Is the Wera Zyklop Metal ratchet good for tight spaces?

Yes. Its slim steel head and 4.7-degree return angle let it swing in gaps where coarser ratchets will not fit or cannot engage.

Does this set include metric sockets?

No. The 8100 SB 10 is an imperial 3/8-inch drive set, so metric fasteners need a separate set.

How does it compare with the standard Zyklop ratchet?

The Metal version uses an all-steel body instead of a plastic-sleeved handle. It is stronger and slimmer but less cushioned in the hand.

A 29-piece set: the Zyklop Metal 3/8-inch ratchet, imperial sockets, and extensions and accessories in a labeled case.

Is the ratchet head reversible?

Yes. A push-through square drive flips between tightening and loosening without a separate lever.
