Product Description

The 120XP ratchets have two double-stacked pawls (120 positions). The pawls have 60 teeth each and provide a 3° swing arc, so it is possible to turn quickly in tight quarters
An intricate pattern of double-stacked pawls engages the 60 tooth gear alternately, providing extraordinary strength.
The flexible head of this screwdriver makes it easy to reach fasteners in hard-to-reach places
The head is marked with an on/off switch that is highly visible for rapid size recognition
The enclosed design of the head resists dirt infiltration at an extreme level

Questions & Answers

I am wondering how long this is going to take. ?

A little over eleven and half

The screw handle can be released quickly through a quick release button on the handle? In the absence of that, how does it ?

The socket is not spring-loaded it is, like most of the ratchets, held in place by a ball. It's a great set of two that I have. I enjoy them very much. Those are great tools, and the price of the set makes it even more appealing.

Can you tell me what the maximum torque is? What's the age? Would 150 suffice?

To break a good ratchet, you must be used to using those one-time-use ones that you get at Dollar General stores lmao. A ratchet with a good quality will take over 250 ft. lbs.

What is the full range of motion of the head?

The flex can be done in both directions thanks to its 90 degree hinge

The ratchet is one of the best ways to pick up chicks
5/5

I love how smooth it is. There are a lot of clicks here. This is my go-to app. I can't imagine living In addition to the more comfortable handle, the flex head makes this tool even better. In order to gain as many teeth as possible, you need to brush them regularly. For me to feel the clicks in the ratchet, I actually had to focus and pay attention. I love how smooth it is. It gives me a better leverage since it is longer. Compared to other brand, the handle does not hurt my hand, it's very shiny and polished. My plan is to take it to the strip club to show the babes.

It is a huge improvement over the 24 and 48 tooth ratchets I have been using
5/5

As a custom and auto repair business owner, I have been in the business since the 80s In the 1990s. There are many of us who grew up playing with 24 and 36 tooth A bruised knuckle, a torn skin, and just about everything else that can happen under a car can be attributed to that. Under a car, any words hurled in anger stay under the As a result, most of my tools are geared in 3/8 inch, which is the way they were built. However, 70% of my garage time with cars centers around small foreign cars. Having a variety of 3/8" tools, skews, bits of different types and sizes will save so much time. But these tools are awesome, and I can surely say that mechanics are worth their weight in gold today. The average specialist has to deal with so much more in so little space and time. My hat goes off to the mechanics of today whose use of the latest tools helps keep costs down for average consumers. Those of you who are pros are awesome. Yet tools such as this ratchet, which can turn an ordinary screwdriver into a real power tool, have rejuvenated my love for fixing and maintaining cars, tractors, engines, boats, trails, and everything else I see in It will be so much fun to put the old items on the memoir shelf and use the newer ratchets to work on them. Wishing you all a happy and peaceful New Year.

Don't buy anything, just keep going
3/5

In a nutshell, I gave it a try a few days ago and it worked perfectly for the two days I needed it. I needed 120 micro clicks. There are problems with it. It jams and locks, so I can't use it. Other than those two, I have two others, smaller and larger, which are still functional, but I have not used them very How long do you guarantee your product for? It is the same type of driver that Craftman carries, but Snap On expensive has exactly the same type of driver, but they did not want to pay the amount In spite of that, they Fortunately, I still have my back-ups. I just wanted to have a look out there and see if anyone out there is worth our time. It's not something I'm aware of. When purchasing the tool, make sure it has a lifetime guarantee. A little extra will make a big difference in your life and in future generations. In return, my father passed the gifts that his father gave to me on to The craftsman is actually a master. Sears is not going out of business, let's hope.

I would not call this design the best
3/5

I was surprised to find that the hinge that provides "flex" is rigidly detented to hold the head at preset angles to the handle when I got this ratchet. It is possible to adjust the angle before you begin to loosen/tighten the fastener, but you cannot adjust the angle as you are working with It just seems way too stiff to me. Protoflex flexes as the user moves the handheld My longtime head ratchets have no detents even though I've used them for years. As you swing the Proto handle, you can change its angle relative to the axis of the socket to make it easier for you to navigate through tight spaces. Flexibility is, in my mind, a crucial feature of a flexible system The head and "flex" of this wrench have much less value if it cannot be used in real time. I immediately returned it when I saw its design and found out it was not functional. In spite of this, I gave it a two star rating since it otherwise seemed to be a A Proto tool would be useful to have on Amazon.

Ratchets like this are good, but you better like having the flex joints controlled by detents
3/5

As the ratchet turns smoothly, it provides a good grip for the user. The issue is not an issue. It appears Chrome will hold up for the foreseeable future. The detent controlled flex joint, on the other hand, is not my cup of tea. At the very least, it is an annoyance, and it was in the way once. It might be beneficial for someone else, but I would For having the detents, it was docked two stars. Because of this, I don't use it as a ratchet every time. If I have to buy another one from them, I will not purchase it with.

This ratchet is of top quality
5/5

They sell them on tool trucks so they must be tool truck quality! Unlike itty-bitty or flimsy alternatives, it's built to last with a snap ring instead of a spring Screws that are tiny. To keep out crud, wear a ring. The gear has 60 teeth for strength and 120 positions are controlled by double pawls. Quality that comes from heritage. - it's the best ratchet in my opinion. I'm not just in it for the money. A nice feature of the flex head is that it has ball dedents. The wheels are robust enough to hold their position, yet can easily be maneuvered This is a light, balanced tool in my hand with enough length to free my hands of stubborn nuts. The handle is flexible so it can go around stuff, but not too flexible. My first use of it was just a few days ago. However, I anticipate that this will be the tool I use the most.

5/5

This is a 100% approval. Snap on has been a part of my past, the Pittsburgh pro 3/8 flex head ratchet being the latest. This works fine, but you need that click to happen very quickly if the item is in a tight area. There is a ratchet that br>You know what I mean. There is no room in my apartment. There is barely a bolt on the bolt. Only about five degrees of ratchet movement. I can assure you that you won't be cursing under your breath while reading this! This item has been approved by a pro auto tech.

Ratchet is great for the price
4/5

I bought the ratchet after purchasing the 120 xp ratchet metric wrenches, and I'm very pleased with it. I liked the size of the head, the number of teeth, and the value of the helmet. Due to my inability to keep it, I sold it to a colleague The reason for buying this was because I needed a comfort grip/insulated handle for my 3/8 ratchet after getting transferred to another battery station at work. Due to its length, the ratchet has a longer distance to travel with the non-automatic The locking flex head is not insulated, and there is no Taking the batteries out of their holder by accident when I wasn't being careful, I accidentally wore out the ratchet. Neither the ratchets nor the co-pilot are at fault here, but it did require a different 3/8 because of it So I sold this to a worker who was in need of a cheap 3/8. I needed a ratchet for another purpose, but it was not the right one for this.
