1/4" DRIVE 12" EIGHTY8 TOOTH LOCKING FLEX RATCHET WITH ERGO HANDLE - BLUE is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 7.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Picclricm from I love the locking flex head not the ratchet The toggle switch that swaps from on to off slides easy while ratcheting or locks up. But again I only want the locking flex head and the slim head.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ASM154 from The longest 1/4” ratchet you will find This is almost 14 inches long, but stout enough to handle some serious torque. Best locking mechanism, recessed levers, thin head, and maybe the most awesome colored handle (blue and black) on the market. A 1/4” ratchet at least 12 inches long is nearly essential in modern auto repair. It comes in handy so frequently and this being an entire inch longer than it’s tool truck competition plus the thin head, recessed levers, and ability to flex freely or stay locked. You cannot beat this ratchet in its class.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vespuh from Small head great for tight spaces Bought this ratchet due to the head size being a little bit smaller than the other brands. I mainly work on VW and Audi and this ratchet fits into some tight spaces. The locking flex is also a great feature. I originally just wanted a fixed ratchet but settled with this one and I do not regret it. Also, the blue color pops and looks great. 5/5 would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Amazingly tough I have used this awesome little ratchet for more than I ever imagined. It is incredibly tough for such a small and long piece. Highly recommend and really like you can lock the angle

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yamaboy from Best ratchet on the market The long and slender design makes this the best ratchet I have ever put in my hands. Plus that blue handle just sets it off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MATCO from So Smooth Absolutely the smoothest and best ratchet iv ever owned. Can't wait to ad the 3/8 and the 1/2 to the collection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SlamDiesel from This ratchet won’t snap… I tried The ingenuity to design a ratchet that uses a simple snap ring to hold the gear drive in place is a modern marvel. This ratchet has the perfect amounts of ergonomics, positive engagement, versatility and most importantly, strength. I have put a 1/4-3/8 adapter on this 12” ratchet and anticipated it would bend slightly, or feel loose after subjecting it to some hard to reach, seized undercarriage nuts. The 3/8 was just a hair to bulky, and this fit with room to spare. The best feature is the ability to lock in place, the handle comfort, the fact that after treating it like a 1/2 breaker bar it maintained its shape, and didn’t become sloppy with too much free play. I was surprised and find myself going to this ratchet whenever possible. lifetime warranty serviceable that’s cheap and easy built so well you’ll most likely never need to experience a warranty claim or repair. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but if Marcus Aurelius invented Matco back then I bet they could’ve built it in a day.
