The product description says "ratchet action". Can anyone explain how that works?

When you pull a paper towel, you hear a clicking sound that keeps the roll from unwinding too easily.

Hi. The reason I put that descriptor in quotes is that I was not sure that was the right way to describe it. I'll try to explain it better here. When you tug on a towel you can hear a slight clicking sound and this assures that the roll does not just continue to unroll and give you more sheets than you want. But, if want more than one sheet, you just gently tug again. I don't mean to complicate this. I just didn't have the correct term for the action. But it works and I think it is terrific.

You put a roll of paper towels on the spindle. You pull at the end, and the roll turns. It makes a click-click-click sound as the roll spins the little cylinder on which it is riding.The important thing isn't exactly the ratchet, but that there's continual friction on the turning roll, so it doesn't advance ten feet while giving you the single sheet you were hoping for.

when you pull for a new towel the roller will click much like a recliner lever. the roller will not completely stop with each pull but will not spin like regular towel holder. we have 3 in our house. we have given these as gifts.

Yes. The "ratchet action" refers to the braking mechanism which prevents the paper roll from spinning freely when a sheet is torn from the roll. Is is not unlike a socket ratchet wrench normally associated with vehicle repair among other applications. As you pull off the roll, it makes the familiar ratcheting sound. We love it in our kitchen. Hope this helps.

There is part of the handle that turns. Just like most ratcheting screw drivers. You won't be sorry if you are looking for a heavy duty quality screw driver

The bigger ratchet has 60 teeth. The small ratchet has 45 teeth. Both of them are very precise. I am very pleased with my tool set.

Yes it does. As you work through a roll of towels, the resistance as you pull on the roll increases. I usually change rolls before the end of the roll (which increases the life of the ratchet), and use the towels that are left for other purposes. The product is still working fine, quite a few months after I bought it.

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

This is a ratchet head and it is not reversible - only tightens clockwise. Most of the torque wrenches are not designed to be used to loosen fasteners....even the fixed head wrenches.

no ratcheting. open tool by rotating handles 90 degrees. crimp by closing handles until they hit a hard stop.

keep going in the same direction with extra pressure,once you have maxed it out it will release the ratcheting to allow you to start over again.you can do this at every joint.

The ratchet itself is a 1/4 HEX drive (six side) , using standard hex screwdriver bits. I added a hex to square drive adapter (Most hardware stores, big box stores have them) so I can use a 1/4 Square drive sockets. So it doesn't come with a hex to 1/4 drive adapter, but they are easily available.....It is a nice little drive...Comes with an extension. the ratchet is a ratchet on one end, a hex socket on the other...Using the extension on the ratchet, it acts like a t-bar for the ratchet hex end.... Neat...Typical Victorinox quality....

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

The mechanism is simply a squeeze/release device. It operates with a very strong spring and is excellent! Try their different sizes.

Yes! It ratchets from a flat position, pointing straight up (zero degrees) to a vertical position (90 degrees) in increments of approx 10-15 degrees. I count 8 fixed ratchet positions between 0 and 90. The picture of the fan in the ad is at approx 80 degrees.

It reverses the bar and shoe to keep the ratchet out away from walls and such. It is well worth the money. I use mine all the time for refrigerant lines on AC units and its a great add on. It will bend any soft copper or aluminum tubing type L & M, WILL NOT WORK ON hard drawn copper tubing.

I couldn't get this tool to work properly with the ratchet so I disabled the ratchet with a zip tie, locking the ratchet lever down inside the handle. This allow me to use this tool like a standard pair of pliers and I can apply as much or as little pressure as I want.

You could void the warranty by misusing the tool, try a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar instead. If the ratchet gear system breaks it's not the tools fault and the company could deny replacement. Than it's all on you.
