Prestacycle PrestaRatchet - 2-in-1 Multi-Tool, 1/4 Hex Bit Ratchet with w/Prestalever Tire Remover Handle (CXMagazine Orange) (12 CRV Hex Bits in 2Bit Holders)

Lightweight & small with a variety of bit options
Exactly what I was looking for - a small ratchet that would fit in tight spaces that had a variety of hex bit options (using for wheelchair repairs). The ratchet itself is really light but feels sturdy enough to last, and the toggle to go between "tighten" and "loosen" is easy to flip.I am taking off one star, though, for a couple of issues with the included bits. First, I find that some of the bits are hard to remove from the ratchet , they slide in just a bit too far when used and require a lot of effort (pulling/twisting) to get back out. The second issue is hopefully just a sorting error - my bit set has a duplicate Torx 20 bit rather than the 2 mm hex bit (so my kit bag still needs a spare set of hex keys just in case...)

Toughest 1/4” ratchet
I work on equipment on a daily basis and found these are the best ratchet for tight spaces. The handle makes it easy to keep ahold of and great control. Granted every job has a perfect tool but for the most part these fit the criteria the best! High marks for quality, toughness and ease of use.

Amazing quality, I want to give it 10 stars!
I have both the Topeak Ratchet Rocket and a Great Neck mini ratchet. This one puts both to shame. It weighs less than both (29.0 g), has a great smooth finish and a superb mechanism (identical to the Great Neck ratchet, but with a cleaner, sharper finish and thus smoother action), and excellent design. The slight angling of the head makes it great for those tight spots. Torque rating (60 Nm) is much more than I can reasonably apply by hand, which is ideal. Good placement of direction switch on head; won't get flipped by accident and it's easy (but not too easy) to toggle. Bit retaining mechanism is great. The ratchet actually has 52 teeth, which is more than enough for most situations, but few enough that durability should be a matter of many years, even if you're a fidgeter.I personally pulled off the handle on mine (Difficult, but not impossible to do by hand) to slim my ratchet down and drilled a lanyard hole in the end. It now weighs a mere 20.0 grams. Better yet, it fits most of my Leatherman bits perfectly (just make sure you line up the corners with the bit retaining spring). I plan on buying a bunch more for every toolbox I have.If there was a premium stainless or otherwise corrosion resistant version I'd gladly pay through the nose for it. I'm out in the field a lot where I'm using it for minor machinery repairs at work and also when I go mountain biking, so it's part of my EDC. The ratchet mechanism looks to be made of chrome vanadium steel (extremely wear resistant, but prone to rusting) with a black oxide coating (to prevent said rusting), and the handle is what looks like well-polished 300 series stainless steel, so we'll see how it goes.I wouldn't buy any other ratchet unless I needed it for something bigger (Don't try to take off a car wheel with this; you need 80 Nm torque at absolute minimum).

Excellent for Bikes
I used this on multiple hex bolts on my bike. It is good quality, and is strong.

Ratchet is fantastic, the bits leave a bit to be desired
I had originally seen this in a dropper lever install video, where it was being used around the seat post. I looked it up and was intrigued as it seemed like it would be perfect for a few tight spaces for use on a bike, and at the price it seemed like a fantastic value.I am not here to say it is not, because the ratchet is great, I have already used it on my seat, brake calipers, brake levers, and dropper lever. I did get a few "bad bits" however. The 3mm allen (which is not used much on my bike) and the 25 Torx (which is, SRAM) are just a bit off, and I fear using either would strip the bolts easier so I will have to find others to put into the toolkit.Still an great little tool that you may not absolutely need, but it is great to have around. I just had to take one star off for a couple of the bits that I use on my bike not being useful at all.

Highly recommend
Its a match. I used parts from this to repair a bluepoint(Snap-on) ratchet.

Great little tool
Great little tool. The bit selection is great. Actually more variety than sets from Park and Pedro tools. The ratchet on the tool is high quality, the same in fact as the Topeak ratchet tool (from what I can tell). I needed a 2mm for the lock on grips from ODI that I have (surprisingly the small bits are less common in popular bit sets). I just used this tool to address a creaking headset/stem yesterday, came in handy (still needed the torque wrench for the final tightening). For the price, this is an awesome little tool. It is small enough to take on rides as multi tool if you wanted (I have a dedicated multi tool for rides, so this is a shop tool for me). Complimented with a proper torque wrench, and regular L Allen keys, this is a handy little ratchet tool system. The real test will be durability and longevity on the ratchet mechanism. Glad the made the decision to purchase this tool. Will see myself using it regularly.
