Is this ratchet a set or a single tool?

It is a single 3/8-inch drive stubby flex head ratchet. Sockets are not included, so you use your existing 3/8-inch set.

How is it different from a standard 3/8-inch ratchet?

It is much shorter at 5.5 inches and has a flex head. That gets it into tight spots, but it gives up handle length and leverage.

The head pivots so the handle can be angled to clear obstructions. Check the joint tension when new and keep it clean so it does not loosen and flop.

It can, but the short handle limits leverage. For heavily torqued fasteners, start with a longer ratchet or a breaker bar, then switch to this one.

Any standard 3/8-inch drive socket. It works with your existing 3/8-inch shallow and deep sockets.

Yes. The compact size and flex head suit cramped engine bays and fairing gaps where a full-length ratchet will not fit.
