While visiting one of my favorite tool sites, I happened upon these:

a pretty blue aluminum handled mini roto ratchet bit driver, a pretty blue aluminum handled 1/4 square drive mini roto ratchet and counter displays of both items in a variety of colors. Awhile back the Titan Mini 1/4 square drive roto ratchet was pretty popular. I for one, always wanted different colored handle to prevent loss and now they're available. :beer:

I hope the new colors entice the hardware store that carries oddball Titan stuff near me to buy a block and put them out- I forgot about your first post (a while back now) about the black versions, after thinking the same thought...

Those are nice and the colors do help with finding them when you're searching in that pile of stuff

I thought a mini roto was a good idea but the original had a surprisingly high backlash, especially for the small size, and I didn't end up keep it. If they improve the mechanism or if you don't mind the backlash, a tiny roto could be handy.

I love the 3/8" Titan TIT11301 18" flex-head, my favorite budget ratchet ($35 via Amazon).

I clicked on your links, no pricing info on the webpage--I'm prompted to sign in.

If you want pricing, visit amazon or another online retailer but, they're newly released so, they might not be in stock. Toolweb is the website for Integrated Supply Network or ISN. they are the people that supply many online tool vendors and independent tool truck operators. :beer:

I could not find it on Amazon but recently finding anything specific on Amazon has been a massive pain....tired of sorting through offbrand **** to get to what I actually want (so I can add it to a wish list and apply a comment on where to actually buy it)

I just bought the original black one last week. A day late and a dollar short is the story of my life.

I found it listed on Amazon a couple of days ago. Just look under "Titan ratchet". It was not in stock and about $5 more than the black version ($24.59).

Not even seeing the black version, only the 1/4" black model is coming up not the bit model. I would be perfectly fine with the black one unless they do a lime green version

The original ratchets are $15 at O'Reilly. You might ask O'Reilly if they'll be getting the new ones. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...inch-drive-micro-swivel-ratchet/11313/6294345

I think $25 is a bit more than they're worth--the ratcheting mechanism is sloppy at least on the original one.

Here's a photo of the $15 Titan next to the $8 (after $5 never expires coupon) Harbor Freight.

I have never been a fan of AN-ALU.
Looks like they have recently released a CRV version of the bit ratchet.
I bought one and like it.
It does have higher backdrag than i would have liked, but i think that will break in.
It comes with two stubby bits: PH1/PH2.

I also picked up their carbide gasket scraper as they seem to have the best price of all the companies offering these. I like the handle better than the Lisle/Matco versions.

Also wishing the selector switch was metal, but for the $15 I spent I am not going to complain.

Considering spray painting my black ratchet in neon safety orange. It is small and tends to get lost in dark places...

The scraper is $15 as well from Oreillys. Cheapest on it and the ratchet i could find. They also have some bolt extractor rings like Matco for $10, but i restrained myself.
