Is this a quick release head or not?** A: no, it's a 1/4" hex bit with a 1/4" square drive with detent ball. the hex end passes through the wratch. in other words you can take the whole bit out the part that looks like a quick release button is actually the bit you push it out with your thumb. I know this sounds confusing but hope it helps **Q: Tool broke does it have a warranty?** A: If it's past the time that you can return to Amazon, please send picture of tool and the information to csrhardware@apextoolgroup.com **Q: Can i use a quarter inch hex shank 3/8 adapter with this? To use 3/8 sockets as well?** A: 81127 -1/4" Drive 1/4" F x 3/8" M Adapter | GEARWRENCH **Q: hex bit or socket end m. Does it stick out out say more than 3/16 of an inch? Is it secure or can it fall out easily?** A: The 1/4” square drive protrudes about 7/16” from the face of the ratchet. It is adequately held in place with a spring system. Easily removable and the ratchet head accepts any 1/4” hex head tip. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really smooth ratchet and very good quality *by M***E on 29 June 2025* My favourite ratchet. Nice length. Head angles to desired angle and locks in place. The ratchet is really smooth. It's very nice and compact and gets to hard to reach areas with ease ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Locking head *by J***T on 25 July 2025* Well made. Compact head with multi position indexing locking and slimline long handle ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite nice arrived quite quickly to UK address. *by A***T on 18 June 2026* Just a touch shorter than a 30cm plastic ruler in length. The ratchet is the usual 72 tooth kind, with a locking ring for bit bit holding which has an included 1/4in square drive bit included, which holds in place farely well and easy to extract due to the extra length of the bit. The handle has a slimmed flattened out neck to normal handle style, which is very slim. The locking of the head position isn't the best but works ok but there are better solutions for the locking head types, which are rock solid when locked but the extra length of this is worth it for the length. Head has minor wobble from the handle side to side, so I used a slim round shim to make it no wobble. Arrived Farley quickly to UK address. A comfort handle version with better locking flex type would really make this a beauty evan more. Obviously not for heavy heavy duty but the length does help no doubt. ## Frequently Bought Together - GEARWRENCH 1/4" Drive 72 Tooth Quick Release Locking Flex Slim Head Ratchet, 12" - 81030 - GEARWRENCH 3/8" Drive 6 Pt. 5/8" x 6" Magnetic Swivel Spark Plug Socket - 80546 - Crescent 5 Piece Curved & Long Nose Locking Plier Set | CLP5SETN-08 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/112725933-gearwrench-81030-1-4-drive-72-tooth-quick-release-locking](https://www.desertcart.es/products/112725933-gearwrench-81030-1-4-drive-72-tooth-quick-release-locking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
