Olsa ToolsSwivel Head Ratchet 1/2-Inch Drive | 90 Tooth Round Head | Swivel Ratchet Wrench for Professional Mechanics | Premium Roto Swivel Socket Wrench | Swiveling Ratchet

I’m sure we’ve all seen these advertised on Facebook, so I figured I’d come here and post a review. I am an automotive technician, with 15 years in the field.Shipping was fast, it took 3 days to get here. Packaging was sufficient to protect the box, and there was no damage to the ratchet.Opening the package, finish appears to be good. Spinning the ratchet in my hand, it became immediately obvious that this thing was drier than a bone in the desert. Disassembling revealed there was no lubrication in the ratchet head at all, which is something that while disappointing, isn’t uncommon. A few dabs of Lucas gun oil, and I reassembled the tool. The loctite on the fastener held well, I don’t foresee it being any cause for concern with use.After lubrication, the ratchet was smoother. I won’t say it’s as smooth as my Snap On TH737, but it’s along the lines of other roto head ratchets.I immediately put the ratchet to use, going to town in a Ford 3.0 powerstroke egr cooler. I’m writing this review as I wait for parts, and I can say the Osla ratchet did very well. It will be a good addition to my ratchet drawer, and I won’t hesitate to buy more of their tools down the road.

I’m new to working on my car and wanted/needed a ratchet that I could angle for some hard to reach bolts when replacing my starter. I was going to get a flex head but then saw this swivel and thought I’d give it a go. Feels great on the hands and has a good weight to it giving me the indication of a quality built tool. Time will tell how it will hold up but I’d assume it’ll be around for a long time. I opened it up and oiled it a bit as recommended by other reviewers, not sure it needed it but didn’t hurt plus I got to see what it’s insides looked like.

Works like a glove. I had a bolt to remove in the back of the firewall of a truck, and the angle was challenging but with this, it was easier. 10/10 IGN RECOMMENDED.

Excellent quality ratchet, I use it daily. Fit and finish is excellent, pulls well in tight quarters. Nice feel in the hand, swivel head is a nice option for certain situations.The one feature missing that is really annoying is the lack of quick release socket button on this ratchet. That’s why I deducted 1 star.Even with Olsa brand sockets, attaching and removing sockets would be far easier with a socket quick release.I use this ratchet frequently and the more I use it, the more I realize I need a quick release 1/2 ratchet.

I have used this set almost daily if not daily, I have done several engine and transmission pulls and installs with this set, I have put cheater pipes on the 3/8" and 1/2" ratchets without breaking the two. I have used the 1/4" ratchet on nuts and bolts up to 15mm and has worked great there were some times I felt like I was going to break it and it powered right through and still works like the day I bought it. I have used the1/2" and 3/8" with an impact on the other end of the bolt/nut with no damage to them. I have used the 1/2" on as large at 36mm axle nuts and crank pully/Harmonic balancer bolts the 3/8" as large as 19 mm suspension bolts all with ease, if I do end up breaking one I will definitely be getting another full set and will definitely recommend to others. I have two had the 1/4" snap on and this 1/4" side by side and the snap on is definitely smoother and the rotation key on the back is easier to slide but the both perform very close to one another. If you cant afford the snap on price buy a set you will like them.Update:I still use this set daily, I did break the 1/4" drive because of my own stupidity (got it stuck between a rock and hard place) but before that it was still going strong like the day I bought it, I still use the 3/8 and the 1/2" ratchets almost daily, even after they have dropped and been run over.a time or to (lost them off the tail gate one night and had to go back and find them), I definitely 100% recommend them, I have hit them with a 5 lb mini sledge to break bolts loose I have put a 2 foot cheater on them to break bolts loose and have done many more motor and trans swaps with them, if you need a ratchet the get into so weird positions especially smaller stuff the 1/4" is your best friend, the swivel head has made some jobs that I have fought in the past and been extremely frustrated with a breeze. I will be getting another set to replace the 1/4" and will be giving the others away to others that work along side me. Definitely been a great set thank you.

Used the 1/4 inch ratchet to replace injectors on my Nissan. Work well in tight quarters. Would have taken longer if I used a fixed head ratchet. Haven't used the 3/8 or 1/2 yet but I suspect they're just as good. Would highly recommend.

Sturdy set worth the money in my opinion better then snap on tools

So far, so good. I had a 72 tooth flex head ratchet break on me. I ordered this ratchet to replace it. In the meantime, I had to use a basic Craftsman ratchet (probably 72 tooth). This Olsa ratchet is very smooth and the ratchet action is crisp and sure. No comparison to the old Craftsman ratchet and better than my previous flex head. This Olsa is a pleasure to use. I’ll probably order more tools from this company. Great value for the money!Also, if you take the rear cover off to oil the mechanism, the pin on the inside of the rear cover goes at the bottom of the heart shaped spring when you’re putting it back together in case you didn’t know.

Great quality and versatility, you will not be disappointed with these, held up to some pretty harsh 'use' already.

Im an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer and this tool is a must have in my toolbox. It’s very useful to get into those hard to reach spots. It’s very durable and sturdy. Easy to use.Unfortunately I only took a picture of one of them but they’re all really great.

I bought the 3/8 version. Out of the box, this ratchet looks great. Chrome finish is nice, the metal is smooth and consistent, no weird dents or irregularities you'd find on cheap Chinese tools. These are made in Taiwan. 3/8 version measures 9" long. Swivel head is tight, but not overly tight.I would rate this 4.5 stars if I could because my only complaint is an easy fix. Out of the box, the ratchet action is a little rough. Upon taking it apart, it has a very miniscule amount of oil in it, like I mean it's almost dry. After lubricating and reassembling it, it now feels nice and smooth.

J’étais debout à sautiller sur une barre de ralonge pour venir à bout de désaisir des boulons de spacer de roues pour enlever des disque de frein ce matin, ça passe le test de solidité pour moi, en plus d’être tellement maniable, surtout avec les embouts swivel Universal joint set! Le comble est de pouvoir finir de dévisser comme un tournevis à cliquet, avec une prise pour forcer un peu avec l’autre main grâce à l’ergonomie plate avant la douille pour les quelques derniers filets plus rouillés: Un gros must!!! 🤩Avec ça et le swivel universel joint set, des rallonges de rachet: Pourquoi faire? 🤷‍♂️😆Super achat, je recommande fortement 👍

Bought the raychet because 23.00 why not? Mac similar ratchets 60.00+ has a great number of teeth and has the perfect weight to it. Not cheap feeling. Flex head is a little tight but im sure will wear in!
