For shop tools, any quality 2(or 4) pawl 60 tooth gear ratchet will will provide 120 positions, each at 3 degrees of arc separation. Most higher quality 3/8" and 1/2" drive ratchets are in this category. The only issue with a "Sprag" clutch type ratchet is that it is much weaker than a pawl type ratchet--and once you exceed it's torque limit, it's junk. So, fine tool for the trail, not so much for the shop.
I appreciate that you and many other RU-vidrs are being upfront about their relationship with the product/company prior to doing a review. At first I thought these were tools you randomly found on Amazon and wanted to share with your viewers. It’s still a cool tool.
I have the black Unich stepless ratchet. Been using it for a year. Relative from overseas got them for me as a gift. It's pretty tough. I was skeptical about it at first because it's hollow but it managed to bust pretty tough bolts. Love it!
These look pretty well made. One-direction ratchet that you need to flip is a bonus, one thing less that can break and the whole ratchet can be more simple and sturdy.
I have one of these, one word of warning, don’t use this to try to remove seized bolts, the threads on the handle will sheer. But I still bought another one ( and a pedal wrench) because it’s so damn convenient
Personally I use a conventional mini pump combined with a hose from an old car tire fit set. I have put the brass core of a car valve (stripped by the rubber) into the other side of the hose, so you can put it into the normal car type connector of the pump and on the bike you can screw it directly on car type valves or on a adapter on a Presta valve. By having the air outlet on the side you can put it vertically on the floor and use it like a floor pump.
I bought a Toprak mini rachet, initial thinking I would just leave it in my bike pack. But I now keep it at arm's reach in my shop at all times and find myself using it alot, it's SUPER HELPFUL for strange geo bottle cages and alot of seat post binder bolts. I'm sure this one would have the same benifits
@@TheBikeSauce I checked the price of the Lyzene and I think it's actually less, but I am not sure it has the analog pressure gauge which is a nice feature. I bought the Uniche ratchet tool some time ago and I like it a lot. Good quality and very handy.
@AJ XOXO Did you Fail your English Class? Do you have problem with reading and comprehension? Nobody said here Lezyne Invented the pump. This is a matter or Patent which is nowadays nobody really cares anymore. But ill keep supporting original manufacturers. I pay a lot but it's original and will last for decades.
The thing is you only know how good a tool is over time. Once you get issues with ratchet devices, it is pretty much junk. That is why I shy away from stuff in flashy colors with a low sticker price.
you can get an electric pump for aobut 40 bucks thats not bigger than a little hand pump. and they actually work. fits in my pump slot in my backpack. the pump i got even charges devices in a pinch.
I bought the High Volume pump about a year ago. I tried it once in my garage and it seemed like it worked fine. Two months later I pulled out the pump to fill my tube after a big puncture. Two pumps into the refill and the rubber hose snapped in half. It was 70 degrees, so it wasn't brittle due to cold. The rubber was hard and not very flexible. I contacted Uniche, they never responded. Maybe I got a bad one, but regardless, I was out $34.
I have a Teng tools mini ratchet they have decent enough engagement, and good bits, tighter tolerance in the bolts than most tools I've tried, atleast Bondhus/Parktool, I notice it some might not. But checked out what the local tools store had, I saw it and bought it. I also have a bits set with security Torx bits.
Hmmm the first all"in"one tool very interesting ? For the bike pump I have used and still use that type of pump but I try to stay away from the hose thread is some kind of metal and the other end plastic. The thread start to strip even if the pump is capable pressure for your tires.
New to your channel, and I like the content that you make. First time to see the Uniche brand and I just learned about their mini pump. I'm looking for a not-so-immediate upgrade to mine, but I've been burned before. Currently have a Decathlon mini pump, but before that I had a Lezyne (forgot the specific model). After a few months, the aluminum parts started to corrode into powder and rendered the pump unusable. I do hope Uniche had that sorted out with their product.
I totally agree, a pump proper carried lasts life long , on the bike they die fast, specially here on a arid place, the hotness and the UV radiation hardens the internal rubbers and weakens the plastics.
@@JL-up8nh I have a dropper post there so that won't work, also depending on seat tube diameter it won't work, and how do you easily gett it out if it gets stuck? that makes no sense.
Cool review(s)! I use the Uniche 16g cartridge inflator and plug combo unit. This is also well made. I like being able to inflate through the plug stabber.
The affiliate link for the ratchet tool goes to Amazon and currently says it’s unavailable. This comment is 1 day after the video was posted. Maybe they sold out quickly?
I don't think the first one is really practical. Try to screw brake caliper or a seat - I am sure there will be no clearance at all, because I have hard time with some multitools that are much smaller like the topeak rocket rachet which barely have clearance.
I don't see the need for the big knob and bulky handle, but must tbe nice for big hands. But if you nee a 5ool for tight space the huge handle is an disadvantage. So it's a pass for me.
Nicely said very informative like the tool the mini pump not so much i have a lezyne version that will probably last me for ever as i dont like it its soooo sooo slow the cheaper pastic mini pump with thumb lock is way better .
You didn't test the pump. Compare it to your normal carry. Does it inflate faster? Is the max pressure achievable? Mount it, and see if it falls off. Nice looking products, but where is the added value to your review?
Does the pump screw onto the valve stem or the valve core? I've had different bands of pumps that use a flexiable hose that screw onto the valve core and all have taken out the core at different times when using the different pumps. I've gone to a pump that attaches to teh valve stem.
The title, should cost more. Will make the vendors jack up the price. Think before you publish then again, you did say they are sent to you so that's how you pay them back.
What I was hoping to find out about the pumps, is how many strokes will they take to get to 80 psi, and what kind of effort was involved to get there? This is why I hate these RU-vid pump reviews because no one will do that test. And if a pump is advertised that it can reach 140 psi, let's see a human do that, you will be very sorry for trying.
