Prestacycle T-Handle Ratchet

I am not a bike rider but I have some bits and the T-handle set for my everyday carry pouch. This tool has been used so many times and has performed everytime. A must for those on the move and like compact capability.

I own three of the Prestacycle mini ratchet t-handle sets. 2 are the ones with the bits in the Velcro pouch. I think that they are fantastic. I have one as an “everyday carry” item. Another on my motorcycle. And the third is in my work tool set-up. I had been trying to convince a retailer that has a primary focus of selling items for motorcycle-camping to try to carry this product. With its size and ability to handle 60Nm (or 44+ ft-lbs) of torque it makes an amazing screwdriver and secondary ratchet. I have added a second extension to 2 of my set-ups, giving it a longer reach over an average long-blade screwdriver in 1/5 of the size when disassembled!

Small enough to store in a convenient small tool package. Fits a full range of bits and converts easily into a “T” wrench with the extender.

I work in exhibit tours and this have become an awesome part of my kit.

Very compact, light weight, most tools you need to service a bike but not all. The most handy part is the T handle, the ability to use the T to add length and torque to the ratchet, and to use it as a socket extension. So much nicer than carrying my at home tools around. If this kit had a chain tool it would be 1 stop shopping but glad the pack is big enough to hold a few extra bits.

Excellent tool for the micro tool setup. I leave it in my grab bag with my most common bits and sockets. Its much lighter than any other ratchet and definitely holds up to abuse. Made for bike people, but Im a stagecraft designer and engineer, and I use this constantly for micro adjusting, assemblies and installs/ deinstallation

Ive been buying and using tools for 50 years. This Prestacycle ratchet is high quality steel with a smooth finish and a shape that feels good in the hand. I purchased one before and lost it! Was not long before I replaced it. Along with a small Crescent wrench, needle nose Vise Grip and a folding razor blade knife the Prestacycle tool makes an extremely useful tool pouch set for work.

Compact robust tools but not too small. Good weight in hand, but not so small that it awkward.

This is a fantastic ratchet that also morphs into a T-handle driver. All the features work very well and the magnets in the handles are plenty strong. The case also serves as a little bit of a work surface when unfolded. There is also a slip pocket on the inside of the case where you want to stash some emergency cash. The bits include the most used bits: Torx-25, 3-4-5-6-8mm hex which is great, BUT a Phillips #1??? Ive replaced mine with a JIS #2 so I can adjust my derailleurs and chucked the PH-1. It is also why the one star deduction.

This is an excellent bike, EDC (everyday carry), or just general home use tool, which is why I gave it 5 stars overall. However, I did give it only 4/5 stars for value for money because I have to say I think this is rather overpriced at $40 (it should literally be half that price). I also only gave it 4/5 stars for Easy to Use because its almost impossible to get the bits out of any part of this tool without using another tool (or your teeth). In the end, its still excellent. I carry it on my ebike all the time, bring it with me when I travel as an EDC tool, and also use it just around the house.
