I fell for it too... I have those exact same ratchets! O'Reilly gets me all the time with their product placements right there at the check-out counter. I don't regret it, though, they are decent tools and very inexpensive.

"The dangers of waiting in line at the auto parts store" So true. Love it!!!

hahaha i did the exact same.thing.. dude at register was helping someone outside so i was fiddling w those and some cool carabiners and by the time he got back to ring me up, i had picked out 2 colors i wanted for the bit ratchets, and had to snag the black 1/4" dr ratchet

The titan swivels are some of my favorites! I'm pretty sure they make some with aluminum handles (same shape and design) in other colors if weight was an issue for small tool kits.

Those are known as 'POP' (Point Of Purchase) displays, used to goose impulse sales.

I usually end up getting some shop towels. Can never have too many.

The good old impulse buy end caps. Very cool little ratchets! Thanks for sharing!

Great video - I bought one of these in line at O’Reilly and love it! In many situations it has replaced my mini snap on ratchet.👍👍👍

I have both of the swivel heads. The ratchet lives with a 3/16 socket for adjusting dishwasher feet. Works great. The bit driver comes with 2 stubby Phillips bits that are a difficult length to find online.

another cool video, I've had a the round head 1/4 for almost a year now and its very handy especially for accessing hose clamps in tight spots.

I have the chrome micro ratchet. It comes in quite handy in certain situations. No complaints whatsoever. I mostly own Carlyle ratchets. A couple years ago they had various ratchets on sale. Got their longest 1/2" ratchet for $40!! I really like their locking flex head ratchets

I have the two 1/4 square drive titan ratchets. They come in handy very often in a professional automotive repair setting. Great for dash work, or tight engine bays on euro stuff.

I have the two swivel heads. Don't use them often, but when I do very handy as just the right size.

I have all three of those (just two in different colors)... they are quite handy and work well in certain circumstances ... Titan makes some pretty good tools and at good prices too !!!

Used mine for a blend door actuator it was perfect for that job glad I had it

nice review. clean and well spoken .i love small sockets you can do any assembly job with 1/4 or 3/8 then just torque down with 1/2 inch .

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I think the only Titan tool I have is the flexible Extension's in 1_4" and 3/8" drives. They work as advertised!!!!

I have a 1/4" swivel ratchetHarbor Freight) I keep in my small, travel tool bag. I try to keep the bag light and small so it's easy to throw into car and the ratchet has been very useful!

These items are the chocolate bars and candy of a grocery store. I have that exact swivel head black ratchet. Just used it yesterday. Love it.

I Went to O'Reilly Auto Parts Just To Get These Once. Nice Little Ratchet and Driver. I Also Like Their Selection of OEM tools Also. Especially the 13 in 1 Screwdriver 🪛 !

Got a 1/4" set from Gearwrench at HD, had 2 locking flex head ratchets, sockets, bits with case for $65. I love the ratchets, have female drive ends with adapters. One is 12" long, crazy long for a 1/4", and the other is 5". Love the set.

Good video! I have the titan bit driver(11207)...I find it to be very flexible as I can add an extension for increased reach using bits & can also do same adding an adaptor to the extension so I can use sockets...& yes, you are right, they will try to get ya right up to the cash register...

I have more than several micros. But my go to is an older basic craftsman 1/4 drive ratchet. Just seems to fit me perfectly or I'm just familiar with it. I have other basic ones but the craftsman is the one.

I got one! Mine is the 1/4" socket w/swivel head. I like mine because my hand is having a little issue and this helps me work. They also come in many colors, mines red. It was on sale at Amazon, yes Amazon has it. I want the bit driver. Thanks.

I've had the little micro 1/4 socket drive and 1/4 hex bit ratchets for a long time. I use then VERY VERY often. Pulled the head off of a Husqvarna 51 tonight with it. Zero complaints. As short as the handle is, I doubt you will break it. I oiled the ratchet pawl and they are nice and smooth.

I got the swivel head ratchet and bit driver in titanium. Paid a bit more, a little over $20 a piece, but they sure are pretty lol. Titan is a decent budget tool brand. I e got a few things from them and they’ve done well by me so far.

@$16 its one of those deals you can sacrifice with the grinder when you need to make a homemade tool to get you through the job in front of you! The quality on some of these cheaper brands is absolutely amazing and the new packaging is awesome!

I have the quarter inch rotohead like the black one that you have there it's a handy little tool it's actually really, really small and it works great I've never had a problem with mine I've had it a few years

I have them & love how small & how they get in tuff space

Those impulse buys always get me, lol.. Pretty smart placement right in the line at the cash

Titan makes outstanding ratchets as well as other tools, I sold their tools to mechanic for years and their quality is first class and their prices are affordable for everyone.

I have a number of small Titan ratchets and bit drivers as well. I won't say they are anything special, but for the price they seem perfectly adequate. I use them for light duty work, working mostly on electronics projects, and they are fine.

I have the Titan Micro Flex Bit Driver (11212) and love it for my edc. It is basically the micro ratchet you have, in the video, but instead it is made for bits and has with a swivel arm. The swivel arm is slightly different than the swivel heads in the video, in that the swivel point is right below the entire head, not part of it.

I got impulsed into one of those swivel 1/4 guys, I gotta say when doing dash / interior work its handy as hell.

Fits great between the wheel and inner fender to turn the Philips head screw that came loose.

Doc - thanks so much for this video! Titan makes an alumninum version of this swivel bit driver that weighs less than 2 oz. Perfect of my EDC kit paired with the Steinwhale Stubby bit extender/bit kit.

I just checked, amzn was $22 delivered plus tax for the 11318, o'Reilly has it in sick at my local store $16 + tax. Pays to shop Amazon's price these days, they're getting pretty bold on price hikes

Hmm thx interesting now I’ll have to look a little closer I’ve been needing a tool like this 👍🏼👍🏼😎

I have a micro bit set and have actually used it more than I thought I would. I wondering if that swivel ball head would be worth adding to the set. I like that you can move it into any angle you could possibly ever need. Thanks for another great video brother. Stay strong brothers. Edit to add. I couldn't help myself, went to Amazon. I just ordered a steel rotating head bit drive. Kept looking and they offer a anodized aluminum version in orange, red, blue or black. With orange being my favorite I also ordered both a swivel head socket and a bit driver in orange. Of course not going to have the same strength as the steel version but they just look so cool. Thanks again brother.

Great video.

Great video as always 👍

I might have to pick up one of those pivoting ratchets sometime

That smaller ratchet saved me from taking a whole intake manifold out of a Lexus to change the spark plugs

i have a titan 1/2 16 inch ratchet and man that ratchet has taken abuse i am talking about cheater pipes 4 feet long, used it as a hammer, left it in the truck for months during winter in canada, worked in the salty snow, worked in the sand. after 6 or 7 years i dont remember exacly something broke inside i dont remember what but princess auto (canada's harbor freight) gave me a replacement. i also bought their 3/8 swivel head about 3 years ago still serves me well love it. great tools for the price

I have the Wera in 3/8"s. I am honestly underwhelmed. I have had the head unlock on me too.

I came very close to buying the long handled 3/8 drive sealed head ratchet. The last one is almost identical to Sunex.

I bought the 60 tooth Titan pearhead. I like it so much that I bought a second one for the home shop.

I got 2 of the Micro Ratchets and the screw’s on the face plate kept backing out until I lost one. Then I glued them in.

You can adjust the swivel on them I given mine hell and tighten it back up

The only thing I wish it had was the ability to lock in to the different angles instead of just freely swiveling. Would be a perfect edc option to go quickly from a locked inline screwdriver into a 90 degree ratchet with more torque. Basically just like the wera one you have there, but micro sized.

Taiwanese here. I even don't know we made so much Ratchets for budget choice.

I have 3 of the 11204 in case they quit making them lol…. Great tool for 14$

The orieghly auto tools are awesome no fuss guarantee they honor unlike other leading brands

I cut my micro roto head down just past the knurling, made a finger ratchet.

I use the micro ratchet all the time not a bad tool for 10$. mine accepts 1/4 bits

Haha. I bought the same black one waiting in line. Its a trap.

👍👍

Looks like yer 1/4 inch is 3/8!

They saw you coming didn't they. Got ya to spend more money.lol

Taiwan manufacturing is actually really good, they are up there with some of the better countries to manufacture, Taiwan is a democratic nation (or province of china). They manufacture some of the most advanced semiconductor in the world.

I've never heard anyone complain about my thick head

The minimal price of these tools has already saved me hundreds of dollars to fix my garage door opener.

I am going to invent blinkers for standing inline. They will help you spend less and make me more money. Available in all standard sizes, US and Euro sizes. Limited edition all recycled plastic specially signed version for the hardcore tool inline superstore customer. They also help you lose weight.

Titan is really bad about their warranties.

it's like you're talking with a running faucet going on behind you

Taiwan is better than west Taiwan 😁👍. For the longest time Taiwan produce high quality tool for US brand and market

you have the most mouth noises of any person on KZfaq

When it comes to tools.... my impulse control is non-existent and my lizard brain takes over. Monkey see, monkey gotta have.
