Second off, the length, neither he or I were fans of the length of the 1/4 inch ratchet nor the 3/8 we really just wish they were a tad longer, but they have their place in everyone’s toolbox. First off, his snap-on ratchets are tried and proven for a lot longer than a week ( Grant it, I was lending him these tools and he plans to buy his own for more testing). He said he wouldn’t have these particular models replace his mainline ratchet for a few reasons. So he loved them, but again he said they don’t really compare to his snap on and Cornwell ratchets but definitely prefers them over his gearwrench. So after being extremely impressed with these ratchets I sent them to work with my buddy, he’s a mechanic that works on transit buses for BWI airport in Baltimore, Maryland. Again that’s not knocking the Capri ratchets, but you wouldn’t expect a new product like this to knock the big tool truck brands off the totem pole right off the rip. I wouldn’t say these compare to the Snap-on ratchets, these seem more like a mid-grade tool that would compete with the Gearwrench, Sunnex and those guys.

It is a fine-tooth ratchet and you can tell, I would like to see varying tooth counts in the new ratchets to come, but 72 teeth are perfectly fine. These ratchets just feel good in your hand, and that for me is saying a lot because personally, I prefer the Snap-on or Mac Tools comfort grip over polished handles. Right out of the box these ratchets are gorgeous, they have that sleek design that you see with the big truck brands, I am also fine with them not being quick release because sometimes working in tight spaces with quick release can be a pain and after speaking with the fine people at Capri, it seems they will be rolling out a bigger selection of ratchets of varying lengths, comfort grips, flex heads, etc. I purchased each ratchet individually since the 3 piece set was not available at the time. That ratchet has our flawless MaxChrome plating, achieved by thorough polishing and careful application of chrome protective plating, to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. The ratcheting gears works in both directions with a flush mounted lever that you can switch with just a flip of your thumb. Anti-dust design seals out dusts and debris to protect the gear and maintain internal lubrication for sustained high performance over time. It also allows us to construct the ratchet with a low profile so you can work in more places that have a small clearance. With a true single-pawl gear design, the ratchet has an unparalleled ratcheting mechanism that is a joy to use. The small swing arc is essential for working in narrow spots but also helps you get the job done faster. It features a 72-tooth fine ratcheting gear, needing only 5 degrees of swing arc for each turn. The Capri Tools Low Profile Ratchet is the go to ratchet that combines performance and versatility.
