It is a fine-tooth single Paul design and can be disassembled for cleaning and repair it has a lifetime warranty and is double ended quarter inch square on one side and quarter inch hex on the other side both anvils point out opposite sides but they can be reversed it turns out

Those tiny ratchets are so useful for those under the dashboard jobs.👍

Nice! I have a 30year old gunsmithing set that has a flat ratchet mechanism which is very slim and compact. It has many sizes of hollow ground flat screwdriver bits.

I wonder if a snap on dual pawl spring would go in there and work..? Check out Ez red they have a little ratchet bit socket set for around $30

Ive had a old Chapman set for years similar concept and that thing has gotten me out of many jams. Working on Vintage cars and Motorcyccles over the years In tight areas when other tools wont fit mine was gave to me y a Uncle who worked for Xerox for many years and was used by the copier repair men The ratcheting handle is a thinner profile than the O Reilly one you. Featured But a disadvantage of that design is in order to reverse. It you need to flip the handle over and usually flip the bit to the other side instead of flipping a selector switch like yours the funny thing was that the Chapman set came with a pretty decent variety of bits including Torx way before they were as common as today I remember having a mid 1980s Camaro that i needed to change out a burnt out headlamp bulb that was held in by. Torx screw and at first i thought it had a Phillips. Screw holding the bulb in place like most of my other previous cars using a flashlight and those Chapman bits i was able to figure out what Torx I needed to buy at Sears to. Get the job done from what I was. Told years ago was that Tor are better for assembly line work ? Of course i know own a couple of full sets of them in various styles

With all of your videos I feel much less guilt or shame hanging out at Harbor Freight or O'Reilly's. Thanks?

I just bought this set to keep in my jeep for the star bits. All the marker lights and stuff use them.

PoziDrive is not a type of Phillips. It is a different screw head type and on a PoziDrive screw the additional "wings" in the corners of the main cross tip are also machined into the screw head. You can turn a PoziDrive screw ok with a Phillips head driver, but a Phillips screw will round out easily if you attempt to turn it with a PoziDrive driver, as the additional surfaces prevent it from seating properly.

O'Riley should pay you you have reviewed alot of their tools

The smallest ratcheting bit driver I have found is a VIM HBR3. It holds 1/4" hex bits solid on one end and reverse ratcheting on the other. I paid $25 for mine on the Matco truck but I bet Amazon carries them cheaper. Its half (if not more) the size of the ones shown in this video.

[pickerilfish]

I cannot find this set anywhere, even Google doesn't recognize it

[demolisherrap]

I want to buy this can you help? Tried searching on amazon but could not find it. Thanks

[acerhillfarm]

Better priced than the MATCO version....at nearly $70.

You're addicted to tiny ratchets and you don't even have an old Thorsen 77m open head ratchet ?
