- Is this a set or a single ratchet?
- It is a single 3/8 in. drive ratchet. No sockets, extensions or case are included, so you need your own 3/8 in. sockets.
- What does 72 teeth mean for tight spaces?
- Each click covers 5 degrees, so the ratchet needs only a small swing to engage the next tooth. That helps in cramped areas where a coarse ratchet cannot turn.
- Does the low-profile head fit standard 3/8 in. sockets?
- Yes. It uses the standard 3/8 in. square drive, so any 3/8 in. socket or extension fits.
- How does it compare with a fine-tooth ratchet?
- Fine-tooth ratchets with 90 or more teeth offer a smaller swing arc. This one sits in the middle: smoother and tighter than old coarse ratchets, but not the finest available.
- Is it good for a beginner's first ratchet?
- It works well as a first 3/8 in. ratchet if you already have sockets. If you are starting from nothing, a set with sockets and a case covers more ground.
- Does it have a quick-release button?
- No. Sockets are held by friction on the drive square, so you pull them off by hand.
