Questions & Answers
I've never had to contact them about a warranty issue, and I think their product is superior to Craftsman's.
If you look closely at the images of the tool, you'll notice that under the switch it says on and off. There is no tightening or loosening, neither left nor right. You might think that on means tighten and off means loosen, but no search engine will tell you that because ratchets aren't built that way. I've been using ratchets since I was ten years old, and when I first saw on/off, I did a double take. On/off usually refers to turning on or off a tool's feature rather than changing its direction.
These SATA products are beautifully crafted in Taiwan. A tray for your toolbox is included in the 3-piece set.
High torque is not a feature of 1/4" ratchets. This is where 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets come in handy. That said, it has performed admirably in all of my applications. The 3/8 drive ratchet, like the 1/2 and 1/4 drive, is a high-quality product that has met or exceeded my expectations and has become my go-to ratchet.

Tools that are professional and of high quality, as seen on a tool truck. An honest review from a mechanic. These Apex Tool Group (GearWrench, Crescent, etc. ) ratchets are of excellent quality. SATA has an extensive tool catalog for the international market that is currently unavailable in the United States. Three ratchets, as shown, with a plastic organizer tray for the tool cabinet/ratchet drawer to keep everything organized. Chrome is of excellent quality, comparable to that of Truck Brands. The 120T/3degree pawl action is extremely fine, making it ideal for tight spaces where the ratchet can't move. Time will tell if these ratchets will last a long time, but they look great next to my Snap-On ratchets. In my tool cab, I'm using Dual80 ratchets. These are professional tools, and SATA has a large selection, making them ideal for creating a brand tool set that will last a lifetime. SATA provides a limited lifetime warranty, but I'm not sure I'll need it because these are high-quality tools. FYI. Use a breaker bar that is the right size for the job instead of a ratchet.
The pawl engagement is not precise, and this was a problem with all three ratchets - There would be two short engagement clicks followed by a longer one. The relationship seemed hazy as well. The 120- The same flaw can be found in tooth GearWrench ratchets: Apex Tools is the parent company of SATA and GW. I'm going to stick with single-parent families. Pawl ratchets are a type of ratchet. Returned.
There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but it's not the smoothest I've ever used. I like them and bought them for the 120 tooth tight radius ratchet pawls for tight spots, so I think they'll be fine, but I won't use them on a regular basis. The build quality is mediocre, compared to Milwaukee, SK, or Snap-on. On the other hand, as I previously stated, average. The ratcheting teeth, as others have mentioned, don't help. They don't have the same level of positive engagement as other high-quality high-tooth ratchets, but they're still quite nice.
These are far superior to what I had anticipated. I've already used the 1/4" on my KTM motorcycle for some major upgrades. The wrench performed admirably in this situation. I tested the 3/8" on a few different nuts to see how strong it was and if there were any lever issues with the ratcheting, but everything worked perfectly. br>br>My issue is that for the price, I would have expected a release button to relieve the stress on the retaining ball when removing sockets. I had to remove sockets with a screwdriver several times. I'm not sure why this feature is so often overlooked in these days' ratchets. I would have just bought a 1/4" from a local store, but three different hardware stores had none in stock. All of the local ones have the socket release feature, but I didn't know when they'd be back in stock, so I ordered these instead. br>br>I'll probably use them on a regular basis for a long time, but I'll always be annoyed if I have to remove a socket with another tool.
This Sata comes with a dual 60-tooth ratcheting system that allows for a minimum of 3 or 4 hours of use. In tight spots, use a 90-degree arc to get positive action on your bolt. The heavy-weighted handle appeals to me.
I have a set of Gearwrench 120XP flex head ratchets and was looking for a set of standard ratchets to go with them. Sata is an Apex brand that also produces GW, according to my research. These are a rebranded GW product with excellent quality and finish. For the money, you can't go wrong with these. br>br>Due to the fact that these are dual pawls, the back drag is a little heavy, but they are smooth and easy to use.
Apex Tools is the company that makes them. Craftsman USA/China/Taiwan, gearwrench, titan, Pittsburgh, ICON, tekton, Capri, and many others are among the brands I have. In comparison to the other ratcheting mechanisms, this sata is far and away the best. The Pittsburgh and Tekton composite handles, on the other hand, are still the best for back drag. There is some backdrag on the Sata, but it isn't too bad.
It's lovely and well-made. The shop's jewelry. Ratchets that are extremely fine and precise for tight spaces. It's built well (I dismantled it to inspect it - it's solid). nifty). I'm sure if I hit it with a breaker bar, it'd snap - This, on the other hand, is ideal for all of my 1/4" sockets and specialty bits.
