Our first Radio interview with the old version of the tool.

I love this tool. Gets into places where i can’t use a long pipe for leverage. I use this tool on cars and in plumbing except in plumbing i have to hold the body of the part before applying force.
This tool seems to have solved the strength problems of do it yourselfers (DIY) to complete the job :
>Multiplies my strength 4X using a gear system in its head.
>Uses 1/2″ drives input and output (so I can use inexpensive Harbor Freight sockets).
>User replaceable drive piece designed to break, limiting the output torque to 500 ft-lbs before the tool does (at 530 ft-lbs). [If the removal requires more than 500 ft-lbs, let someone else do it.]
>Can return the car bolts to approximately the spec torque with the aid of a torque wrench.
Bad = 1.Too bad it doesn’t come in a nice case (but that would increase the price). 2.The input and multiplier outputs are not marked so i nail polished an M & arrow on one side.

Used my Ratchet Helper today for the first time. Had to change the front wheel bearing on my wife’s car. My impact gun wouldn’t touch the axle nut which is torqued to 150 ft lbs and had 9 years of corrosion besides. So I put my socket on one side of the Ratchet Helper and my ratchet on the other, slid the socket on the nut and gave it a try. Even though I knew it would work I was still totally amazed. The nut came loose effortlessly. I couldn’t be happier. They’re right, you don’t need it all the time… But when you need it.. You need it. Now I have to buy some for Christmas for my boys or else they’ll borrow mine and I’ll never see it again.
