VIMTools HBR4 Ratchet Bit, 4.1"

Review VIM Tools HBR4 Ratchet BitTitle: I Like it so much I’ve already bought a second oneFor many years I have carried a 1/4” ratchet driver in my tool belt, both for getting into tight spaces, for general use, and for when I need more torque than a screwdriver provides but still want to “feel” what I’m doing.A few months ago my trusty ratchet driver died, and I began searching around here on amazon and elsewhere for a replacement. Thanks to the good folks who take time to leave thoughtful reviews, I decided to give this ratchet a try, and I must say it’s a huge step up from my old one.It has a much finer ratchet effect due to it’s large number of teeth (52 I think). That means it works much more quickly in confined spaces. It also gives it a lovely feel, like a fine precision instrument (which, indeed it is).The head is tiny, even smaller than my original tool, which is a huge plus.All parts, with the exception of the grip area of the handle, are steel, including the tiny reverse lever. I mention this because I recall one review that stated it was plastic.The bit is held tightly in place by friction, and there is a through hole which makes it easy to remove the tightly held bits. You can rotate the black metal ring for quick threading, and use the handle to finish when things tighten up.For the modest price, this is a very good value.If you constantly use 1/4” drive bits as I do, you should definitely consider this high quality, modestly priced tool.

A great tool for special small places!

It’s small perfect when you don’t want to pull a big tool, you can use this instead

The tool is perfect for working on a vehicle in tight positions. It holds the bit very well, had no issues. It's not difficult to remove the bit when you would like to. I was able to apply all the torque I needed to without breaking the tool or stripping anything. Very happy to have it in my ever growing home mechanic tool supply. I'll update if anything changes. 5-4-2020.

Really, really tiny - like a 1/8 scale model. But well made and it works. Seems higher quality than the similar ratchet from Ares.

I searched long and hard for a low profile driver for 1/4" bits. Lot's of questionable quality out there with other brands of low profile drivers, but something drew me to this one.I recently got myself into a tight spot with some bolts and I have A LOT of tools....but it was a "my kingdom for a low profile driver" situation. Nothing I had could do what this little thing does. What should have taken me 5 minutes, took me more like 30 minutes of complete aggravation. So for the price, this is a very valuable tool to me. The quality of it is very impressive. it adds nearly ZERO in length to the bit your are trying to use.It also surprised me a great to learn that they figured out a clever way to retain the bit so it doesn't fall out.If you already having a ratcheting 1/4" wrench, you "could" use that, but you will be lacking two major components. 1, it will be difficult to apply force towards the bolt. 2, your bit can easily just fall out and you could drop it and lose it. So this is definitely a unique and high value little thing to have.I love it!

This thing is the coolest the Build quality is amazing. Easy to use and works almost everywhere.

Does just what I need it to. Holds the it's tight so they won't fall off

This is a nice tool. I wish there was a long version as well

Solo el mango plástico es muy grueso

思ってた以上に早く届いて良かったです。使いやすいし、品質も良い感じ
