1/2 Gerawrench Flex head ratchet

[9GUY9]

Does anyone know how long the handle on the gearwrench flex head 1/2 ratchet is? Gearwrench does not list any info on this ratchet on their website, nor do any of the retailers.

The one in this set.

I know that the 3/8" is 11.5" long.

If everything on the picture is to scale (as it looks to be), the 1/2" should be around 16.5"

 

[gofastman]

around 17" total length

I recently bought that set and am very impressed with them. I am a maintenance technician during the day and work for a mechanic at night. My night time employer is a big snap on guy, so thats what i use at his shop. But when using the gearwrench ratchets during the day; I dont feel much difference. Time will tell but so far they are great.

I'll let you know for sure when I go home for lunch. I have that set and love it. As for the fit and finish, it's excellent. The action is nice and smooth as well...

I have the flex handle 3/8 and 1/4 and love them both. I traded my SK's in on the gear wrench ratchets. The ratchet on the SK's was a little smoother, but the handle to head connection on the SK's got really sloppy fast. I have been using the 3/8 gearwrench for almost a year now and it still feels great.

A USA made alternative is the Allen brand 1/2" long flex ratchet for $40 at Menards. Only 36 teeth but it seems nice to me. It is about 18" long. Made by Danaher like the C-man.

I have several, the head profile is thin, which is nice. I have never had any problems with them, the 60 tooth design is good. I think the Matco 88 guts fit the GearWrench ratchets, if I am not mistaken.

you have every gearwrench ratchet........except the two I have

I think that 4 piece set is in my near future. You can get the set shipped for well under $100.

If you're talking about the Roto head ratchet, I dont have one of those. I used a buddy's once and I didn't really care for it, but he loves it.

 

[9GUY9]

these are the two I have and love.

I have 2 of the 4 pc sets on order. A co worker has the same two I do and also wanted the 1/2" drive. We both figured we could bring the rubber handles home and have the polished sets at work.

Great tool, a bit long for most situations (thats what she said) but good quality. Even better with the Matco 88 tooth guts!
