Williams B-52EHFB 3/8-Inch Drive Flex Enclosed Head Ratchet

Good quality tool and great price for the value!

The Williams B52a 3/8 dr ratchet is a fine representation of what a great American tool should be. The finish looks rugged yet nice and uniform. The knurled handle is very nice and comfortable. The fine tooth mechanism is super smooth. I love the old school looks and feel of my new ratchet and would recommendthis ratchet to anyone who appreciates old school feel in a brand new ratchet.

Nice to see a USA made tool of this quality. The action feels like my 40 year old Snap-On ratchets. Not a super high count tooth mechanism but enough for tight spots and very strong. Internals come properly greased. Flawless finish. Bought a 1/4" drive too and it's just as solid.

I came back to order another one of these, as this has been the most reliable ratchet wrench in my arsenal. According to Amazon, I last purchased one in 2014 and I'm happy to say it's still wrenching away like the first day I got it.Because they have multiple options, the one I bought and am purchasing again is: the "Williams BB-52EHA 3/8-Inch Drive Enclosed Head Ratchet,Black Industrial Finish"Over the years, most of my ratchet wrenches have broken one way or another. I pulled out 4 of them that I am throwing in my metal recycling pile. Craftsman, Power, and Great Neck are all getting tossed. I went through the few remaining and the Williams is the top standout winner.

Nice to see an affordable U.S. made ratchet. This thing is great for the price

Needed to repair my Bahco 801050 and Bahco said they wouldn't repair it due to it no linger being available (so much for a lifetime warranty). Only needed to 1 piece but it was worth the money to give my ratchet new life.

Just got the tool this morning and here is my first impression:Pros:-American made-Feels good and sturdy in the hand, without being too large and bulky.-Mechanism feels very solid as well, almost no wobble or free play in the drive mechanism that you will find in cheap ratchet.-Long handle will lend itself to extra torque, and it feels sturdy enough to handle it without a problem.Cons:-lower tooth count and single pawl design combined with close machine tolerances makes it durable, but it does have considerable backdrag and the directional lever is rather stiff to switch over.Overall, this feels like a very good heavy duty ratchet for tough jobs and heavy wrenching, although it may not be the best for lighter tasks when a smaller more nimble tool is called for.

Good weight. Durable.
