Our take on the Craftsman Low Profile 3/8 Inch Drive 72 Tooth

The Craftsman Low Profile 3/8 in. drive ratchet is a single tool, not a set, built for tight spaces. Its 72-tooth mechanism gives 5-degree swing arc, so it works where a coarse ratchet cannot turn. The low-profile head slips into recesses and behind panels that stop standard ratchets. It suits home mechanics and DIYers who already own 3/8 in. sockets and want one compact ratchet for cramped engine bays and under-dash work. Against premium 72-tooth ratchets it trades polish and warranty length for a lower entry point, and reviewers of this line generally find the tooth engagement smooth but note the head is not the thinnest available.

Questions and answers

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.
