Neilsen CT0811 3/8in DR Flexi-Head Ratchet | Long Handle with Locking Swivel Head

Absolutely loved this flexible ratchet size 3/8 I brought this to go with a oil filter removal socket as the oil filter is slightly angled and this ratchet made it so easy to replace my oil filter on my Peugeot partner van and it's very good quality.

Okay, so being a mechanic by trade I am spoilt when it comes to tools, 90% of my stuff is snap on or teng. This little ratchet was bought as a temporary replacement for my favourite snap on 3/8” flex head I left somewhere and cannot find.Quality is fairly good, ratchet mechanism is not bad but non comparible to a ratchet 10x the price, but that’s not what we’re talking about here and it’s not why I bought it.For what it is, for the price it is - you will not find a better product really hence the 5 star review.I would prefer it were not a button to release as when swapping sockets it can be awkward, but cheaper ratchets generally tend to be.All in yes I recommend this product for a home mechanic or DIYer, and I would recommend it as a temporary tool for a professional - although how well it stands up to workshop abuse remains to be seen.

Seems good a bit of play on the angled part

Looks well made time will tell

Needed a fairly cheap ratchet to do some work on the car. I'm no street mechanic, I don't do work often but I know what i'm doing (sometimes.. lol).Does the job, feels like it'll hold up but it's not a premium tool.

Excellent

I used my new wrench to fit a new water pump on my car. I had no issues at all & it worked as expected & even slightly better. Some reviews on this mention the moveable head not locking; this isn't strictly true. Although you cannot lock the head angle, there is a rachet that does a reasonable job at holding it. If you rely on said rachet to hold the weight of either the handle or the fitment then the head angle will flop, but I didn't see or find this to be an issue for me. In fact, I found the variable head angle to be of benefit on a couple of occasions when trying to gain access to a couple of recessed bolts. I did catch the direction adjuster once as I was tightening a bolt, but that was the fault of my sausage fingers...All in all, I found this to be good value for money and it worked as, if not a little better, than I expected.

Brilliant rachet for the price feels good in hand and also smooth to use. Would definitely recommend and received item earlier than expected, 5 star's to the seller

Für gerade mal 12€ im Angebot ein richtiger Schnapper. Dazu hat die Knarre auch noch 72z Feinverzahnung. Das Gelenk rastet in verschiedenen Stufen ein und schlabbert nicht lose hin und her wie bei anderen stufenlosen Gelenkknarren. Der Griff ist für enge Stellen genau richtig, schade das es die 1/4" Version nicht gibt. Das einzige was mir aufgefallen ist das das Innenleben komplett trocken ist, hier kann man mit Öl Abhilfe schaffen. Fett sollte bei Feinverzahnung nicht mehr verwendet werden.

Diese Knarre ist sehr praktisch und absolut hochwertig. Qualität und Funktion sind 1A. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Gute Qualität
