Anyone tried one yet? https://www.harryepstein.com/products/vessel-e-assist-mini-ratchet-wrench-400er2u

Wonder if it has enough torq for stick threadys

I have it and used it for over a year. It’s underpowered, but great for low torque, light jobs where there is a lot of repetition. I wish it was reversible without the need to flip it over, but rumor is they are working on a more powerful version with that option.

To be 100% clear, this will not replace a full sized power ratchet in any way, but works well for its intended purpose.

I have looked it up on Amazon Japan today and there you can see nicely the guts as somebody broke it. The shank only goes about 1“ in to the handle.
Im still convinced it has good use for fidelly rather small stuff.

The head looks suspiciously the same as my Facom roto bit ratchet.

The flipping to reverse is BIG note by all. A little more power revser button might be actual buy for me if I find it my local ma and pa tool shops

Man, you must keep busy. You lot are a dying breed.
I'm an in house technician for a very large hat company you've definitely heard of or worn lol

We have ~450 embroidery heads and ~50 traditional sewing machines with different post styles

Lots of work out there and very few technicians, one of the major brands lost 2/3 of their older techs during COVID
