【KTC】9.5sq. 72-Gear Swivel Ratchet Handle Review
Excellent Ratchet
This Ratchet has a high quality luxurious feel. I have used twice since recieveing more than a week ago and find myself reaching for it between projects just to appreciate the feeling of it in my hand. This tool is very useful in tight spaces working on the back of the engine block between the block and firewall, or underneath the windshield cowl. The swivel provides a favorable angle, and the ratchet offers low backdrag and lots of leverage. I am on the east coast of the USA and DHL delivered this package in only 36 hours. Webike is an excellent vendor.

It's still good
I think it is indeed KTC. I have never used SwivelRatchet before.
The head part is small, and the swivel can be adjusted to your liking, making it easy to use.
The Knurl on the Grip is just right for my middle finger, and it is easy to apply force.
The surface finish is also beautiful, and although it is not as good as Nepros, the shine of the Plating is good and satisfies the sense of ownership.

Handlebar feels good with 90-degrees rotation
I bought it because it can be tightened and seems to be able to be turned quickly at the clamping place.
It has replaced the ordinary Ratchet wrench and is now one of the Main tools.
About 55 Nm (Axle Shaft) is the upper Torque value I have used, but
We have been able to use the system without any problems.
I guess the fact that the handlebar turns more than 180 degrees is the selling point.
The handlebar swings in both directions even when it is straightened for fast turning, so it is difficult to turn the handlebar during fast turning.
The ratchet part can be maintained (parts are available), so it can be used for a long time.
It is good for those who are looking for a Ratchet wrench in the future.

The switching lever may be difficult to turn…
I bought the KTCSwivelRatchet because it was the right length.
The total length is 180mm.
Overall, it's good, but Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) The height of the switching lever is too low to turn it quickly.
It might be a little annoying…
Quantity:I have to turn it like I'm pushing the toes of my 2pc fingers to switch it.
Is it just a matter of getting used to it?
I can turn the Straight SwivelRatchet quickly, though.
However, I haven't used Straight's SwivelRatchet because its length is too short.
