## Description

Since our beginning, GEARWRENCH automotive specialty tools have been driven by innovation. From our first specialty tool, the Model-T valve spring lifter, to our latest Ratcheting Puller, we’ve built our reputation with tools that make tough jobs easy

Review: Well made - Very thin, extremely handy for tight spaces. Looks to be very well made, flex head locks into desired position. I would recommend this ratchet to any diy project
Review: It was that tool I needed in a bind. - It was that tool I needed in a bind. Didn't want to remove that upper coolant bridge to remove the starter on an LS430. A flex head ratcheting wrench was able to do the passenger side, but in the driver's side the outside of the wrench was too thick. This little tool did the job. The fact that you can lock the position of the head is just another perk of this little guy. Some reviews day it is not durable. The ratchet head is small, but the handle is relatively long in comparison. I would in no way expect this thing to handle a lot of torque, but it's far strong enough for its size. Too me this tool has been worth every penny and then some. If you're a tool guy this little thing is a must.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Description is confusing. Is this a quick release head or not?**
A: no, it's a 1/4" hex bit with a 1/4" square drive with detent ball. the hex end passes through the wratch. in other words you can take the whole bit out  the part that looks like a quick release button is actually the bit you push it out with your thumb. I know this sounds confusing but hope it helps

**Q: Tool broke does it have a warranty?**
A: If it's past the time that you can return to Amazon, please send picture of tool and the information to csrhardware@apextoolgroup.com

**Q: Can i use a quarter inch hex shank 3/8 adapter with this? To use 3/8 sockets as well?**
A: 81127 -1/4" Drive 1/4" F x 3/8" M Adapter | GEARWRENCH

**Q: hex bit or socket end m. Does it stick out out say more than 3/16 of an inch? Is it secure or can it fall out easily?**
A: The 1/4” square drive protrudes about 7/16” from the face of the ratchet. It is adequately held in place with a spring system. Easily removable and the ratchet head accepts any 1/4” hex head tip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic tool
*by O***N on January 11, 2026*

As mentioned in other reviews, it's not for heavy duty use. Keeping that in mind, it's an awesome tool when you need to work in a tight space. I bought one for my work box and another one to keep at home.
