  • essential tool for specific applications
Style: 3/8" Flex Head
I needed this tool to replace a starter motor in a 2004 Honda Accord with the 2.4 l engine. On this vehicle the starter is beneath the intake manifold and the larger of the two bolts that holds the starter to the engine (17 mm) is nearly beneath the starter and in a very awkward position that is nearly impossible to access. This tool made the job as easy as it could be and it stood up to the full pressure of my weight (175 pounds) pressing against the handle to break the bolt free. I could not have done the job without this tool. Well made, versatile, easy to adjust, and long enough to provide a lot of torque necessary to free stubborn nuts and bolts. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Cheap
Style: 3/8" Flex Head
Since I unboxed this ratchet it gave me problems. First the flexible head won't stay on the desire position with the lock in place, it will jump out of place. Second, the foward and reverse lever would get stuck from time to time (very often) and disassemble is requires to make it work again. And finally, it broke on me while removing a draing plug. Overall this tool is not worth anything and I've seen same issues with other people. Just stay away from it. ... show more

  • Quality Tool
Style: 3/8" Flex Head
I had another brand 18” 3/8 swivel ratchet that failed after the 1st use. I used the new PT ratchet to losses up the tensioner for a serpentine belt. I ended up adding allot of torque, and for an extended period of time until by arms wore out. oops serpentine belt was to short. Anyway this tool has proven to be effective and durable. I would recommend this product to others. ... show more

  • Great ratchet
Style: 3/8" Flex Head
This ratchet is small and thin and that's what makes it good, I wouldn't recommend pulling real hard on it as it's liable to break, I use it for tight spaces and it works great, I have looked at lots of 3/8 ratchets like this and this is probably one of thinnest ones and longest

  • Broke upon use
Style: 3/8" Flex Head
Does not hold up to what it says 195 ft lbs. I had torqued something to 175 and it broke trying to remove it. Got a new one ordered and sent the broken one back. Great tool but will not be a heavy breaker. I’d say 150 torque is the max

  • Junk.
Style: 3/8" Flex Head
Even though I read some bad reviews, I purchased one anyway while it was on sale. This is a terrible ratchet. The handle is much thinner than the same length Titan brand one I have, so it flexes under lower torque. The locking flex head is a joke, as soon as you put any pressure on the handle, you will hear a snapping noise, and the handle is no longer locked and will move wherever it wants to go. I called performance tool, and went through the warranty process, and the replacement did the same exact thing. I'm not using the ratchet for a breaker bar by any means, just to get into hard to reach areas for blots that are probably no more than 40 ft lbs of torque and it can't even handle that without problems. It is etched right on the handle saying no more than 195 ft lbs. Then I went to use it the other day and the ratchet is locked up for no reason, I flipped the direction lever back and forth and it won't ratchet in either direction. I tore it apart and see nothing wrong, or broken, put it back together and it still won't ratchet. This ratchet has only been used 5 or 6 times under very light use, DON'T waste your money on this junk. I purchased one similar off the tool truck, I paid 8 times more money than this one, but that is a ratchet that will last a lifetime and I'm sure can handle the torque without an issue. ... show more
