Pros
This model has the ratchet part built in the head. The ratcheting mechanism built in is key. Used this to take off the tensioner pulley bolt in my wife's 2005 honda civic.

The machinery of the particles in bits is a trade mark of lisle tools usa made at affordable price if you want polished bitsbuy the same product under snap on labelwill have to pay a bit more still lisle made

I with the ratcheting mechanism was tighter and more precise and the different sockets and bits will just fall out of the drive if you angle it down needs more of a retention system
