Q:This ratchet is being shown to have an excellent 4.5 star review. BUT, many of the reviews aren't even for the ratchet, on page one alone I see reviews for sockets, socket rails and even a pressure washer. Why are these reviews being falsely inflated?

Answer This Question
A:Â There's a button on the back that has to be depressed first. My 3/8 th sockets go right on
by|Jan 14, 2021
A:Â A few times a new ratchet is stiff on ball release. I would have to push on the button on the back and verify the ball is released to allow the socket to fully mount. Releasing the button locks the socket on nicely. I personally have 2 ratchets in my tool box and we have purchased around 6 more for production use.
It might need a little penetrating oil to help it move. If that doesn't work, take it back to the store and they will replace it free of charge. I like the warranty it has as well.

A:Â Hey Sandy,
There should be a button on the back of the ratchet head that releases the ball. If that is not working please either bring it back to the store or call Husky Customer Care at 1-888-HD-HUSKY (1-888-434-8759) and we will gladly get you another.
Thanks!

much better than my pittsburgh
I am impressed with this ratchet. First off, I had bought a pittburgh 3/8 quick release as my first fine tooth ratchet. The biggest issue with it was the directional switch being too loose and getting stuck in thr middle. The husky tskes care of that oroblem while also being low profile and quick release. Treat it right and it will serve tou many years. Plus with a no questions no reciept required warrenty, how could you complain?

Great too . Size and handle are ergonomically correct for applying force to the bolt/nut. Handle gets slippery if wet. Handle length is great that needed leverage on big job . Rachet has very positive engagement Can't go wrong with Husky.

This is a very useful design, needing only 5 deg swing to ratchet. What I have a problem with is the execution. Twice in two days the snap ring popped out of its channel, allowing the ratchet and spring pawl to disassemble itself all over the floor. Luckily this occurred in a laboratory and not
while working under the hood of somebody's car and all the parts were found and reassembled.
I've spread the ring ends apart a bit and reinserted it into its channel, hopefully this will solve the
popping out problem, but I'd advise owners to check their snap rings to make sure they're tight in
their groove and won't move when pressed on from the end.

Strong wrench
There are plenty of reviews about the usage and overall impressions of this wrench, so am taking another viewpoint, to the insides. The wrench seems sturdy enough, but they all do. What we can't usually see are the parts inside and their quality. So I disassembled this one to find what I could about the materials and design. This is a relatively easy wrench to take apart, which you will probably need to do at times. All you need is a regular set of snap ring pliers. Wrenches with this many teeth get easily clogged with dust, dirt, dried grease, etc, which can cause the wrench to slip, because of the smaller teeth that have to mesh. Once the cover is removed, you can remove all of the parts inside. Be careful to keep track of the pin/spring combination. The places to clean are the gear and pawl which teeth must be clear of any particles. A light coat of grease or heavy oil is all it needs after it is ready to reassemble.
My findings: The pawl is a clever design to maximize the number of teeth that mesh with the larger gear. In each direction, there are 6 teeth that mesh and 6 that are not in contact. One extra tooth in the middle acts as a pivot to allow reversal. In this way, the wrench is stronger than some that only mesh with 2 or 3 teeth. Two of my mature Craftsman wrenches are the 2-tooth design.
Normally I would prefer a wrench with larger and fewer teeth on the main gear for reduced opportunity for slipping. I will keep this one around for uses that require a very limited travel due to cramped space.
All the parts of this wrench were found to be ferrous (iron/steel) except the lever, which appears to be an aluminum alloy. I found it odd to have that one part of a different material from all the others.
Sturdy enough to bust-loose Honda brakes or Chevy manifolds.
Clicks are small, you can ratchet in tight spaces.
The socket-latch works very well, and easily, with large button which is easy to press but hard to hit by accident.
The direction switch seems small, but it works easily, and the small lever does not get flipped by accident as much as my other handle.
I opened the ratchet and noted good lubrication and reasonably ample teeth; you won't break this by hand.
You may like a piece of hose to pad the thin handle.
You must hit the socket-catch button to get socket off AND to put it on. I prefer easy on, deliberate off.
This 1/4 inch rachet replaced my sears craftsman that I lost. Easy to use. Push button socket release and a swith for tighten or loosen. So far just as good as my craftsman.
A fully guaranteed ratchet at an affordable price. I really like this ratchet wrench. The handle is a great fit in my hand and feels well balanced due to the tapering of the handle. The 72 teeth make the turns of the ratchet smooth and very sensitive. I also like the lock/release button on the top of the handle - it makes adding or removing the sockets a snap.Well worth the investment. I've had very good luck with the Husky product line overall.
