【KTC】9.5sq. Ratchet Handlebar Review

This is a useful tool that one should have at home!

[How is it used?
I had been using a cheap Ratchet Handlebar, but it started behaving suspiciously, so I bought a new one.

Was the one you received as per Image?
KTC is a quintessential KTC company. It has a solid weight, stable operation, and I could tell immediately that it is of high quality. The tool is just as I expected.

How was your experience with it?
Accurate and stable tightening and loosening.
Although the handles are plating instead of rubber, they are less susceptible to deterioration than rubber, so durability can be expected.

[Points to note]
The switching is no problem, and it can be changed from Snap to Snap, which is totally different from cheap ones. It can be used without any problem even if it is applied in a slightly large Torque.

How did it compare to other products?
I have only used cheap ones so this may not be helpful, but I wish I had purchased it earlier as it has enabled me to install and maintain Parts accurately and consistently.

KTC is the best. It is so good that it makes me think of replacing other tools with KTC little by little. View detail

You could have at least one.

I thought that all Ratchet Handlebars are not that great, but KTC's Ratchet moves smoothly.
I would say it has more of a muffled or muffled feeling.
I bought it because I thought the quality was worth the price and that I could have at least one in this price range, and I'm glad I did.
I knew that Home center tools are different from a good brand. (Don't mention that they are sold at Home center, too...) View detail

The mighty Ratchet

If you buy it for the time being, it is the first of OKBrand, Ratchet of KTC.



The characteristics are, after all, ”unyielding”and strong”.

When it comes to Ratchet, it's Snap-Fat. If it's FOR JAPAN MODELManufacturer, k◯-Ken is a famous place.

9.It's a 5sq ratchet, 180mm in length, but it does the job well even if you're foolish enough to take on a Large Bolt/Nut, which is obviously disproportionate to its appearance.
In addition, even if you continue to use it in such an unbroken way, there is no sign of breaking, and even if it breaks, it is immortal that the repair kit is sold.

But at the cost of that fortitude.
Head is Large size.
Weight is heavy.
Overly rigid
Idle TorqueLarge finite
and is generally a Power type.
You need to be careful about the stiffness of the points, especially since the Bolt under M6 is especially easy to nudge.


Ratchet is a basic tool designed by each manufacturer with various ideas, and the price is only a pin.
For now, it can be a good recommendation for those who want to have a good ”one”there” as their first pc as a standard. View detail

I thought the cheap ones would suffice.

I was using another cheap Tool, but compared to this one...
The notch is light and has little play, making it easy to tighten in tight spaces.
The Push button on the Socket doesn't stick out, so it doesn't get in the way.
This is the only thing that makes a difference, but it makes a huge difference in workability. View detail
