hey man, sometimes we just all mishear shit, anyone who says otherwise, just doesn't wanna believe their ears didn't hear it right/brain didn't understand it right XD!
I'd like to see a post-torque test. Will it work after normal use? I understand it is just tapered rollers. What happens when the 200lb gorilla has a bad day, and yanks on the thing? (our gorillas get much larger than 200lbs) What about a kick? Cheater bar, and a sledge hammer? "why would you do that to a ratchet?" Because, what works, works. If it doesn't work, I don't care what is broken.
Don't get me wrong. There's maybe one or two instances as a diesel mechanic I could use this tool. But my general rule of thumb is. If I can't get the head of my ratchet into a space. I probably got to go at a different angle or use different tool to get that bolt
See I understand that but how many quarter turn areas have you used a ratchet on where it clicks like 3 times….this thing would get it done in a fraction of a time in most cases it seems…just wondering how durable it is
Which is the point. People trying to talk about how it holds up or the max torque are acting as if you cannot own more than one ratchet. You don't use this daily, you use it when nothing else will work.
@@hgbugalou Lmao what? The head on that ratchet is about the same size as the head on an electric one I'd rather just use an electric one at that point

My Dad had a ratchet like that made in the 50's. If you could get any motion of the arm at all it was enough to turn the socket. But it was pretty worn and if you put much torque on it all of a sudden it would slip. I've still got a couple scars from when I was a young'un and put too much trust in that ratchet. There were times though that it sure came in handy. All those tools sold at an auction sale years ago now. There's a few of them I wish I had, that's one of them.
@@Andytlp Yeah, it's hard to come up with something new. You get a clever idea and some old timer says "that's just like that tool we had back when I was a kid" ;) I think dad called it an aviation ratchet. I suppose it could be handy for getting into tight spots as airplanes of the era weren't known for being roomy and spread out. He had some friends that were mechanics, he probably got it from one of them as like I say it was a bit worn. I'd give this one a try but I don't really do much with 3/8. May give it a try anyway just for the memories.
Many things never get sold. No matter how hard the times. Moms and pops tools, toys, anything with the slightest memory of them behind or tied to bass gotta stay with you forever. Next time you use said item, you may have another set of eyes over head watching them put to use, like the good ol days. Or maybe even visit you and help finish that project… definitely had an Angel in the shop find a lost 10mm so I could finish a job.
@@aaroncopas4566 I agree. And I have some of Dad's tools. But I didn't get a lot of say in what happened to a most of the Dad's stuff. Mom had an auction sale that took me by surprise and by the time I found out about it it was just a few days away and much of the stuff had already been sorted, and anything they thought was "junk" was already thrown away. I pulled some tools out, as well as other items that had meaning to me. But there were some tools I didn't find - and there were a lot of antique cars and tractors that I had to help the auctioneers with, so I didn't have much time for looking. I wasn't too happy about all that, but it was a hard time for Mom, she'd lost her husband of 60 years and it wasn't worth making a fuss over things that when all was said and done were just stuff.
@@roxthedumbhyena Thankfully junk like this is rare, the few times I’ve been in a situation that I LITERALLY had zero other options, was when I’ve had to use swivel sockets. Almost never need them but sometimes there the only thing that’ll work
There's a European company that makes ratchets that you can turn by rotating the grip on the handle, so you don't need to rotate the ratchet itself at all and go significantly faster
If you used your brain you would know there's plenty of scenarios where there's space to fit a ratchet head but not enough space to turn the ratchet. You should learn about tools and how put in hard work. Stop playing video games all day in your mom's basement and learn some basic skills kid. McDonalds isn't teaching you enough.
That's actually a really good point. I can imagine a situation where this tool is required, but it would have to be incredibly rare. Not sure what kind of work where this would come up often enough for this to be part of the toolkit
You usually can find a way to get the head through, but without wiggle room for the handle. Seriously, if you've done a bit of car work in your life, you'd know that this demonstration is perfectly fine
@@Zoroaster4then u haven’t done much of any work on cars, I absolutely need this and it should get what i need it to get, it doesn’t have to break welds, chances are I couldn’t get near enough pressure in the cramped space i would use it in. This would have been the bees knees the other week with an Isuzu transmission. Lots of little increments that was really pissing me off cause it would be just hard enough i could not turn with fingers. Half the time I couldn’t get a rachet tooth and would have to reach up, take wrench off bolt, reset the socket, drop wrench on face, reset again and get another click. Wish it had a thinner head like a husky or snapon instead of that roundness. Looks cheapy
My special ratchet still turns the socket with the handle in a fixed position by turning (twisting) the handle !! No right or left movement is necessary. It is a fantastic tool.
What? I don't think I've ever seen one but it sounds like something I need. Always in a tight space trying to hold the socket just to get the ratchet to catch for a 1 click turn, 30 minutes later I have 1 bolt loose, only 4 more to go now.
Man i must be getting old but this really excited me lol. There have been so many situations over the years that this would have been a miracle tool for me
I have been using the Kobalt gearless ratchet for last 15 yrs and have done a few suspension jobs on my own cars, no issues. Nothing has come apart and I'm still alive.
This is a video for homeowning fathers . I need one of these! I just tucked in my shirt, rolled up my long white socks, and headed over to my local Home Depot
Is it really that hard to Google something? If they post a link but theres a cheaper price out there youd feel cheated. Now they're responsible for up to date lowest prices for as long as the vid is up, less they get called a rip off artist. Btw, they sell these at home depot. Theres one of these ratchets within 10 miles of you, almost no matter where you live. Not hard to find. Dont be lazy.
@@tazmainiandevel69it’s pretty simple math.. if you get good use from a tool, it’s a good tool. Simeon’s with 27 years on the tools, definitely has the right to say whether a tool is useful.
These are sprag style ratchets. I have a set. They’re weird in actual use. They’re pretty strong I haven’t broken one but, I don’t reach for it unless all my other tools are scattered across my shop lol. Ideally, you wouldn’t want to ratchet that in such a small space even if you can, 1 degree turns means 360 turns to move it one revolution, good luck
I got a similar one from Lowes in a set for $20 several years ago. They work great for removing/replacing spark plugs on engines with tight fitting headers.
great tool, after it you take your normal ratchet and tighten further, its not meant for torque but for tight spaces your normal ratchet cant handle/reach.
As a Mechanic for over 40 years I have never ever needed a ratchet like that . Because I can't ever remember being in such a small opening situation like that . And if I did I would use a fine 1/4 in ratchet .
I agree with you totally. I've cut the handles shorter on crescent wrenches that would fit the bolt, so they would swing around in the space I got the rachet or a breaker bar in their to break it loose. Maybe a crows foot with a super long extension from a different angle. Swivel sockets. There's more than one way to remove a bolt! Lol
Thats adorable. Imagine someone buying that wrench and eagerly waiting for this example in the real world so they can use that special ratchet they bought, so long ago. Then the day arrives and the tool breaks because the bolt was siezed. The world is a cruel, cold place.

I suppose it could be handy for getting into tight spots as airplanes of the era weren't known for being roomy and spread out. He had some friends that were mechanics, he probably got it from one of them as like I say it was a bit worn. I'd give this one a try but I don't really do much with 3/8. May give it a try anyway just for the memories.
@@xlerb2286could always use adapters
Many things never get sold. No matter how hard the times. Moms and pops tools, toys, anything with the slightest memory of them behind or tied to bass gotta stay with you forever. Next time you use said item, you may have another set of eyes over head watching them put to use, like the good ol days. Or maybe even visit you and help finish that project… definitely had an Angel in the shop find a lost 10mm so I could finish a job.
@@aaroncopas4566 I agree. And I have some of Dad's tools. But I didn't get a lot of say in what happened to a most of the Dad's stuff. Mom had an auction sale that took me by surprise and by the time I found out about it it was just a few days away and much of the stuff had already been sorted, and anything they thought was "junk" was already thrown away. I pulled some tools out, as well as other items that had meaning to me. But there were some tools I didn't find - and there were a lot of antique cars and tractors that I had to help the auctioneers with, so I didn't have much time for looking. I wasn't too happy about all that, but it was a hard time for Mom, she'd lost her husband of 60 years and it wasn't worth making a fuss over things that when all was said and done were just stuff.
machining has gotten soo good these days I love it...
We’re always coming up with these better products for bad situations. Can the engineers not just stop creating these scenarios in the first place?
Been working on cars for a good 10 years now. Never been in this TV ad situation before
@@roxthedumbhyena Thankfully junk like this is rare, the few times I’ve been in a situation that I LITERALLY had zero other options, was when I’ve had to use swivel sockets. Almost never need them but sometimes there the only thing that’ll work
Just don't work for an american brand like Ford and you'll be just fine
I'm sure it's by design
@@roxthedumbhyena Uh! Never worked on a Renault?
There's a European company that makes ratchets that you can turn by rotating the grip on the handle, so you don't need to rotate the ratchet itself at all and go significantly faster
Stanley makes one too
If you’re turning the handle like a screw driver can you get much torque onto the fastener?
@@SammyP96nope
I would like to track down who makes this! Sounds better
@@SammyP96 it can still be turned like a normal ratchet when you need more ugga duggas
Real life scenario.. With a space that small, how did you get the ratchet head through there in the first place?
If you used your brain you would know there's plenty of scenarios where there's space to fit a ratchet head but not enough space to turn the ratchet. You should learn about tools and how put in hard work. Stop playing video games all day in your mom's basement and learn some basic skills kid. McDonalds isn't teaching you enough.
How about rotating it 90 degrees when you stick it in
@@salvadorez8675 looks to be the same diameter all the way around
Plenty of times in my life I have been able to get a socket onto a nut or bolt, yet not had room to actually turn the damn thing.
@@salvadorez8675that and how’d you get a socket through the gap? Lmao I don’t see much use for this lmao
I never knew I would be smiling at a screen just out of fascination for a tool yet here I am
Not the only one here having that sentiment.
Do that test again but with even a slight bit of resistance from the fastener
Lmao exactly what I was thinking, with that degree of pivot there has to be 0 torque behind it
likely this wont work at all without any resistance. the mechanism probably requires at least a little force
the current test load probably has at least some. also the torque isn't the purpose anyway.
No dude every bolt is installed factory specs with anti seize and ample room to reach the fastener.
You may as well use your finger
If i dont hear my ratchet make the sound, i aint want it lol
My thoughts exactly… just like electric cars… “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT PUT ON FLOWMASTER 40s!?!?”
@@davidwhite7162😂😂😂
Same here. Like my keyboard, no sound no fun.😂
That criekk criekk sound is a must. Ahahaha
“For a moment, let’s pretend an extension wouldn’t fit but the ratchet head still does. Now…”
Create a problem that doesn't exist and sell the solution
That's actually a really good point. I can imagine a situation where this tool is required, but it would have to be incredibly rare. Not sure what kind of work where this would come up often enough for this to be part of the toolkit
@@OrangeC7I do aviation maintenance and you’d be surpised how often an issue like this happens in airplanes. Still rare though
@@osmanosman401It definitely does exist...
You usually can find a way to get the head through, but without wiggle room for the handle. Seriously, if you've done a bit of car work in your life, you'd know that this demonstration is perfectly fine
This cunffuzzels me in many ways of how it was possible do it like that, amazing!
Used to use smaller versions of this when I worked at Boeing on 747's and 777's. Great in tight spots.
Good for door fixings 👍
I guess that's why they're missing tightening bolts on a door
Oof
Well that sure explains the loose bolts.
Explains why your planes are literally falling apart recently.
The gearless ratchets are good in a demo but not so reliable under pressure.
I've never even been in a situation where my cheap ratchet hasn't had enough room to turn a bolt.
@jacobbrunberg that means you have very little experience.
@@Zoroaster4then u haven’t done much of any work on cars, I absolutely need this and it should get what i need it to get, it doesn’t have to break welds, chances are I couldn’t get near enough pressure in the cramped space i would use it in. This would have been the bees knees the other week with an Isuzu transmission. Lots of little increments that was really pissing me off cause it would be just hard enough i could not turn with fingers. Half the time I couldn’t get a rachet tooth and would have to reach up, take wrench off bolt, reset the socket, drop wrench on face, reset again and get another click. Wish it had a thinner head like a husky or snapon instead of that roundness. Looks cheapy
@@girthbrooks39 your damn right
These "real mechanics " that dont own a battery operated ratchet . They gotta have this . Lmfao
My special ratchet still turns the socket with the handle in a fixed position by turning (twisting) the handle !! No right or left movement is necessary. It is a fantastic tool.
Yeah those rotating handle ones are cool and handy af
I own one that I acquired awhile ago and I don’t even know what brand it is. Some Chinese garbage but I will say that it is an interesting feature
What? I don't think I've ever seen one but it sounds like something I need. Always in a tight space trying to hold the socket just to get the ratchet to catch for a 1 click turn, 30 minutes later I have 1 bolt loose, only 4 more to go now.
@@Asian_Dora... chinese garbage should be thrown away.
That's interesting.. never heard of that
This is the piece engineers planned for mechanics to have, but didn't tell mechanics existed
We need Project Farm to confirm the clams!
I second this!
Would be very shellfish of him not to test this 😂
"we're gonna test that."
"Were gonna test that"
Yeah I’m not too sure about the clams either

in what world can u fit an electric ratchet in there
@@yoloboogie3674obviously with 3 extensions. Duh
@@yoloboogie3674he’s got a peanut brain just leave him be
hahahaaaaa .
Right? The ratchet body wouldn’t even fit between the two wall sections… let alone most places you’d actually need to use it..
Wait until he sees the ones where the handle turns the head, so much faster and useful in the same ways.
Those mfs are usually pretty thick though so it kinda defeats the purpose, no?
I was LITERALLY just thinking about this yesterday, i swear these advertisers are reading my minds.
The first time I seen an ad for one of these I thought it wasn’t needed but after working at an auto shop for a bit I realize how useful this would be
until you realize they have terrible torque and bust pretty fuckin fast
This just means more fasteners in more difficult locations.
The tool arms race is real.
Zero degrees is when you don’t move the handle.
U shud get calculus.
they mean _Lim θ -> 0_
@@Xayuap soooo, what im hearing is not 0. you can say not zero however you want, but if its not 0=0 then guess what, its not 0, because 0=0.
yeah, but you'll understand if he says differendial or δ ?
@@Xayuap My brother in christ, the title of this video is “True ZERO Degree Ratchet!”. You’re basically saying that 1 - 1 = 0, ergo 1 = 0.
think about it,
¿why would you move a ratchet by 0⁰?
that wouldn't make sense.
true zero degree means any degree,
even really small.
Man i must be getting old but this really excited me lol. There have been so many situations over the years that this would have been a miracle tool for me
I loved my Stanley rotator, I didn't even need to move the ratchet, just twist the handle and the job was done

Great comment

С другой стороны надо крутить

I have been using the Kobalt gearless ratchet for last 15 yrs and have done a few suspension jobs on my own cars, no issues. Nothing has come apart and I'm still alive.
I thought if you don’t buy Snap-On, you die early. They lied to us!!
hahahaha,, salam dari Indonesia
This would be extremely useful to have for me as an industrial mechanic. Can't even count anymore when something like that would have been useful.
Alex, I'll take:
"Who can rip the guts out of a gearless ratchet?" for a thousand.
Project farm needs to see this!
In my damn near 20 years of turning wrenches..... I've never ran into a situation that I needed this.
You've never had to tighten/loosen something in a tight space? Are you sure you've been turning wrenches for 20 years? 🤣
@@thisnewnamesystemisdumb Like I said..... I've never needed something like this.

2 days later when the grease drys up and there goes your zero force ratcheting
This is a video for homeowning fathers . I need one of these! I just tucked in my shirt, rolled up my long white socks, and headed over to my local Home Depot
10 hours later... and now we have the bolt fully tightened.
Looks GREAT!!!
Im sure it has some flaws, but as a 3rd ratchet in your kit It seems worth it!!!
Problem I see, is you gotta BREAK the fastener loose first! Good luck with that!
Whoever said anything about taken it off, whenever you get it on its the next mans problem 😈😂
Difference between a slick sales demo and someone who has turned a wrench. Nicely done.

assuming you have enough space for that
Man, the light from on high started shining when I saw that zero degree in action. Truly had a "shut up and take my money" moment
They're going to sell hundreds of units because of this short video, and that will go a long way toward paying off the Snap-On he used.
Thay are poo
This should be used everywhere.
It should be a TH-cam courtesy that when you advertise a item you should always leave a link don't leave people hanging like that.
It should be a TH-cam rule, punishable by getting thrown into a dungeon for 5 days.
True, but you could just type "zero degree ratchet" into google and I'm sure that would work.
Is it really that hard to Google something? If they post a link but theres a cheaper price out there youd feel cheated. Now they're responsible for up to date lowest prices for as long as the vid is up, less they get called a rip off artist.
Btw, they sell these at home depot. Theres one of these ratchets within 10 miles of you, almost no matter where you live. Not hard to find. Dont be lazy.
@@ctdieselnutI just googled it, I found something that i think is it, but the logos and design are different. Many look like scam sites

Dang I’m 22
These are sprag style ratchets. I have a set. They’re weird in actual use. They’re pretty strong I haven’t broken one but, I don’t reach for it unless all my other tools are scattered across my shop lol. Ideally, you wouldn’t want to ratchet that in such a small space even if you can, 1 degree turns means 360 turns to move it one revolution, good luck
Excellent point 👉
Yup. I'd rather just use a powered ratchet. I have a couple that would fit that space.
@@EldeNiceexactly my thoughts.
Hare Krishna 😊... This series is broadening my mindset.
I got a similar one from Lowes in a set for $20 several years ago. They work great for removing/replacing spark plugs on engines with tight fitting headers.
My snap-on f-zero works fine… I’ve got a feeling you are not applying downward force with it on purpose so it will not engage right
Exactly mine works like a dream
project farm did a test on the best ratchet and the zero degree ratchet definitely rotates better than the snap on in confined areas
@@benisboi5469 project farm back again for the win
Look closer he has the first two ratchets in off position or at least the first one
Project farm lol. That's entertainment not research
I bought all 3 sizes of these, they are amazing! I just don't know where the hell I put them.
Now you're gearless 😢
They stuck in them tight spots
So you have zero zero degrees
Amazing, they have stealth capabilities too??
Let me guess, they had your 10mm on them? …..
great tool, after it you take your normal ratchet and tighten further, its not meant for torque but for tight spaces your normal ratchet cant handle/reach.
As a Mechanic for over 40 years I have never ever needed a ratchet like that . Because I can't ever remember being in such a small opening situation like that . And if I did I would use a fine 1/4 in ratchet .
These are not meant to be squeezed hard, they break
I agree with you totally. I've cut the handles shorter on crescent wrenches that would fit the bolt, so they would swing around in the space I got the rachet or a breaker bar in their to break it loose. Maybe a crows foot with a super long extension from a different angle. Swivel sockets. There's more than one way to remove a bolt! Lol

Thats adorable. Imagine someone buying that wrench and eagerly waiting for this example in the real world so they can use that special ratchet they bought, so long ago. Then the day arrives and the tool breaks because the bolt was siezed. The world is a cruel, cold place.
