I picked up the Klein Tools 65200 set around this time last year to add to my EDC belt pouch and it has come in super handy. It's not nearly as small as this one, but the finger ring helps a lot in tighter spaces. The included bits can fit into seriously tight spaces, and adding a standard quick-change bit holder transforms it into my go-to screwdriver around the house 👍
I think I've commented before on the leatherman ratchet that I'm not a fan of attatching stuff to the leatherman just because. Complicates a small tool without actually saving space. But this is a decent improvement. Usable without the leatherman, but it's there if you need more leverage.
Yes, exactly. The Leatherman ratchet works like an extension. This new ratchet is just a short normal ratchet attached to a multi tool. To get to many screws, your would need an additional bit holder / extension. What is the purpose of the connection to a Leatherman? Where is the advantage?
Victorinox SwissTool Ratchet Wrench is about as small as you can go for close quarters wrenching. It takes a few orders of the extra short hex bits to cobble together a set of bits for those screws that are almost impossible to have access to.
Nice video. Thank you. Quick FYI, all it's going to take is some uninformed TSA agent to measure your tool in a partially opened configuration that is over 7" to lose your tool. I've lost 2 full size bladeless tools so far while travelling for business. Had to rework my tool kit to use smaller options. Hope it doesn't happen to anyone else, but that's my experience. Cheers!
If travelling my tools get shipped ahead of me. I won't need them on the aircraft. Alternate option, I've bought tools then shipped them back. Compared to the cost of flying etc the money isn't even pocket change. Poor people don't fly for business.
....got one.... and an excellent addition to my modified (Bit exchanger & pocket clip) Knifeless REBAR. I also got some SOG Powerpint 3D printed blade opening tabs from the same company (allows one handed opening).
A couple months ago a guy I was working with bolting together a steel frame building, had a socket head that snapped off the handle, he carried in his pocket. He could use it to tighten nuts in difficult places.
I assebled few cabinets using LM Skeletool's bit driver placing handle on 90°. That way you can apply lot of force on bits, I think much more than tiny rachet.
Doc, you constantly cost me money! I can only attribute my subscription and eagerness to see the next tool as a character flaw. And while flawed, at least I’m well equipped.
I have one. It just arrived a couple days ago. It’s cuter than a little ol’ speckled pup. I haven’t had occasion to use it yet but I know it’ll come in handy.
I had ordered: P.I.T. Impact Rated Hex Socket Driver. it's a nice 711L stand in until you can get your hands on a 711L ratchet. The P.I.T. comes with a fixed box wrench on the ratchet handle. My plan was to saw that off and mill the handle down to the Leatherman propitiatory flat 1/4" hex driver size.
Man that's gonna be more convenient for me as a hand held instead of my Leatherman Signal. Great for valve adjustment that a normal ratchet is too long!
Have you seen the Topeak TT2524 Ratchet Rocket Lite DX Tool? It's designed for cyclist. I removed the specialized plastic bike tool and managed to fit a Knipex 87 01 125 in it. Both available from Amazon.
I think, you may also like those micro ratchets (if you don't have them yet): 1. VIM Tools HBR3 - same as 711, but instead of Leatherman adapter on the second end has a fixed wrench which can take a lot of force applied 2. Toptul CHEV0811 with flexible head + proprietary extender FTDF0810
@@diezelle57 For 1.5 years of usage, I haven't found any impossible tasks for VIM (from reasonable tasks, of course). Maybe, the ratchet not that strong, as Wera, but the wrench on the oposite end can take more torque than bits can take, and its really tiny. Personally I wouldn't change it for Wera (unles I have them both).
@@diezelle57 Unfortunately, in my country I have access to not all the trademarks (at least for a reasonable price). I bought Toptul, cause we don't have Facom sellers, and I haven't found any alternatives for the VIM yet.
@@diezelle57 I have the VIM HBR3 micro ratchet and it's awesome, I have not seen it's equal. The Wera Zyklop is not equivalent, that is a square drive ratchet not a 1/4" hex socket like the VIM (and like this 711 tool). I find the 1/4" much more useful and versatile because it uses the same standard driver bits as all my drill and screwdriver bits, I don't even own any square sockets because I've never had a use for them. 1/4" bits are also much more compact. I keep a spare VIM micro ratchet in case I ever lose or break mine, and I'm thinking about buying 5 more in case they ever stop making it..
Would you happen to have a video where you take the blade out and replace with the spacer or another tool? I'm having the same problem as I fly a lot and really want to take my Leatherman with me but can't.
This is manufactured for 7llL by HI-FIVE. They make countless variants of their bit ratchet marked " Reverse gear " on the thumb wheel. This is the same as the GM power torque or TOPTUL, but the handle is cut off and ground to fit a leatherman before it is chromed. The standard version of this is far better in my opinion, because you get a drive in the end of the handle and because having a bit ratchet / driver that is seperate from my multitool is better.
Hey guys, FYI I'm working with the makers of Titan swivel ratchet to try to make an even smaller one (like the 711L) but with a swivel head and male 1/4 hex as a handle, so you can plug it into a gerber centerdrive or use a screwdriver handle with it! Stay tuned...
There were these swiss+tech multitool pliers floating around awhile back with a single diode flashlight built in. I work with arduino and electrical components a lot, and I've been struggling to find a more heavy duty version of this tool. I'm not well acquainted with the everyday carry scene. So I figure I'd drop a line and as y'all if you know where to find something similar.
@@lastbesttool Where did you get the "duckland camo" pouch? Reminds me of an old duck hunting vest I have. I definitely want a pouch like that, in that camo pattern
So if you use the Leatherman bits, extension,ECT.. with your S.O.G. you put them into the head of the tool. Like you do with a 4mm bit in-between the pliers.
There's a bit ratchet at O'Reilly's that has a ratchet head that looks identical to that. It's not for the Leatherman, but I have found it to be an incredible tool. I use it to work on airplanes, some panel screws are in ridiculously tight spots and this is the best, and lowest profile bit ratchet I've ever used. Even compared to the more expensive options. My harbor freight hasn't gotten the new icon one, so I haven't tried that one yet.
I have one in my airplane tool bag as well! I love that it has a bit holder on the handle end as well. You can stick an extension in there for a little extra reach and leverage. I found it on one of the gondolas at the front of Oreilly. Search Oreilly for Powertorque GM4315. $18.99 with a nice little keychain case and a bit assortment.
Yes it's Made by HI-FIVE who makes endless versions of their bit ratchets ( marked " Reverse gear " ), they literally just cut the handle off and ground it to shape before the chrome finish. Identical tool in every other way. I carry the GM power torque version from orileys with my leatherman bond at work. I don't like having bit drivers on my multitool , I just need this with a 1/4 and #2 bit stored in it. If I need other bits I go to the tool bag in my locker.
Dammmm! Been watching Amazon for these to come back into stock. Sept. 21, 2022 they were in stock for like couple hours as far as I know, maybe less time. I luckily got 2 ordered. Phewww, these are very hard to get as they don't stay in stock for long.
The Wave bit socket adapter is not made to withstand much torque. You gonna break it unless you use the ratchet very lightly which defeats its purpose...
@@carpediem5232 no problem, IP is expensive in the tool world so buying off the shelf what is not your core strength is, for most tool company, the right way. that is as long as you select quality stuff, like Craftsman did with their Knipex Cobras and Vessel japanese ball screwdrivers rebrands. 😋
Yes , HI-FIVE is the manufacturer. The topeak has the variant of their mechanism that allows an included extension to pass through for a T handle function, but everything else is the same.
Why not just using a dedicated minimalistic ratchet on its own? I am pretty sure that my Victorinox Ratchet is lighter and easier to pack than this hybrid that is neither fish nor... Normal ratchets including mine and this one work best with a bit holder extension because if the 90degree angle. The one that Leatherman offers doesn't need one on most cases as it works like a ratchet screwdriver.
*just checked amazon for this (09--08-2022)...currently unavailable so they must have sold out the moment they were released...still added to the wishlist*
Do you think I could pair this with a standard bit driver or even a ratcheting driver? I'm thinking of the Wera Kraftform Kompact or Wera 80 RA and 816 RA. For some time now, I've been looking for a ratchet on a 1/4" hex that I can use with a standard bit driver handle, and the product in this video is as close as I've come across. Thanks.
Had one for years - nothing to do with Leatherman. Came in a tough plastic box with a wide range of hex keys, Torcx keys, flat scewdrive bits, star bits. In my pack with DeWalt bits and no-name bits
Sounds like the Bostitch ratcheting 90 degree screwdriver kit, in a yellow and plack plastic case with belt clip. Got mine at Walmart a few years ago (pre-pandemic) for cheap. A great little kit, but they might not stock it any more....? Bostitch is owned by Stanley.
The sog tool when the multi tool is closed the bit goes in to the end of the tool the side that swivels, it does not go in the bottom of the pliers handle
Seems kinda pointless to me. That 711L ratchet isn't much smaller than the Wera micro bit ratchet, and given that you need to carry around the ratchet and a bit set, why not just have a dedicated Wera set? The only advantage of being able to attach the whole thing to a Leatherman would seem to be that you can then use the Leatherman as a very large and bulky handle extension. As far as I'm concerned, the whole purpose of a multi-tool is not to have to carry around a whole load of separate attachments. That tri-lobe bit driver does look useful, though - looking forward to the review of that!
I have one of these works better with 1/4 bits,they don't fall out an stay in securly,securely, bits work well too but are kinda loose an fall out unless press into what your working on other than that,a grest little edition to the surge or wave or charge even if it has the bit exchanger.
Because everybody watches this video and immediately goes to Amazon to buy one. September 21st in the morning they were available for a very short time.
You really say nonsense: - you will be able to say that the 711L can be used at low torque (Nm = ???) when you have tested it at high torque on the Leatherman bit driver, - you know that the version sold on Amazon does not retain Leatherman bits under vertical force, only the "diegel" version of the 711L does.
The "nonsense" is not mine. 711L shares the information about low-torque use only and that other drivers may have methods to indicate over-torque prior to ratchet failure. Thanks for watching.
I've thought about this item a lot..in the end I realized it makes zero sense. I'll elaborate...the more I add to a multitool...the less sense the multitool makes in general. I think dedicated tools have an important place...and more often than not I find myself carrying dedicated tools when I have a larger kit...and multitools with no loose parts...when I want to go with less.
You should think better or much longer... The Ratchet Driver, the Bit Kit, the Extender, any sense? Do Victorinox wrench/ratchet sets make any sense? How do you expect a multi-tool to handle all sorts of screws etc. ? The smart thing about accessories is to make them transportable by a properly designed multi-tool sheath or pouch.
Not a copy, just a different version of the same tool from the same Manufacture HI-FIVE who also made this one here. If it says " REVERSE GEAR " on the thumb wheel they made it, theres too many variants for me to count and I find new brandings/ variants all the time. Sure the most expensive versions of the sets include sockets, but they're still overpriced. Hell MAC only offers the ratchet by itself.
Just an FYI that Wera is manufactured in Taiwan by HI-FIVE who manufactured this and endless other variants. The thumb wheel is different but the rest of the mechanism is identical in function tooth count and quality.
I’m content with my 1/4” SnapOn that’s no bigger than my index finger. I don’t see any advantage to collecting yet another “thing” that needs to be attached to some other thing. I already carry tools, knives, guns, magazines…this would just end up in a drawer.
Thanks for staying on this. I found the bit grabber on the end silver SOG but nothing on the black one. However, the mini ratchet does not hold well in the SOG. In fact, it doesn't hold certain bits at all. I'll include it in an upcoming video to show what I ran into.
That's why you get the standard version that's available as a GM power torque from orileys auto parts. The problem with this is just that your multitool becomes a cheater bar to overtorque the tool. The regular version is what you want, they're as strong as you will ever need and you're not going to break it. These are actually a high quality tool, the manufacturer HI-FIVE makes endless variants of their bit ratchets and you'll find truck brands like MAC selling them ( overpriced through them though).
People have just too much money that are struggling to find things to spend on. I need an edc welder because i dont know what if i need to weld my glasses back together
I appreciate your videos. I had a thought that you should consider renaming your channel "Next Best Tool". Another great name might be "The OCD Tool Buyer Channel". Just Sayin'
How in the hell is this EDC? Anything requiring a ratchet is going to break that thing especially if you put that extension on it! I am seriously growing tired of these YT jockeys calling every toy they buy an EDC item. Just stop already!

The 711L tool is an interesting accessory for the Leatherman, which makes you wonder why Leatherman didn't come up with the idea themselves.
I think it's more the case that 711 had the ratchet already and just shaved the handle down.
I bought one of those sometime last year. I thought it was really nice as well. I haven't really used it as I usually forget I have it.

I'm not sure what advantage that has over one that doesn't fit in the Leatherman bit holder?
It seems to have lots of disadvantages!
It's able to be small for low torque applications, or use the leatherman for a full size handle when you need more leverage.

I think dedicated tools have an important place...and more often than not I find myself carrying dedicated tools when I have a larger kit...and multitools with no loose parts...when I want to go with less.
You should think better or much longer... The Ratchet Driver, the Bit Kit, the Extender, any sense? Do Victorinox wrench/ratchet sets make any sense? How do you expect a multi-tool to handle all sorts of screws etc. ?
The smart thing about accessories is to make them transportable by a properly designed multi-tool sheath or pouch.
Harbor freight, copy of the facon. mini bit ratchet is great.
Not a copy, just a different version of the same tool from the same Manufacture HI-FIVE who also made this one here.
If it says " REVERSE GEAR " on the thumb wheel they made it, theres too many variants for me to count and I find new brandings/ variants all the time.
Sure the most expensive versions of the sets include sockets, but they're still overpriced.
Hell MAC only offers the ratchet by itself.
I like it! Prefer my WERA
Just an FYI that Wera is manufactured in Taiwan by HI-FIVE who manufactured this and endless other variants.
The thumb wheel is different but the rest of the mechanism is identical in function tooth count and quality.
I have a Proto mini ratchet smaller design than that Snap On, maybe just as pricey lol
They seem to be very bike related products.
I’m content with my 1/4” SnapOn that’s no bigger than my index finger. I don’t see any advantage to collecting yet another “thing” that needs to be attached to some other thing. I already carry tools, knives, guns, magazines…this would just end up in a drawer.
You not knowing your sog has a bit driver at the end when it is in closed position upset me. Please confirm you have found it.
Thanks for staying on this. I found the bit grabber on the end silver SOG but nothing on the black one. However, the mini ratchet does not hold well in the SOG. In fact, it doesn't hold certain bits at all. I'll include it in an upcoming video to show what I ran into.
@@lastbesttool 😂❤️ subbed so I don't miss it
6/10th of an ounce.....right.... Murica!
22 dollars is overpriced regardless of its quality if its low torque and for something that size
That's why you get the standard version that's available as a GM power torque from orileys auto parts.
The problem with this is just that your multitool becomes a cheater bar to overtorque the tool.
The regular version is what you want, they're as strong as you will ever need and you're not going to break it.
These are actually a high quality tool, the manufacturer HI-FIVE makes endless variants of their bit ratchets and you'll find truck brands like MAC selling them ( overpriced through them though).
People have just too much money that are struggling to find things to spend on.
I need an edc welder because i dont know what if i need to weld my glasses back together
Great way to break your Leatherman...
Charles cranford make a diy video 6 years agl
Can you go faster and take less time on close ups? I could almost focus in before you moved it again!! Thanks!
Or buy a 1/4 inch Gear Wrench
👍👍
A tool a day keeps the tooth fairy away
Love how you can never get anything anybody makes a video about.
I just ordered two, they went back to "unavailable" really quickly though.
I appreciate your videos. I had a thought that you should consider renaming your channel "Next Best Tool". Another great name might be "The OCD Tool Buyer Channel". Just Sayin'
6/10 of an ounce is 18 gram.
Why would you want a low torque ratchet , buy a quality Snap on tool . 12/22
Something like that should be made gearless
Yo
"Heavy duty but not for heavy duty jobs" 🤣 Last worse tool
How in the hell is this EDC? Anything requiring a ratchet is going to break that thing especially if you put that extension on it! I am seriously growing tired of these YT jockeys calling every toy they buy an EDC item. Just stop already!
