Tool Review - GearWrench 120XP Ratchets

My thoughts on the GearWrench 120XP ratchets. for the money, you can't beat them.

The prices have gone down a little since I bought them. You can now get the set for $105! (without shipping)

Thanks for watching!

Nice...I just picked up the 1/2" flex head off Amazon for about 31 bucks on sale. Couldn't find a Gear Wrench 120XP comfort grip flex head in this size. Saw a vid where someone took their's apart and the pawls are actually over and under rather than side to side.

The gearwrench has came along way. As a fellow mechanic & reviewer, you did good

The Gearwrench 120xp's ratchets are awesome! Excellent quality for a great price! Love them!

Just watched a different video comparison and Gear Wrench ratchet did better than snap on, especially the 120xp

I have Snap-on ratchets they dual 80s. And at the time when the came out the were amazing, not much else on the market to compare.

But alot of manufacturers have have now caught up. Gearwrench ratchets especially, like the 120xp.

I have some of them, excellent ratchets. Very smooth gear light brack drag very cheap compared to you're Snap-on or any other big name brands. I know a few heavy diesel mechanics that use them. One has had his set for 8 years now only had to rebuild the 1/4 once. The chrome is Peeling of them. I highly recommend them.

Excellent review. Gonna pick up the 3/8 long handle flex head. 🔧

3 to 4 Hundred would be just starting.
1/4 80 teeth flex is $140, 3/8 is $170, and 1/2 is $230. I have a few Matcos 88 and even this set of GearWreanch ratchets but those have broken before and I end up with the snap on. Matco 88 seems the least forgiving with too much force but it's my favorite one.

I have a j h Williams ratchet from the 1940s that had the original patent of the dual pawl design. The handle is bent from someone using a cheater pipe on it back in the day, but the ratcheting mechanism still works great.

Has anyone had their hands on the new 90 tooth gearwrench ratchet? They have a lot on their flex head and also the same way this holds a position. The 120xp seem stronger in that sense, Am I correct?

[harleyadam]

The pawls aren't actually beside each other. They're stacked on top of each other. (Front-to-back, in essence.) I have a Husky 100-position ratchet that functions in the same way, but with a 50-tooth anvil and dual stacked pawls. I like the design, because it gives you both function and strength. I went with a the Husky over the Gearwrench because I wanted a locking flex head and Gearwrench unfortunately still doesn't make one in 120xp. Great video!

I have snap on in 1/4 and 3/8 but couldn't justify the 1/2 been £200 so I bought one of these from ebay 1/2 it's amazing.

Why don't the nicer ratchets have the quick release button on the top? I feel like I use that a lot on my current ratchets...

[jeangodbout]

How smooth they are ? That's my only requirement as I only do light duty fine work. Yesterday I ordered the 1/4 and the 3/8 flex 120P ratchet from Amazon Ca. For an unknown reason I paid $44.91 Canadian dollars for the 1/4 inch and ONLY $17.89 Canadian dollars for the 3/8 inch ? That only $47.00 U.S.D. for both ! -:)

I love Tools! Thanks for this! You got a Sub!!!

[METALGEARZETTO]

I have both Snap On and Gearwrench ratchets. The 120xp is a superior design to the Dual 80, the Snap On ratchet is superior in quality. I could only wish for a Snap On 120xp 😂

[travisdeanjackson]

Is the flex head floppy or tight? Dose it lock into position?

[meld]

The only problem is the 3°instead of 4° from the 90t

[hachi-rokuperformancegroup]

I just bought my set on homedepot.com for $89 free shipping and my 1 3/8 snap on is $135 it the hard handle non flex head so im willing to try these out and im know they are better than my stanley and craftsman so thanks for your review

[mandehlion]

These stronger than the 84 tooth counterpart yeah?
