- This edc ratchet from 711L is designed to work with Leatherman multi tools, but also works with some SOG multi tools as well. It is a 60 tooth design that is small in profile and weight. Through some limited testing, it seems to hold up quite nicely.

I need to make a correction. I stated that this product was manufactured in China, when in fact it is manufactured in Taiwan. My apologies for the confusion.

Thanks for that update. I almost thought I couldn't morally buy it.
While the description says "tool only" it does come with one each of a bi-metal th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI and HCS blade plus an adaptor plate for non-DeWalt blades. Wish I had known that before I bought the blade kit, but oh well. Since I already have a DeWalt drill, charger and batteries there was no need to buy more of those so this was a great deal.There is one other consideration. DeWalt does't sell the depth guide separately so you need to buy the three parts which make it up -- the N275350 block assy, the N275341 metal rod and the N278801 knob. Amazon does sell all three.
Just out of personal experience. I ordered this almost right when it came out. I work as a Welder/Fitter/Fabricator/Ironworker and sometimes a Millwright. I've used this tool with my Surge during heavy application jobs and it has held up wonderfully for me. The forward/reverse selector has been flawless, the internals have maintained a nice crisp action and the material itself has not bent, twisted or otherwise. The slots in the exchanger has not weakend nor has it developed any slop. Every bit I put in has held nicely and it has performed flawlessly for me in very heavy duty applications. Which surprised the heck out of me since it's smaller than my pinky finger. The shipping time is insane. When I ordered this, it took almost a month to arrive. Don't waste your time buying the tool and the bits. The bits are terrible. I would recommend just buying the ratchet and grabbing a set of Wiha bits to go with it. Otherwise, I very highly recommend this addition to those who are looking for a ratchet to add to their leathermans. Peace out and have a beautiful day y'all!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It felt pretty solid to me, but only long term use will tell the tale.
I'm hesitant to buy when there are no written reviews on Amazon, less than 10 rat8ngs, almost 1/3 the cost extra shipping, and a month or more to get it.
How did you even know about it to order it when it cam out? There is like zero review coverage, too. Am I missing something?
This is actually a high quality well proven tool made in Taiwan by a company called HI-FIVE.
All the reverse gear market bit ratchets are made by them, from topeak to Facom and MAC tools.
Theres countless rebrandings and slight variations including locking flex heads, but GM power torque I carry in the side of my Bond sheath is the same head.
I prefer a seperate bit ratchet because I'm not trying to add bits to my multitool, I just need a 2nd 1/4 and #2 for times theres a screw head on both sides of something.
I carry the bit ratchet with one in the head and the other in the handle, if I need any other bits I get into my tool bag.
I’m a plumber and this saved me, I had to tighten a no-hub coupling in a tight awkward place in a wall and this was small enough to get in there an tighten using a 5/16” bit
Love the videos! I'm a Leatherman man myself. This is a cool attachment. Thanks for sharing!
I do appreciate Victorinox’s pouch setup for the Swisstool Spirit X Plus. It has properly fitted sections for the ratchet attachments and the bit set.
Been looking for a rachet, almost went the Leatherman. Glad I waited , just ordered one. Thank you 👍
Didn't know this existed. Thanks for keeping us up to date on the cool accessories out there.
Cool bit of kit Ben thanks for the demo.
This small ratchet works fine with SOG powerpint. Fit nicely into the groove and not off-center. Suppose to work with certain SOG multitools and not all.
I found that this worked fine in my SOG powerpint with much less cant that I saw in your video. Thanks for the video btw.
Great content as always! I see you are getting close to forty thousand subscribers. Congratulations Ben!
Thank you very. Been a steady rise, but we’re climbing.
That’s pretty cool! I didn’t know this was a thing! I’ll have to check this out
Thanks for the review, I’ve been considering this
Awesome vid! Thanks, i’m ordering one for my Wave.
What a neat little attachment!
I prefer to carry my LM extender flat side up, this lets the flared adapter add some retention under the elastic sleeve and makes it less likely to shift over to the side and drop out. I carry my wave horizontally (leather LM sheath with two side sleeves), but I've tested the extension like that by lightly shaking the pouch upside down and it does well.
I was gonna mod a small ratchet, but this will save me some time!!! Thanks for the awesome vid!!!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
adds another dimension to the leatherman
Kool,I was wondering about getting this for my surge.
Yeah I’ll be getting one.
Thanks.
Neato! I’ve ordered one to try out
Great presentation, Sir.
I love the fact you have you the pliers to pull out Bitstrip bits. I hate when bits are loose or fall out,and then you have readjust them again and reposition the wrench . I ve known about the mini ratchet for about 1 year I seen it on a promo , and it was still a proto type . I definitely need both now because I went from a surge to a free p2 and thats the only thing I hat about it ...no bit extanger. Also I seen a video that someone made the T bar extanger like the one on the surge . anyways thanks for all the awesome content you always put out brother .
You are quite welcome. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to watch all my videos.
Thanks for the review, I like it.
I have the 711, it’s pretty good. Especially for the money. Only 1 person sells it. On Amazon
Paid Frickin $38 for mine after taxes. Should get it tomorrow, I just got tired of not having a ratchet for my leatherman and the leatherman one has been out of stock for what seems like this whole year
I can't seem to find this item anywhere, it looked great. I wish I had found this video sooner
The Ratchet with that Torque limiter device (use the posted link for this) is still available for purchase. All other packages are sold out....
Look at the zap wizard holster for Leatherman it will hold the ratchet and the extender. It's designed for it
If I didn't already own the wera micro ratchet then I'd definitely invest in that leatherman ratchet
Excellent
Thanks for the vid. Had been thinking about purchasing it for my backpack mini tool kit. On a side note, am I the only one that thinks you sound like Mike Rowe??? Or maybe you ARE Mike incognito!!! 😄😄😄
I think, VIM HBR3 ratchet is much more versatile companion for the Leatherman multitools. I can't see any reason to loose the force end of the ratchet to make it compatible with the bit holder.
Take my money. Just ordered one off your link.
That is very much appreciated, thank you.
IMO Leatherman needs to scrap the proprietary bit exchanger and go with the standard hex driver. At least give an option. I took your advise of the bit extender with double ended Wiha bits. The refill bit set for 26 in 1 drivers come in molded thermoplastic holder. This fits fine in the nylon sheath for my wave and im not worried about those crappy bits
Very cool! Is this the only product like it on the market?
If you use this ratchet in the bit extender and the pliers this would be great for those bolts or pivot screws that need grip for each side.
That is an excellent point, wish I had thought about it.
I carry a chums wallet with a small snuff tin that has metric Allen 1/4 bits Milwaukee brand aswell as torx and Phillips 1,2,3 . All the same brand . Other 1/4 bits Rob 1&2 and flat of all sizes with a 2" extension and 5/16 nut driver 1/4 socket and adapter 3/8. To 1/4 drive . Other slot Is a Craftsman 1/4 driver and knipex Cobra XS and rite &rain pen.And nite)Ize. Fish pry bar / fishing tool. And Milwaukee 6-1 all I use daily for a year now .
Hey Ben, great review as always! Can you confirm that the WiHa double sided bits fit and work well with the ratchet?
I’ve been busy, but I will try to do that this weekend.
Seems like it should work with a 1/4” allen converting to a 1/4” socket holder and then all of the 1/4” sockets. I’m not suggesting that it has the strength to do that work so maybe a test to see how the 60 tooth ratchet holds up?
Great video. Does it work with the double ended wiha bits?
I haven’t tried it yet.
Wonder if the ratchet is stronger than the tool lock? Sorry Ben but your going have to do a test
Even with the ratcheting mechanism it is cheaper than the official driver extension
Does the non leatherman bit extension come with the kit
Can you use this with a Leatherman Removable Bit Adapter with Super Tool 300?
This is one of those products that I personally just don't see a big need for. Emphasis on "big" need. The way I see it, there are too many good to great little bit ratchets out there that can do all the jobs this one does. I guess at the end of the day this is essentially for the person that is just trying to shave off that little bit more of size and weight, regardless of how much of a minor practical difference it may be. I know there are people out there that will likely jump on this once they know about it. Just one of those, "neat, but not for me," items.
Completely understandable.
I have a surge and a signal. Will the 7 11 ratchet fit them?
it is "currently unavailable" on Amazon. Wondering where else can I find the Ratchet fits wave+. Thanks
Thank you for the review. Where can I purchase this ratchet at?
Just pinned the links.
Just ordered it. Thank you very much.
I’m getting this and a 1/4 hex to 1/4 square adapter so I can use it like a ratchet
Which sog is that?
If you carry a ratchet like this , there is no need to attacth it to the multitool.
That's why victorinox setup with a separate ratcheting system non attachable to the multi tool os better in my opinion .
2 reasons .
1) if you apply to much pressure to scree or unscrew , you may break your multitool (Leatherman ). On victorinox approach , you may break the ratchet . The multitool is not stretched.
2) Sometimes you need to screw something and use your plyers to hold the bolt behind the screw ...
Leatherman style ratcheting system doesn't help on these ocations.
It’s cool but if you have to detach it for carrying why not just have a stand alone ratchet? Same applies for wrench attachments.
Hey Ben, email inbound on a new, cheap, pocket carry clip option for SAKs.
I honestly don't understand the point. It doesn't save any space over any number of small ratchets. It just uses your leatherman as a clunky extension to your tiny ratchet.
It feels like something you would carry as an excuse to feel like your leatherman is more useful rather than out of actual utility.
Looks well made and well designed. But I feel like I'd rather just carry a small ratchet.
I would love to see one that truly integrates with a leatherman. If I could replace an entire side of tools on my P4 with a ratchet that actually folds away into place I would.
Another downside in having the ratchet attatched to the leatherman is you often need to hold both the fastner and a nut. With a sepoerate ratchet you could use the pliers on your leatherman to hold one and tighten with the ratchet. As one piece you can only use one tool at a time.
I hate to be so negative on it as I love your videos and appreciate the look at the tool.
I agree, I would probably just use a regular mini ratchet. However, it is still kind of cool that somebody makes this. Clearly I'm a bit of a multitool nerd.
I thought the same. It also means you can't use the ratchet and pliers at the same time.
You make some excellent points, points I tend to agree with. I think if you have a need for a bit ratchet, there are some very good options out there. I did find it interesting that someone actually designed this accessory to work with Leatherman tools though.
Anything like this for the original Wave?
Not to my knowledge.
👍
You could put that thing on a key ring.
I really need this product. But i can't order in Turkey... I don't know how can i solve the problem..
I ordered this in the netherlands
You have to change your Amazon site to USA and see if the ship to turkey
I want this ratchet so bad, but sadly I cannot find it anywhere.
Mine arrived just a few weeks ago from slow postal mail from China... The Ratchet by itself is sold out. The Ratchet with the bit kit is sold out, But the ratchet with that torque limiter device....
👍 ℹ️
doesnt 711L make tools in Taiwan not China?
Link please just take my money
Just pinned them.
@@txtoolcrib ordered already hahaha thanks man
Thanks for the correction on Taiwan! In my experience, Taiwanese quality is generally very good. And besides, today (2023) as democratic nations, we need to support Taiwan more , and China less! PS: Your video was very informative, and dammit, now I have to buy more Leatherman add-ons. Cheers!
Honestly, I think I'll just make one rather than pay 80 bucks for one (which is what they cost now with the torque adapter.)
711L ist nicht mehr Überall verfügbar 😢
Hurry up and buy it before leatherman sues them
If you double the length of the handle you won't even need the LM tool to use it. And it would barely take up space.
I don't feel like this adds much to the LM tool, in fact it would probably just lead you to put forces on the bit holder in a way that it wasn't designed to.
Chinese-made? Product page says Taiwan is the country of origin. Allies at least.
Ebay listing says Taiwan, too.
711L is a small Taiwanese Tool Brand.The ratchet is made in Taiwan by HI-FIVE,the world's original designer of the Gear Wrench.
You guys are correct, my apologies. This product is indeed made in Taiwan.
Where can I order this little rachet - this 711L ?
@@dickylombard5964 Use the posted links (in the thread description) to the Amazon web store entry. Only the ratchet with that torque wrench device (the most expensive package of course...) is available. The other packages are sold out.... My own purchase arrived using slow postal mail from Taiwan just a few weeks ago.
Brother: Oriented... It's "Oriented". Oreintated, sounds so goddamn goofy, is that an american thing?
Made in China big turn off indeed, part of why I like my leatherman stuff is I know it’s built in USA.
Edit; just saw the correction about Taiwan, much better than China, at least they take pride in their workmanship.
I'd just use a proper rachet set multi tools are for emergency tyep scenario's not daily use............... use the proper tools
