Wera Tools 8008 A Mini 3 Ratchet with 1/4" square drv

Auto tech at a dealer here, and I have about 6 or 7 small 1/4 ratchets, been on a long journey to find the perfect one.. and this might be it. Or as close to perfect as I will find!This ratchet is micro, I wouldn't call it nano, but it's very small. It is extremely well made. It is comfortable to use, with the excellent ergo handle design. A lot of thought went into this small ratchet. It even has the speed disc that has a grippy edge for spinning on and off things from the back of the ratchet.The socket locks on with a ball in the anvil, like most. What is different, is that this release button is THE BEST and EASIEST to use one I have ever seen. It's HUGE, and super easy to use to release the socket. May seem like a small thing, but it makes changing sockets SO much easier than any ratchet I have ever used.Love the satin finish on the steel handle and body. As someone noted, no fingerprints, if that is a thing for you.About THE only thing I have encountered, as one review also noted, is that it is relatively easy to hit the direction lever in use, and switch directions or go into "neutral" and have to fix that. But, in its defense it does switch in the "correct" direction, i.e. the Snap-on and other popular brands to switch directions. Small detail, but I don't like the ones that are "backwards".Oh, and the price. Yup, it's probably the most expensive small ratchet here on Amazon. I bought 4 small ratchets looking for just the right one for a particular job (engine valve seal replacement in a small engine compartment), and this one won...by a mile!

This is a fantastic ratchet for 1/4" drive that gets into small spaces and gives you a nice comfortable grip with decent leverage. I own several of these and use them at home, work, and travel. They all have been severely put the test and all of them have held up perfectly.

Beautifully made and perfect for less accessible areas.

Tool is a must have. Very good quality for such a tiny tool. Definitely made with love. Here are some pros and consPros:- size of tool is very small, allowing it to fit in tiny spots. See pics for comparison to normal sized 1/4 inch ratchet by kobalt.- size of head is also very small and lightweight.- finish is very nice. Good consistency and no areas that had scratches or burs. Finish also leaves no fingerprints on tool unlike chrome finishes.- tooth count is very good considering size of tool.Cons:- I always accidentally flip the directional tab once when working with this tool. It does not take much effort to flip it, and considering the size of the tool, and how you have to grip it, its inevitable you will flip it once each time you use it.

An amazing piece of craftsmanship, very small head to get into tight spaces with a fine tooth mechanism.Love the organic shape of the handle that is also very ergonomic in hand.I will be buying their larger brothers.

IF youre like me and use small precision tools sometimes, then you'll like this fine quality wrench. You might find cheaper small ratchet wrenches, but you won't find one made like this Wera. Every tool from this brand that I've purchased so far has impressed me with its function and workmanship.On the Wera website, their catalog of tools is extensive. Yes, I am a fan of this brand.

Typical awesome quality from wera! This ratchet works great, feels great in your hand and is super small !

It is ok but it is a very small ratchet.
