Wadsworth Ratchet Set Mini Super Deluxe 52 pc w/4 Tools

My first purchase of the Wadsworth Ratchet Set happened while viewing vendors at the Sturgis SD Motorcycle Classic Rally over 25 years ago. I remember the vendor saying, "this tool is bulletproof". I am an avid motorcyclist but was also a HS technology education (shop) teacher for 37 years. I know a quality machined tool and have plenty of experience. I have used this tool countless times over many years and carry it in my saddlebag at all times. This is the most universal tool that I own. The kits are packed with many different bits and options for implementation in tight locations. The tool is strong and the ratchet has a short throw for those tight areas. Since meeting that vendor at Sturgis, I have purchased over ten of these kits as gifts for friends and family. The price seems high compared to what I paid 25 years ago but the quality has not diminished.

Great little tool kit

Ok so the box is not fancy it is incrediably durable and compact. A basic staple of high-end machinery mechanics and machine builders.

Nice tool set that comes in it's own case.

One of these sets was provided to me over 10 years ago when I started with a new company. After I quit, I took it and other tools with me (tee hee). This little tool set has lasted for that entire time without failing. I use it about once, or maybe twice a week at work for numerous tasks. Makes it possible to reach fasteners that are otherwise completely out of the question. Very versatile, very durable, and endlessly useful. Must have tool for anyone who works on cramped or complicated machinery.I actually had to purchase a new set a couple weeks ago, because I lost the driver and extension from my original kit. How ironic.Highly recommended.

Great God folkz!!!!!! We've had it about a week and its already paid for itself. I've used it ta get in our oldest 3d printer and do sum repairs and my oldest has used it workin on sum computers. Hoowee! Yeah, we probly coulda used other tools ta do what we did but this thang made it easy. And listen folks sometime ya can't get in them tighest a places. Now th ratchet has a 12 degree swing on it which is amaller than th Chapman. I hadn't measured my Chapman set but it's probably about 18 or 20 degrees. 6 degrees can make a difference when ya hot, sweatin and got a chaw ya need ta relieve yaself of and yer down on th floor with th front part a yerself in ya cnc machine and the rest of ya stickin out. Now some more about it: That ratchet's made better than th Chapman. Now don't get me wrong! Chapmans sells sujm good s*** and its all made in the good ole U S of A but so's this and I thank its a better set for what we use it for. Now th extension is magnetic which it oughta be, that'd be a deal breaker for me if it weren't. That spline fit on th bits and the ratchet and th extension is tight and don't flop around none. Some a yer cheapo's ya can feel them bits jest a movin in there. Not the Chapman tho. Ya see them three little yeller or red pieces a plastic well one a them is for makin a kind a thumb turn if ya need it. Handy! and them plastic spacers is for if ya get in a tight spot and ya need ta offset the ratched some. It also come with a handy information chart that'll have ya wishin ya could have more problems in th shop so ya could use yer mini ratchet set on 'em. Well, s***! what can I say. Chapman's good and we're gonna get us that master set a Chapman for gunsmithin, this Wadsworth wouldn't bet sa good for that but for th work we do on th shop floor this wasdworth can't be beat. Oh yeah I almost forgot some a th wankers that do reviews on here have complained about these not bein standard bits and so not fittin in another ratchet. Well, so it is!!!! What these Chapman suck-up wankers don't tell ya is that this thang come with a adaptor so ya can use standard sockets with th Wadsworth. You folks want good honest thorough reviews with no high-soundin bulls*** you look up the Reynolds family reviews; straight from th homestead and the shop floor from workin folks that are just tryin ta make sense out of a crazy world!!!!!!!!!

This mini ratchet set is hands down one of my most used tools in my arsenal. It is small enough with a short enough throw that you can get into such small places that you can't get any clicks in on a regular ratchet and get the job done! There are so many bits that i have yet to run into a situation that i cannot handle. Works awesome in the clean room (after you spend a while getting all the grease off) and has become an invaluable tool. The only gripe i have is that out of all these bits it could stand to have even shorter bits as the ends stick out so far that SOME situations will require a stubby allen instead but that scenario is few and far between. If you are questioning this kit stop, bite it and spend the money it is WELL worth it and VERY durable.

I really like the compactness of this case and toolset. The pieces are quality with the exception of the 2 plastic knob accessories which are remarkably flimsy compared to the rest of the set. I don't think this is a major problem as they likely will not be used very often anyway. I would have preferred the ratchet having a flip switch to reverse direction but removing the bit, flipping the ratchet over and reinserting the bit isn't really that bad.
