The Gimbal Ratchet design allows the ratchet head to rotate on 2 planes, providing easier access for the end user. The 72-tooth ratcheting mechanism provides a 5 swing arc and allows technicians to spin fasteners on and off in hard-to-reach areas where its difficult to use a standard ratchet. Like other GEARWRENCH Ratchets, the Gimbal Ratchet exceeds ASME performance requirements. The anodized aluminum finish offers protection and makes the ratchet easy to clean.

Super convenient
Very convenient for tight spaces and nice to have in the toolbox. Really good quality and price. The ridges along the edge make it easy to grip too

Versatile
Works super well while working on cars especially for stuff thatâs a little more than finger tight or you need a ratchet and an extension in there but you donât have a small enough ratchet or the angle is weird. Also works for just playing with. Bought 2. One for a friend with adhd, the other for my career/working on cars on the side. Totally worth it. I love Gear wrench

Handy when you need it
Like other GearWrench tools, this strikes you as a quality tool right away. Its simply a 3/8 ratchet without a handle. When you need it, its worth its weight in gold. If you have to drive a bit or socket in a very tight area and cannot fit even the smallest socket wrench in there, this can work to get it started. I was surprised with the amount of torque I could apply without a handle. You can always use this to get too those hard to reach areas and use a traditional socket to torque it also.The only problem I had with this socket is the crappy packaging. They don’t make it very intuitive to remove from the packaging. Do NOT try to unscrew the reverse lever thinking that is how you remove it. You simply have to force it out and will likely break the packaging in the process.

Very useful
Gearwrench makes great ratchets, I used a lot in the industry and theyâre always good, I bought this one for small spaces and it does work great, off course itâs not for super tight bolts but it gets the job done specifically on interior work.

Very useful
When you first get it you feel like you might not have a use for it but you will find one very quickly. Its super high quality in my opinion, all metal parts with the ability to rotate around a lot for tight places. I really like that it helps you not over tighten stuff as it’s just a slight extension of your hand strength. I like this thing and would totally buy again.

One of those tools you didn’t know you wanted until you saw it. Great for working in tight spaces, and a fun gift for someone who frequently works on cars.

Me surpreendeu o acabamento esmerado e ainda mais o efeito giroscopico que ela possui. Ã uma ferramenta Premium de uso complementar a jogos de chaves com soquetes estriados em mm ou polegadas desde que o encaixe seja de 1/4. Possui garantia para vida toda.
TMK –
First impression was the high quality, second was how smooth the operation. Very useful in tight spaces and when removing nuts from longer bolts, much faster than a ratchet handle.
