"It turned out to be one of the coolest, best engineered bits of kit I've handled in a while, and it even doubles as a fidget toy. It's a mini 1/4-inch ratchet wrench by 711L . Yes, a tiny, yet fully-functional and reversible ratchet. It measures a very compact 2-inches, and on the other end, there's a 1/4-inch adapter with a magnet for screwdriver bits, allowing the tool to be used in both orientations."
"And don't let the small size of this ratchet fool you. This thing it strong! According to the manufacturer, the ratchet can take 22 ft-lbs (30 Nm) of torque. In my real-world tests, I've put a socket on the end and applied as much pressure as I could muster, and the ratchet held up with no problems whatsoever. I can't see anyone breaking this tool by hand."
The mini 1/4-inch ratchet wrench measures two inches and features a reversible mechanism with a magnetic 1/4-inch adapter that accepts screwdriver bits in both orientations. The manufacturer rates the tool for 22 ft-lbs (30 Nm) of torque, and practical testing with a socket demonstrated robust performance without failure under significant hand-applied pressure. The ratchet includes a precision-machined, diamond-cut thumb surface enabling high-speed spinning in tight spaces. Carry options include keychain attachment and pocket storage. The finely engineered mechanism produces small, satisfying clicks every few degrees of rotation, providing both functional utility and fidget-like tactile feedback.
