Kobalt's newest cutting-edge ratchet design is sleeker, smaller and delivers higher torque in tighter work spaces than ever before! A new ergonomically-shaped handle and low-profile head design, coupled with our tried and true 72-tooth ratcheting gear provide comfort and confidence in a powerful package. A 180-degree rotating flex-head reaches fasteners at almost any angle and the extra-long 24-inch length lets you reach deep with leverage to spare. Our ratchets are constructed of chrome vanadium steel, and heat treated for strength and durability, giving them a professional finish that is easy to clean.

What Customers Are Saying

The product has a flexible head and smooth ratcheting mechanism that allow for accessing tight spaces and good leverage. The 72-tooth design enables quick, precise movements. Customers report the tool has a comfortable grip and quality construction. However, some users have experienced issues with the ratchet mechanism breaking or malfunctioning after limited use, even under light loads. The product may be suitable for occasional home use, but not recommended for heavy-duty or frequent professional use.

Broke in one use

Would Not Recommend

I bought this to reach an awkward alternator bolt on a car, and at first, I thought it was actually a decent ratchet. I went to tighten the bolts on the new alternator and the gears stripped with little to no torque. I never leave reviews, but I was so disappointed with the ratchet that I had to.

Second ratchet like this, the first stripped, this one the direction tab just popped out to who knows where. Tune-up use only, and had a hard time finding a store that had the first one, and they didn't want to replace it and wanted me to contact Kobalt. Where's the "hassle free" warranty? 😡.

junk

Would Not Recommend

the gears in the ratchet stripped after the 3rd use. no i wasn't misusing it, my cheap Pittsburgh shirt handle ratchet was doing the same job with no trouble. I bought the long handle to make it easier on my shoulders and now I'm back to my short handle Pittsburgh ratchet from harbor freight.
