Vim Toolshbr5 Ratchet

Worth it. The 1/4” and 5/16” sides are quite handy at work and the small design helps.

very versatile tools use for smaller areas

Works perfectly. Handy as a 6 point 5/16 wrench instead of a 12 point that may not grab a rounded bolt. Love this tool as mechanic, very low profile. Expensive but good quality.

Love it, nifty tool for those tight spaces. Use it alot and never let's me down

Brilliant Ratchet. Researched many different ratchets before opting for the Vim and I'm really pleased with it - high quality, weighty and perfect for getting into awkward tight spots. Now looking for some half-cut stubby bits which are of the same high quality. Highly recommend this indispensable tool.

La compré para un amigo, por qué es indispensable para el trabajo en lugares de poco acceso a tornillos o tuercas.

I LOVE this thing! See pics below to demonstrate its versatility. Don't get too caught up in the practicality of the connections in the photos. I was just having a little fun. But the bottom line is, you can pick up an impact or driver bit set and the options with this are nearly limitless. It is a tool Pro mechanics recommend and carry in their boxes because of its ability to access tight spaces and turn any 1/4 or 5/16 hex bit, standard or impact, into a stubby. Just get one already, pros and DIYers. And as other reviewers have mentioned, this is the old Husky that was discontinued by Home Depot. It was and still is made by VIM, a fantastic American manufacturer who makes products for most of the tool truck brands. Some products, like this and the steel bits, are made in Taiwan b/c they do a fantastic job on those tools. Many VIM products are made at their US factory. VIM also has customer service as good as any and better than most. You'll feel like a Snap-On customer (sometimes better!) in dealing with them. I do have an alternative, an adapter set that turns my ratcheting wrench into a driver like this (the 5/16 end on this tool has a removable 1/4 square Drive. As I've shown in the photos, you can put any impact square Drive adapter with a 1/4 hex connection in this as well). The difference is, this is reversible with a selector switch on both ends. You don't need a reversible ratcheting wrench. And it has an offset. And it's an ideal length for clearance issues. And it's $15. And it's 72T super smooth ratcheting. And it's extremely low profile! And it's VIM! It's just super cool!
