"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 711L mini 1/4-inch reversible ratchet measures two inches and functions as a fully operational ratchet and screwdriver adapter. The tool includes a 1/4-inch adapter with a magnetic bit holder and can be used in both orientations. Manufacturer specifications rate the ratchet at 22 ft-lbs (30 Nm) of torque. Real-world testing with a socket and heavy hand-applied pressure showed no failures. The business end features precision-machined, diamond-cut patterning for high-speed fingertip spinning in tight spaces. The ratchet delivers small, satisfying clicks every few degrees of rotation and can double as a fidget. Carry options include pocket storage or keychain attachment.
