Is this the version with the ratchet feature? According to Ridgid, version 377 should not. But several amazon commenters mention here theirs has it...

Hi , i would describe it more as a torque setting , you keep winding when doing the flare, once the flare is done the torque setting breaks free preventing you from over doing the flare , then you just back it off and remove the pipe , hope it helps , Larry

I was one of the people who wrote it has a ratchet feature. To make certain we are defining it the same once the flare is successfully achieved the tool basically spins free in the tightening direction; meaning it ratchets without further deformation.

The unit I have definitely has the ratchet feature.However....When flareing heavy wall stainless tubing the ratchet action releases just as the flare begins to form. This requires an 18 inch adjustable wrench to complete..

The tool does not have a ratchet. It has a feature to make consistent flares. The handle trips and disconnects when the flare is formed. You then turn it ccw to remove the flare. Hope this helps.

I don't know that I'd call it a ratchet, but there are spring-loaded pins that disengage when you've tightened the spreader (or whatever you'd like to call the cone that is actually doing the flaring)

I'm not sure what is going on, but when I thought I was receiving a direct replacement for the "with button" model I bought last year, I received the cheaper "no button" model. The price was similar, and both models show up on Schumaker's website. I assumed I had not looked closely at the model numbers when I ordered. Nevertheless, they are not comparable.

Yes the current friction mounts that are sold now do fit the 3790 series including the 3790T. I have that Garmin unit and bought the friction mount since I prefer it to the window mount... It works great. I love it:) (I bought mine form Beach Camera on Amazon.com for about $24. I hope this helps...

This is a very nice little ratchet. The ability to angle the handle is also nice. My ratchet does not require high force to activate the ratchet mechanism. I recommend that you return the tool & request a replacement. Cheers Dave

No, you have to buy it seprate. Or you will see the same hat that cost more, that's because it has a rat No , you have to look closley at the price. There are three different prices for that hat. The 70 dollar one does not have the ratchet, the 100 dollar one does

The one I bought from tisinc99 was. I actually sent a email to two vendors asking that question. Since they all use the same description that what I would do. One of the vendors was version one and tisinc99 was version two.

Yes, it ratchets in one direction. So YES, you can simply flip it to tighten vs. loosen. Great wrenches!

Same problems here fat boy tools sold refurbished ones as new. As I was informed by makkita when I sent it out for repair. Got it back and same day it broke. Switched to ridgid no problems.

the ratchet system will only allow for three speed automatics. unless the unit is designed for a 4 speed don't assume it will work. mine came with all hardware and parts to complete the job.

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.

I never rode with the old version, but have used this new hub on 2 different folders, both 20" bikes. One has a 44 tooth chain wheel, the other a 52 tooth chain wheel. I prefer the 44 tooth chain wheel but the 52 is faster and would be better if there were no hills. It shifts at about 7-8 mph with a 20" wheel, regardless of chain wheel or cog. Some adjust the spring tension to shift at a higher speed, but I ride it as it came and it works well for me.

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.

I really don't know as I use it for the 1/2 drive sockets, there is no way to ratchet down the torque as with a drill/driver.

Nope - it is ratcheting when you rotate backwards, but the wheel wouldn't rotate backward. Only forward ride.

It has happened, the remedy for me is to twist the blade in the unfinished cut. Sometime I don,t open the blade completely and it will not ratchet for me. This is a tool that does not work properly unless you coax it. I personally would not buy from the maker in the future. Great idea, poor design (my opinion)

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

It isn't a ratchet function, it is geared, so basically you can go by degree if you like (though there is no way to measure such a small increment accurately). In practice, you just turn the wheel a little at a time. I go by 1/4 turns, but my son goes by 1/16-1/8 turns to nudge a little farther. My 1/4 turns with my legs at ~140 degrees is probably pushing them out another 1 degree or so.
