This ratchet features the Dual 80 Technology with dual pawls, buttery smooth action, and great strength. It also has the socket/extension quick release feature, which I've come to appreciate. Further, the ratchet is easy to disassemble and maintain and rebuild kits are readily available for about $20.00 as of this writing (2017). The only detriment is the high price the market has assigned to this ratchet. One can look for the occasional bargain, but the market is very efficient and the bargains don't last long. Good hunting.
