Klein Slim profile Mini Ratchet review 65200 Chromium Vanadium slim tool

Manufacturers link:

I like to have small slim mini ratchets for when i just don't have enough room to work. This one from Klein Tools is extremely nice. it looks nice, it feels nice and that 5 degree swing arc on the 72 teeth is very handy. The starter twist at the top is a nice feature I didn't know i needed until i tried this on a few jobs. Well done Klein 9.5 out of ten. Hoping for a slimline tip version if they can do that.

Its been many years since I bought a Klein tool. But back in the day, they were top quality and US made.

Nice video, I’ve got one, I really like it in my knife care pouch it’s thin and really helps if I need a little extra torque

It does look great, I love the higher tooth count as you talked about. One thing I think you miss out on in your ratchet reviews is how much backpressure is needed for the ratchet to work. I've got some where a nut can be to tight for finger-tight, but to loose for the ratchet to work, which is really, really annoying. Would love to get your opinion on how much force is required on a nut/screw for the ratchet to activate.

Also with this one in perticular seams strange that they have that big hoop on the end. Seams like it would be great to make it a 10mm end, since 10mm is so common, still a big enough hole to put on a caribina, or whatever else people would use that end for

I work in HVAC/R and this thing is one of my favorite tools! It replaced my service wrench along with a few other things! How about that Laser edge logo! Made in USA one of the last things made worth buying here!

I have a SabreCut but I don't like the plastic selector switch. Any plastic on the Klein?

Q: Are you quite sure that tool has 72 teeth? have to be pretty damn small - ignore - yes, 5 degrees, 72 teeth.

Does anyone have an example of when you'd use a 5/16 hex on the other side?
