Great product
Great product for beginners or professional use. A locking flex head ratchet is a must have tool.

Best ratchet on the market
This is the best hand ratchet I've ever used hands down. Its slim profile lets you get into some tight places and under dashes, and at 12" in length you have better leverage over most ratchets, while still being able to get it into places. The locking feature is an absolute must have for a flexhead ratchet, and it has very little resistance in the head, must less than a Snap-on, which makes it a lot easier to work out a bolt that's just barely too tight for unthreading by finger but too loose for most ratchets.

Excellent ratchet. I absolutely love it. Only complaint, or maybe suggestion rather, would be to add a quick release feature. Otherwise, perfect
Great ratchet. I've had snap on ratchets, Cornwell etc and i like matco more. The only issue I have is I wish it had a quick release option. Otherwise, flawless ratchet. I use it every single day and my matco guy is the bomb, snap on and others won't warranty a ratchet if the soft handle messes up like if it gets soaked in brake fluid or something. My matco guy will, so that's why I use him more. Definitely recommend this ratchet

My favorite ratchet
I own just about every tool truck brand ratchet from fixed head to locking flex head. This Matco ratchet is my favorite due to thin profile head an lock mechanism for flex head. Both offer max clearance when I need it most. Also, the ratchet mechanism is smooth with a low swing arc! Nice ratchet! I also own several of the quarter inch drive versions and converted them to 3/8" drive for even greater clearance!

The go-to ratchet
I own both Mac locking flex head and Snap-on locking flex head, Both are really nice ratchets but the Matco is my favorite go to for these simple reasons- Smaller head enabling me to get to tight spots, Simplicity of the locking mechanism- Recessed and detent features and the overall quality and beauty of the black chrome! It just doesn’t get better than this!

Best ratchet on the market
I've had the standard chrome version of this ratchet for almost 6 years. Only have had to rebuild a couple times but I've been hard on it. I have the same size locking in snap on and the matco has a better lock and lower profile on the head to get in tighter areas. I bought this one just to have one at home. Best on the market hands down.

The best overall 3/8 ratchet
In my opinion this is the best overall 3/8 ratchet I’ve owned 3 of them total and if I lost 1 I’d buy the same thing again I like that the locking system can’t lock itself when you barely bump it. It’s also noticeably thinner in the head than other companies ratchets which can make a difference.

My go to Ratchet
This is my most used ratchet. I like how the locking mechanism doesn't get in the way in tight spots but it is also stiff enough to use with out having to have it locked all of the time. And the 88 teeth make it perfect for jobs that you don't have room to swing the ratchet very far.
