 2 of my previous tools failed either they slipped or got bent. This tool exceeded all my expectations and did the go on the first go.Highly recommend for DIY projects.

I used my new wrench to fit a new water pump on my car. I had no issues at all & it worked as expected & even slightly better. Some reviews on this mention the moveable head not locking; this isn't strictly true. Although you cannot lock the head angle, there is a rachet that does a reasonable job at holding it. If you rely on said rachet to hold the weight of either the handle or the fitment then the head angle will flop, but I didn't see or find this to be an issue for me. In fact, I found the variable head angle to be of benefit on a couple of occasions when trying to gain access to a couple of recessed bolts. I did catch the direction adjuster once as I was tightening a bolt, but that was the fault of my sausage fingers...All in all, I found this to be good value for money and it worked as, if not a little better, than I expected.

Okay, so being a mechanic by trade I am spoilt when it comes to tools, 90% of my stuff is snap on or teng. This little ratchet was bought as a temporary replacement for my favourite snap on 3/8” flex head I left somewhere and cannot find.Quality is fairly good, ratchet mechanism is not bad but non comparible to a ratchet 10x the price, but that’s not what we’re talking about here and it’s not why I bought it.For what it is, for the price it is - you will not find a better product really hence the 5 star review.I would prefer it were not a button to release as when swapping sockets it can be awkward, but cheaper ratchets generally tend to be.All in yes I recommend this product for a home mechanic or DIYer, and I would recommend it as a temporary tool for a professional - although how well it stands up to workshop abuse remains to be seen.

Absolutely loved this flexible ratchet size 3/8 I brought this to go with a oil filter removal socket as the oil filter is slightly angled and this ratchet made it so easy to replace my oil filter on my Peugeot partner van and it's very good quality.

Needed a fairly cheap ratchet to do some work on the car. I'm no street mechanic, I don't do work often but I know what i'm doing (sometimes.. lol).Does the job, feels like it'll hold up but it's not a premium tool.
