Review: Great little tool to have. - .
Review: Well made, but gimmicky! Saves a bit of time in tight spaces. It’s small so nice to use on smaller socket sizes, speeds up removing nuts and bolts providing they’ve been loosened first. The grip lacks sufficient roughness or dimples to grip really hard so it’s still got to be used in conjunction with a ratchet to loosen and tighten.

- 72-tooth ratcheting mechanism for 5° swing arc allowing the job to get done faster

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How smooth are the bearings in the gimbal? Could you relate them to as smooth as a skateboard bearing?**
A: Yes; very smooth, much like 360 degree oscillating movement spherical bearing...

**Q: For something with a "cylindrical" profile, I don't get the dimensions.  (5 x 2.5 x 1 inches?)  What's the diameter of the piece held in the hand?**
A: Paul, I don't get the dimensions either. The Gimbal driver is about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1 inch in length.  I do not understand the 5.  It is well made and has a nice finish.  Taiwan I think.  The nice looking (but slick) polished aluminum could be difficult to grasp with sweaty or greasy hands.  Knurled would have been better but I was overall impressed with the quality. Tom

**Q: Does this 3/8 and the 1/4 Gimbal Rachets have a quick release?**
A: if you mean can you release the socket with one hand no.  You have to pull the socket off, it's held on by a spring loaded ball on one of the 4 sides.   It doesn't take too much force, but no way to remove the socket with one hand.

**Q: Does it have a 'center' (between cw/ccw) or 'fixed' setting  that allows you to apply torque in either direction without change or cw/ccw only?**
A: No.  It ratchets in one direction and locks in the other..  To switch direction of torque, flip wrench over.

First impression was the high quality, second was how smooth the operation. Very useful in tight spaces and when removing nuts from longer bolts, much faster than a ratchet handle.
