Quality feel
Good little hand ratchet. 1/4 so its usefull for torx trim screws etc . I use it to unscrew things like torx trim screws (on a kuga) on the pollen filterusing a long extension bar. Ideal and reduces the possibility of overtighting as it gives lots of feel.

Great
Combine this with stubby sockets and you'll be able to stick your hand in any crack or crevice and undo a bolt, after it's been loosened of course because it's very difficult to put torque through this with your hand only.

Neat and useful, expensive at full price
The media could not be loaded. In my limited experience with Gearwrench tools, they've been okay so far, and I have no issues with them.This gimbal wrench is no exception to that. As a compact way of getting a screwdriver or socket in a place where you can get your hand to but there's not much working room, there's not much to complain about here. There's more adjustable movement than you can usefully use, and it's a sort-of mini universal joint.Sort of.The adjustment is quite stiff, which I think is a good thing, as you don't need it flapping about or adjusting itself, and the 72-tooth reservable ratchet works as you'd expect.The 1/4" tool can often be bought for just under £11 (as I did), so if you do fancy adding it to your tool set, don't pay over the odds for it because at time of writing, it was over £25, which seems a bit spicy pricey to me. If you can get it at the usual sub-£11 price, it's a neat little thing.

Don’t really use it but does come in handy
It’s a bit stiff but doesn’t do a bad job.

Very useful
When you first get it you feel like you might not have a use for it but you will find one very quickly. Its super high quality in my opinion, all metal parts with the ability to rotate around a lot for tight places. I really like that it helps you not over tighten stuff as it's just a slight extension of your hand strength. I like this thing and would totally buy again.

Acabamento primoroso
Me surpreendeu o acabamento esmerado e ainda mais o efeito giroscopico que ela possui. É uma ferramenta Premium de uso complementar a jogos de chaves com soquetes estriados em mm ou polegadas desde que o encaixe seja de 1/4. Possui garantia para vida toda.

Good for tight spots
Every now and then I run into tight situations where there isn't enough room for a ratchet wrench ... this will help. I have taken it apart to inspect the components; the build quality seems quite good although I've had only limit real world use for it ... so far.

High quality and very useful
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.
