1/2" DRV Lng Handle Classic Pear Head Ratchet 16"-BLK Oxide

This ratchet.is beyond heavy duty and is quality. This.ratchet will not.fail like high tooth count.ratchets. I have one of.these ratchets in all the cars I have for.chaning out flat tires because it won't fail in time of need. I have put a lot of torque on this ratchet amd it can handle it. You can"t go wrong for the price and dependability. Highly recommend.

Nice durable ratchet. Used this to break lug nuts for tire rotation on my truck, worked great.

This is the perfect all-around 1/2” ratchet. If you don’t have a huge arsenal of tools, and you need a 1/2” ratchet that can handle a wide spectrum of tasks, this is your ticket. This is ideal for the larger hardware - brake mounting bolts, ball joints, body mounting bolts, engine mounts, control arms, pulley bolts, manifold bolts, etc. It’s not exactly a breaker bar, but the mechanism is really stout and it’s long handle will easily convince those rusty nuts to submit to your will. There’s also something to be said about the value for your money. An American made, life-long tool for well under $100? I’ll take two, please. Pro tip: take the head apart and grease the mechanism - it really smooths this thing out and makes it a pleasure to use.

This is a solid wrench, needed a new wrench to knock out some routine maintenance and I am now trying buy things for life or as long as possible. Nice solid tool made in USA so that a plus, support these business's we have got to be competitive.

I bought this ratchet because it was proto. I have a lot of tools and proto had been a previous been known to me as a good quality tool. This ratchet is less refined and coast toothed than many other ones I have. The knurl on the handle is very rough. That being said I do belive it will wear in and I also believe this ratchet will last. While it is a less refined tool than I am used to for the price of a large 1/2 drive I'll be satisfied.

Let’s be honest. This is not going to turn any heads, or impress anyone with the fit and finish. The reverse switch didn’t even snap into place out of the package, but after a few cycles and some lube it has come around. But WOW. Proto makes the beefiest 1/2” ratcheting breaker bar I’ve ever put hands on. This thing is a tank. No doubt this will be in my collection for life. Love the fact that they make a refresh kit for it too.

I bought this ratchet because it has been in production since the 1930s and nothing about it has been changed. It's still made entirely in the USA with a lifetime warranty and has a publicly available internal rebuild kit. The ratchet is dual pawl with single tooth engagement in either direction; each pawl is simply a rectangular shaped piece of steel that engages the teeth on the gear wheel (one edge of the pawl fits between two teeth of the gear). This beast of a ratchet sounds exactly like a roller coaster cranking up a hill for its first big drop, very industrial, I love it. So far, I have used this ratchet to loosen/tighten the lug-nuts on my cars for tire rotations and other general automotive maintenance and it is a bull of a tool. The knurled handle provides a massive amount of grip and the steel is solid, making easy work of the lug-nuts. I absolutely recommend this ratchet, as it is a much stronger design over the modern high tooth count ratchets because it's large gearwheel and pawls can handle much higher levels of torque compared to the smaller gearwheels and teeth of the high tooth ratchets.

Its strong , good length, gears with stand alot of force , its design makes it perfect for close spaces . ( play between gears is a little wide , so for tight spaces ratcheting my be time consuming) worth it for the price range , i use it to work on cars

tres bien

PROTO es herramienta para uso industrial, uso rudo vaya. Lo cual la hace un poco cara comparándola con marcas como Surtek o Urrea, pero que vale lo que pagas. Yo lo compré a $517, así que ya sabes un precio promedio adecuado. Pros. Largo: 16 pulgadas de largo para aplicar fuerza y aflojar o apretar las tuercas más difíciles, obviamente no es para espacios reducidos dado el largo y cantidad de dientes. Mango: la textura del mango ayuda bastante cuando usas guantes, si no , es muy posible que al final de usarlo sientas las manos un poco adoloridas. Cabeza: es robusta, más que algunos otros ratchets de 1/2, ten en cuenta que es de uso "pesado", así que no esperes algo delgado. Darle servicio es bastante sencillo, viene con tornillos Phillips (cruz), échale poquita grasa de litio y reducirá el ruido que hace y a sus vez prolongará la vida útil del mecanismo. Cons: Peso: no tengo el peso exacto, pero te puedo decir que si es pesado, no lo recomiendo si trabajas con los brazos hacia arriba o a la altura de los hombros, te cansará bastante. Un pro que tiene es que el peso está bastante bien balanceado, ni muy orientado hacia la cabeza o el mango. Cuidado: no lo dejes a la interperie, y si lo mojas, sécalo. Al no ser cromado se oxidara mucho más fácil. Usa un poco de aceite en el cuerpo del ratchet para que tenga un poco de proyección extra. Cuida de el y te durará durante años sin que te ocasiones ningún problema.

Produto excelente, linha profissional da Stanley. Comprei para tirar e apertar os parafusos da roda do carro. Pra essa função é ideal, o braço de 40cm proporciona um aperto seguro, firme e também facilita quando vou tirar as porcas. Sistema de engrenagens robusto, simples e fácil, aguenta o torque dos apertos tranquilamente. Feito pra durar e para o uso profissional. A cobertura preto fosco na pintura é resistente e deixa a ferramenta com um aspecto mais profissional ainda.

Have found this to be a great ratchet for the industrial journeyman. Its great value for the money. Not a super nice finish so who cares about scratches. Feels solid and durable. Just a nice length, about a 1/3 longer than a normal ratchet so it fits easy into rolling tool box that gets tossed around job to job. Also with the length I find myself just grabbing this one over a regular ratchet anyways because I might be up on a machine and never know if I need a little extra torque or reach and its not so big that its just in the way to carry. Nice to see no plastic parts and good solid steel inside. Glad they added loctite to the screws, I usually do this myself as I’ve had a couple ratchets fall apart due to the screws shaking loose.

En la descripción del producto dice Hecho En los Estados Unidos y en el empaque dice claramente Hecho en China. Ya no es marca PROTO original como estábamos acostumbrados a la calidad de esta marca.
