@@croaton07 watch the above video. Choose evidence not some random dude on the Internet telling lies. It held up to the same torque all the other ratchets did
There's a European company that makes ratchets that you can turn by rotating the grip on the handle, so you don't need to rotate the ratchet itself at all and go significantly faster
@@roxthedumbhyena Thankfully junk like this is rare, the few times I’ve been in a situation that I LITERALLY had zero other options, was when I’ve had to use swivel sockets. Almost never need them but sometimes there the only thing that’ll work
My Dad had a ratchet like that made in the 50's. If you could get any motion of the arm at all it was enough to turn the socket. But it was pretty worn and if you put much torque on it all of a sudden it would slip. I've still got a couple scars from when I was a young'un and put too much trust in that ratchet. There were times though that it sure came in handy. All those tools sold at an auction sale years ago now. There's a few of them I wish I had, that's one of them.
@@Andytlp Yeah, it's hard to come up with something new. You get a clever idea and some old timer says "that's just like that tool we had back when I was a kid" ;) I think dad called it an aviation ratchet. I suppose it could be handy for getting into tight spots as airplanes of the era weren't known for being roomy and spread out. He had some friends that were mechanics, he probably got it from one of them as like I say it was a bit worn. I'd give this one a try but I don't really do much with 3/8. May give it a try anyway just for the memories.
Many things never get sold. No matter how hard the times. Moms and pops tools, toys, anything with the slightest memory of them behind or tied to bass gotta stay with you forever. Next time you use said item, you may have another set of eyes over head watching them put to use, like the good ol days. Or maybe even visit you and help finish that project… definitely had an Angel in the shop find a lost 10mm so I could finish a job.
@@aaroncopas4566 I agree. And I have some of Dad's tools. But I didn't get a lot of say in what happened to a most of the Dad's stuff. Mom had an auction sale that took me by surprise and by the time I found out about it it was just a few days away and much of the stuff had already been sorted, and anything they thought was "junk" was already thrown away. I pulled some tools out, as well as other items that had meaning to me. But there were some tools I didn't find - and there were a lot of antique cars and tractors that I had to help the auctioneers with, so I didn't have much time for looking. I wasn't too happy about all that, but it was a hard time for Mom, she'd lost her husband of 60 years and it wasn't worth making a fuss over things that when all was said and done were just stuff.
@@Zoroaster4then u haven’t done much of any work on cars, I absolutely need this and it should get what i need it to get, it doesn’t have to break welds, chances are I couldn’t get near enough pressure in the cramped space i would use it in. This would have been the bees knees the other week with an Isuzu transmission. Lots of little increments that was really pissing me off cause it would be just hard enough i could not turn with fingers. Half the time I couldn’t get a rachet tooth and would have to reach up, take wrench off bolt, reset the socket, drop wrench on face, reset again and get another click. Wish it had a thinner head like a husky or snapon instead of that roundness. Looks cheapy
That's actually a really good point. I can imagine a situation where this tool is required, but it would have to be incredibly rare. Not sure what kind of work where this would come up often enough for this to be part of the toolkit
You usually can find a way to get the head through, but without wiggle room for the handle. Seriously, if you've done a bit of car work in your life, you'd know that this demonstration is perfectly fine
My special ratchet still turns the socket with the handle in a fixed position by turning (twisting) the handle !! No right or left movement is necessary. It is a fantastic tool.
What? I don't think I've ever seen one but it sounds like something I need. Always in a tight space trying to hold the socket just to get the ratchet to catch for a 1 click turn, 30 minutes later I have 1 bolt loose, only 4 more to go now.
Impressive. I bet you could turn a nut with the sidewalls pressed all the way up against the shaft of the tool it you applied a vibration to it (phrasing). Not enough to tighten it properly but that'd be one hell of a demo.
I have 0 degree ratchets from over 30 years ago from autozone. They work great on smaller stuff. Still need the ratchets for 1/2" and bigger in my field. Those 0 degree slip with too much torque. They serve the purpose for what I need on the small stuff.

this rachet has a gear ratio of lower than 1:1 meaning it will have low torque and also break easy
@@KimoKimochii What on earth are you talking about? there are no "ratios" involved, it doesn't even have gears in it...
"I can do it not even touching the side walls."
Same bro, that's why she left me
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
А теперь сравните механизм на прочность.
I LITERALLY NEED THIS
Omg what a lifesaver
There's a European company that makes ratchets that you can turn by rotating the grip on the handle, so you don't need to rotate the ratchet itself at all and go significantly faster
Stanley makes one too
If you’re turning the handle like a screw driver can you get much torque onto the fastener?
@@SammyP96nope
I would like to track down who makes this! Sounds better
@@SammyP96 it can still be turned like a normal ratchet when you need more ugga duggas
We’re always coming up with these better products for bad situations. Can the engineers not just stop creating these scenarios in the first place?
Been working on cars for a good 10 years now. Never been in this TV ad situation before
@@roxthedumbhyena Thankfully junk like this is rare, the few times I’ve been in a situation that I LITERALLY had zero other options, was when I’ve had to use swivel sockets. Almost never need them but sometimes there the only thing that’ll work
Just don't work for an american brand like Ford and you'll be just fine
I'm sure it's by design
@@roxthedumbhyena Uh! Never worked on a Renault?
This should be used everywhere.
I remember my teacher saying that a mechanics worst enemy is the one who designs the vehicles.
If i dont hear my ratchet make the sound, i aint want it lol
My thoughts exactly… just like electric cars… “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT PUT ON FLOWMASTER 40s!?!?”
@@davidwhite7162😂😂😂
Same here. Like my keyboard, no sound no fun.😂
That criekk criekk sound is a must. Ahahaha
My Dad had a ratchet like that made in the 50's. If you could get any motion of the arm at all it was enough to turn the socket. But it was pretty worn and if you put much torque on it all of a sudden it would slip. I've still got a couple scars from when I was a young'un and put too much trust in that ratchet. There were times though that it sure came in handy. All those tools sold at an auction sale years ago now. There's a few of them I wish I had, that's one of them.
Sounds like these people rediscovered it or found the old patent.
@@Andytlp Yeah, it's hard to come up with something new. You get a clever idea and some old timer says "that's just like that tool we had back when I was a kid" ;) I think dad called it an aviation ratchet. I suppose it could be handy for getting into tight spots as airplanes of the era weren't known for being roomy and spread out. He had some friends that were mechanics, he probably got it from one of them as like I say it was a bit worn. I'd give this one a try but I don't really do much with 3/8. May give it a try anyway just for the memories.
@@xlerb2286could always use adapters
Many things never get sold. No matter how hard the times. Moms and pops tools, toys, anything with the slightest memory of them behind or tied to bass gotta stay with you forever. Next time you use said item, you may have another set of eyes over head watching them put to use, like the good ol days. Or maybe even visit you and help finish that project… definitely had an Angel in the shop find a lost 10mm so I could finish a job.
@@aaroncopas4566 I agree. And I have some of Dad's tools. But I didn't get a lot of say in what happened to a most of the Dad's stuff. Mom had an auction sale that took me by surprise and by the time I found out about it it was just a few days away and much of the stuff had already been sorted, and anything they thought was "junk" was already thrown away. I pulled some tools out, as well as other items that had meaning to me. But there were some tools I didn't find - and there were a lot of antique cars and tractors that I had to help the auctioneers with, so I didn't have much time for looking. I wasn't too happy about all that, but it was a hard time for Mom, she'd lost her husband of 60 years and it wasn't worth making a fuss over things that when all was said and done were just stuff.
When he says this is the gearless ratchet "as well" 💀
I feel like this thing would instantly fail trying to remove rusty gas tank bolts on an old truck
The gearless ratchets are good in a demo but not so reliable under pressure.
I've never even been in a situation where my cheap ratchet hasn't had enough room to turn a bolt.
@jacobbrunberg that means you have very little experience.
@@Zoroaster4then u haven’t done much of any work on cars, I absolutely need this and it should get what i need it to get, it doesn’t have to break welds, chances are I couldn’t get near enough pressure in the cramped space i would use it in. This would have been the bees knees the other week with an Isuzu transmission. Lots of little increments that was really pissing me off cause it would be just hard enough i could not turn with fingers. Half the time I couldn’t get a rachet tooth and would have to reach up, take wrench off bolt, reset the socket, drop wrench on face, reset again and get another click. Wish it had a thinner head like a husky or snapon instead of that roundness. Looks cheapy
@@girthbrooks39 your damn right
These "real mechanics " that dont own a battery operated ratchet . They gotta have this . Lmfao
We need Project Farm to confirm the clams!
I second this!
Would be very shellfish of him not to test this 😂
"we're gonna test that."
"Were gonna test that"
Yeah I’m not too sure about the clams either
I like how the guy says the ratchet is gearless like 5 times then the dude behind the cam still says “as a geared ratchet”
Just put a 3" extension, get above the side walls.
Used to use smaller versions of this when I worked at Boeing on 747's and 777's. Great in tight spots.
Good for door fixings 👍
I guess that's why they're missing tightening bolts on a door
Oof
Well that sure explains the loose bolts.
Explains why your planes are literally falling apart recently.
“For a moment, let’s pretend an extension wouldn’t fit but the ratchet head still does. Now…”
Create a problem that doesn't exist and sell the solution
That's actually a really good point. I can imagine a situation where this tool is required, but it would have to be incredibly rare. Not sure what kind of work where this would come up often enough for this to be part of the toolkit
@@OrangeC7I do aviation maintenance and you’d be surpised how often an issue like this happens in airplanes. Still rare though
@@osmanosman401It definitely does exist...
You usually can find a way to get the head through, but without wiggle room for the handle. Seriously, if you've done a bit of car work in your life, you'd know that this demonstration is perfectly fine
Внутри механизма, очень маленькие зубья на шестерëнках, это значит, что он не предназначен, для больших нагрузок
If he can show me one time he actually needed this Ill buy one
This just means more fasteners in more difficult locations.
The tool arms race is real.
The moment this becomes the solution to my problem, I'm in way over my head
I'm sold on the Zero AS LONG AS, it's no more expensive than the one purchased at Auto Zone. I'm not paying a penny more.
My special ratchet still turns the socket with the handle in a fixed position by turning (twisting) the handle !! No right or left movement is necessary. It is a fantastic tool.
Yeah those rotating handle ones are cool and handy af
I own one that I acquired awhile ago and I don’t even know what brand it is. Some Chinese garbage but I will say that it is an interesting feature
What? I don't think I've ever seen one but it sounds like something I need. Always in a tight space trying to hold the socket just to get the ratchet to catch for a 1 click turn, 30 minutes later I have 1 bolt loose, only 4 more to go now.
@@Asian_Dora... chinese garbage should be thrown away.
That's interesting.. never heard of that
Electric ratchet enters the chat
in what world can u fit an electric ratchet in there
@@yoloboogie3674obviously with 3 extensions. Duh
@@yoloboogie3674he’s got a peanut brain just leave him be
hahahaaaaa .
Right? The ratchet body wouldn’t even fit between the two wall sections… let alone most places you’d actually need to use it..
now that's a nice invention. you need that shit like every other day as a mechanic
silence testing idea is great welldone to the employeeeee
Someone give that man a short extension bar.
Great comment
😂😂😂
С другой стороны надо крутить
Или головку по длинней 😅
10 hours later... and now we have the bolt fully tightened.
Impressive. I bet you could turn a nut with the sidewalls pressed all the way up against the shaft of the tool it you applied a vibration to it (phrasing). Not enough to tighten it properly but that'd be one hell of a demo.
I have 0 degree ratchets from over 30 years ago from autozone. They work great on smaller stuff. Still need the ratchets for 1/2" and bigger in my field. Those 0 degree slip with too much torque. They serve the purpose for what I need on the small stuff.
2 days later when the grease drys up and there goes your zero force ratcheting
Zero degrees is when you don’t move the handle.
U shud get calculus.
they mean _Lim θ -> 0_
@@Xayuap soooo, what im hearing is not 0. you can say not zero however you want, but if its not 0=0 then guess what, its not 0, because 0=0.
yeah, but you'll understand if he says differendial or δ ?
@@Xayuap My brother in christ, the title of this video is “True ZERO Degree Ratchet!”. You’re basically saying that 1 - 1 = 0, ergo 1 = 0.
think about it,
¿why would you move a ratchet by 0⁰?
that wouldn't make sense.
true zero degree means any degree,
even really small.
I’ve already watched this like 7 times
I don’t know why CZcams wants me to keep watching it
That’s useful in certain tight spaces but in most just use an extension
The first time I seen an ad for one of these I thought it wasn’t needed but after working at an auto shop for a bit I realize how useful this would be
until you realize they have terrible torque and bust pretty fuckin fast
Just use an extension and get the handle above the blocks. 😂
You're silly 😂
@@jamesmorrissey167 He is being silly but honestly that is my solution to 90% of situation like this. Extensions and swivels.
Enough swivels and extensions to get my impact on it!
Lowes sells one where the handle turns like a screwdriver and does the same thing in a different way. Didn't cost very much either
Thanks to those brilliant engineers we have
I loved my Stanley rotator, I didn't even need to move the ratchet, just twist the handle and the job was done
@@chuharry5360 Find a cat turd in this morning's corn flakes?
Alex, I'll take:
"Who can rip the guts out of a gearless ratchet?" for a thousand.
Very good demonstration !!
you could also put an adapter on the ratchet and then the socket to make it go over the sidewalls
