711L Mini Ratchet Wrench - One of the World's Smallest 1/4" EDC Ratchet Wrench For Tight Spaces - Alloy Steel - For Single-ended Hex Bit

I'm an EDC nerd. I was putting together a tool kit to take on a work trip. I didn't think I'd need all that many tools, but just in case I picked up this ratchet. I love this thing. It's barely bigger than a key, so fits on my key ring just fine with a Phillips bit in it. I was also surprised to find that they designed the ratchet to work with the Leatherman flat bits. A great addition to anyone's EDC kit.

I love this little ratchet. I install alarm systems for work which sometimes includes home automation equipment, such as automated door locks. Sometimes devices are installed next to or above other items like thermostats or door molding, making it impossible to use a standard screw driver to tighten screws. . That's where this guy comes in. The head less than a half inch thick, and with a stubby driver bit it can easily get into tight spaces and the ratchet makes it a lot easier to tighten than a fixed driver that has to be removed and re-aligned with the screw head for every partial turn. Also the ratchet mechanism is very smooth and strong. The end being able to accept a bit or bit holder makes it much easier to hold and use as well. My only issue is how slippery the handle is. It's smooth chrome and especially difficult to hold get a grip on, being so small. I solved this by putting a layer of Sugru on it, which can also be bought on Amazon.

Very well made and well packaged tool. Works so smoothly. The design gives good versatility and utility in such a tiny form factor. Amazing.

This brand has consistently made quality niche tools that have never failed me. I use this tiny thing with an extension piece to get in tiny crevises between rack equipment at work sites. Tiny but solid quality and materials. Funny enough, better ratchet tooth count than some full size branded ratchets. Would recommend.

Such a cool little EDC ratchet. Now I need the Leatherman version.

I have been searching for a stubby version of these little ratchets for a long time, they're super handy. The company had the version that fits in a leatherman for a while, but I'm very glad the company started producing the one with the bit holder! It's innovative and a great addition to a keychain. Will drive 3" wood screws without a pilot hole into softwood 2x4 as a reference (not that you should, but it holds up) Cons: 1. Can be very slippery due to their small size and the chrome/nickel plating. This wasn't a huge deal for the leatherman versions because they're designed to use the leatherman as the handle, but since this one is more stand alone oriented future versions would definitely benefit from knurling at minimum, perhaps even alternative finish options that are less prone to being slick (matte, stonewash, black oxide, etc). Mitigations: Works great paired with a little bit extender which can be used for more reach or leverage. Additionally, I added marine heat shrink tubing (the kind with adhesive) to mine which helps a lot, and I am using a small aluminum oval carabiner through the ratchet hole to attach it to my keys which I can use like a T-Shank handle. 2. The bit holder on all of these style of mini ratchet wrenches tend to be pretty shallow. They work fine for regular bits, but aren't deep enough for most double ended bits or flat leatherman bits. Future versions with a somewhat deeper bit holder (think leatherman extension bit holder depth) would be great and only add a fraction to the overall length. Mitigation: In the meantime, I found that the Steinwhale stubby double ended bits fit perfectly, like they belonged together! Now I can carry a #2 phillips and flat bit on the tool all the time. Overall, the company is innovative and responsive, I highly recommend this ratchet if you're looking for something small enough to carry on a keychain or for mini kits!

an excellent product very tiny ! My smallest ratchet ! usefull in tight spaces! I wish it was a dedicated 1/4 ratchet drive ONLY ! and or came w/a short 1/4" drive adaptor ! DO : send me one free! I will revise the review! the adaptor i have sticks out a bit (see? ) will have it cut down! that is a regular 10MM 1/4 drive socket for scale !

Perfect. Smooth operation, holds bits secure while still easy to remove. Advise to use a bit extender when more torque is required. Next one on the list will be the one with the flex head😁.

It was even smaller than I thought. Extremely EDC compatible.

Excellent edc wrench.

Excellent produit

Perfect design and comes handly when you need it the most. And good edc tool

really impressed by this, was expecting medium quality but I was very suppressed its got a good weight and is very solid even with its very small size, extremely well made. works very well, all lubricated and moving smoothly. the tin just tops it all off and makes it look so high end. well worth the money would highly recommend
