Quality feel
Good little hand ratchet. 1/4 so its usefull for torx trim screws etc . I use it to unscrew things like torx trim screws (on a kuga) on the pollen filter using a long extension bar. Ideal and reduces the possibility of overtighting as it gives lots of feel.

Neat and useful, expensive at full price
In my limited experience with Gearwrench tools, they've been okay so far, and I have no issues with them. This gimbal wrench is no exception to that. As a compact way of getting a screwdriver or socket in a place where you can get your hand to but there's not much working room, there's not much to complain about here. There's more adjustable movement than you can usefully use, and it's a sort-of mini universal joint. Sort of. The adjustment is quite stiff, which I think is a good thing, as you don't need it flapping about or adjusting itself, and the 72-tooth reservable ratchet works as you'd expect. The 1/4" tool can often be bought for just under £11 (as I did), so if you do fancy adding it to your tool set, don't pay over the odds for it because at time of writing, it was over £25, which seems a bit spicy pricey to me. If you can get it at the usual sub-£11 price, it's a neat little thing.

Great
Combine this with stubby sockets and you'll be able to stick your hand in any crack or crevice and undo a bolt, after it's been loosened of course because it's very difficult to put torque through this with your hand only.
