Offset Extension Rachet

[Bill Tattersall]

I see these on line. Has anyone tried one? Not the chain drive version. Seems like a good idea if they hold up.

I thought there was a post on this just recently?

Sorry, if there was, I missed it.

Do you mean an offset ratchet or an offset drive you use a rachet to turn? Check out the linked thread.

There is a thread on them but it really doesn't tell you much. I bought a cheap one off Amazon rated for 50 lb ft . I wish I had it years ago, would have saved many many skinned fingers doing water pumps and lots of bad words on some of those fun to reach spark plugs. Lately I've used it adjusting the tracks on a mini skid steer, not required but helpful.

I have both but I don't see an improvement in the ratchet. Ratchet is less svelt than chain drive by a tiny bit. Neither of mine would I consider robust.
