VIM HBR8 1/4" & 5/16" Hex Micro Bit Ratchet with 1/4" Square Drive Reversible

This is a pretty versatile tool. Comes with a 1/4 inch adapter for sockets for the 5/16 side. The 1/4 side will take any of the standard 1/4 bits. So far it has been pretty durable. I wise this to fit into some tight spaces inside big generator units. The size is perfect to toss in your pocket or a pouch without it taking up much room. I enjoy the implementation of reverse switches and what I call thumb spinners on both ends. It’s an easy tool to use for many applications. If you need a tool to reach some hard spots, or need a really low profile 1/4 ratchet I would definitely recommend this for you. I don’t think you will be disappointed. The pictures I included are for size references.

love it

I have HBR5 and this. I use it for work daily, low profile and longer shaft for more torque.

Great tool and very fast shipping.

I purchased this after getting and loving the shorter version. Great low profile ratchet and bit driver for getting to fasteners without taking off additional parts. Saves a lot of time and aggravation. Very small head requires very little clearance. This longer version allows greater torque and access. Next I need to get the VIM half cut bits, but I haven't justified the price yet.

The extra length is the stand out feature of this wrench. I use these every day at work, and this longer version provides so much more leverage than my shorter Dog-bone wrenches.I am extremely pleased. It has enough teeth on it so that it can be swung in small quarters and still rotate a screw. I am removing and installing screws all day at work in tight spots.If you’re a fan of these wrenches definitely get this longer one, you’ll be glad you did. I highly, highly recommend it.

Some work spaces are tight like up in a dash and that was the main purpose for this purchase. I like what this will allow me to reach without having to disassemble more components than necessary. I don't expect this to have the same gear strength as a 1/4" ratchet as shown. Most dash type components aren't high torqued fasteners so this is fine. The ability to use screwdriver bits in equally tight locations is nice. The knurled top makes starting fasteners easy too. Being able to use all the various bit options makes this a very versatile tool to have.This tool is nicely finished. The beam edge would be a bit more comfortable if rounded a bit more. Still reasonably comfortable for doing a handful of fasteners and so on. Could be my wimpy computer nerd hands though. The offset may or may not become an issue for some spaces.Good tool! One of the reviewers mentioned buy 2. May also consider the longer HBR8 and/or shorter HBR3.

Handy tool for the road on my motorcycle. It is very thin, and works great in tight places. A bit longer than other types in this genre. They also make a shorter one.
