The Performance Tool W38181 is a long 3/8-inch drive ratchet with a locking flex head and a 108-tooth gear. The 18-inch handle gives more leverage than a standard-length ratchet, and the 3.3-degree sweep lets it work in tight spaces. The push-button flex head locks at set angles, so it can reach around obstructions and still take torque. It suits home mechanics and DIYers who want reach and leverage without paying tool-truck money. Against premium brands it has coarser finishing and a less refined feel, but the tooth count and length match what those brands charge much more for.

Owners of this ratchet line generally rate it as solid value for the money, praising the fine tooth count and the extra reach from the long handle. Complaints center on the flex joint loosening over time and on a less refined feel than tool-truck brands.
The Performance Tool W38181 is a 3/8-inch drive ratchet with a flex head and a long 18-inch (457 mm) body. The head locks with a push button, which helps in hard-to-reach spots.
