DOES THIS HAVE A RACHET ACTION?

No. It locks in a partial crimp position so you can't open it until the crimp is complete, but the crimp it one action from open to closed.

No. You don't need the ratchet action for this type of PEX connection. This squeezes a tab on the sleeve; not the while sleeve like the bigger much more expensive PEX tool. That way you can do any size pipe connection with the same tool. This tool is much smaller than the big pro version. The only drawback is that the rings for this are much more expensive than the big pro version, so if you have a huge project it may be worthwhile paying the extra for the other type tool. I found this one works great for my little projects.

Yes this is a rachet tool that will not release until the clamp is properly set.

Yes, it does. Its more like a sliding lever and it works really well. I make sure that no pressure is on it when I move the lever by placing my foot on the pedal holding it open, then moving the lever. I love this garbage can, if one can love a can??? Hope this helps.

It turns like any drill to tighten the bit. I wish it came with a clutch system like other drills. Other than that, I love this drill!

It has a ratchet movement although it is very subtle. If you press down it rolls freely.

Righty tighty lefty loosy. It has a selector knob for the direction you want to turn it. Or center for no rachet.

It's just a basic air ratchet, but high torque and low noise (for an air ratchet). The variable trigger has a really nice touch. I use it a lot, but still use an impact wrench or breaker bar to break really tough fasteners. Hope that helps.

No, it's got a pretty solid ratchet to it. Nothing too hard, but it's there. Middle mouse click has a lot of resistance to it though.

No it doesn't. When it gets about an inch from the counter sink the bit will accelerate. So if you don't want a counter sink start bumping the trigger.

Yes it does, you can use one as the mechanics tools include the following: a 1/4-inch round head, full polish ratchet (85-890) and 8 SAE 1/4-inch sockets, a 1/4-inch spinner handle (86-004), a 1/4-inch bit holder (86-124), and 30 specialty bits.

yes, you have to reach the ratchet end to lower it. It has a metal tab you lift to release.

No, What looks like a ratchet is a gear adjustment for when they wear. It has a screw that loosens and then you can tap the gear to tightenthe blade contact. You then tighten the screw on the gear to hold the new setting.

No, there is no ratchet. Bits are held in place magnetically in the handle/driver. It's a very nice set for the price! I've used it several times, and I like the pushbutton on the front of the case....push, then the top may be manually lifted very easily......but it stays locked in position when closed. I recommend it!

No problem at all. Just push the silver button in and you can move the ratchet up and down.

No, But it leaves you with one hand free. Instead of holding inflater on valve stem and pulling trigger.

NO, it does not. You can put it in reverse and it will ratchet properly in 'reverse', but it will not sense torque and click for left-handed (reverse) threads without taking the unit apart and reversing the head. See my review.

Mt Tekton wrench was broken when it arrived, but my other ratcheting "clicker" - a Craftsman - does both RH and LH thread. The Tekton should work the same.
