Description is confusing. Is this a quick release head or not?

no, it's a 1/4" hex bit with a 1/4" square drive with detent ball. the hex end passes through the wratch. in other words you can take the whole bit out the part that looks like a quick release button is actually the bit you push it out with your thumb. I know this sounds confusing but hope it helps

Tool broke does it have a warranty?

If it's past the time that you can return to Amazon, please send picture of tool and the information to csrhardware@apextoolgroup.com

Can i use a quarter inch hex shank 3/8 adapter with this? To use 3/8 sockets as well?

81127 -1/4" Drive 1/4" F x 3/8" M Adapter | GEARWRENCH

hex bit or socket end m. Does it stick out out say more than 3/16 of an inch? Is it secure or can it fall out easily?

The 1/4” square drive protrudes about 7/16” from the face of the ratchet. It is adequately held in place with a spring system. Easily removable and the ratchet head accepts any 1/4” hex head tip.

Ottimo acquisto

Un gioiellino. Magari la testa un po' logora anche quando blocatta, però il prezzo è più che ottimo.

Nice ratchet.

Great tool and nice form factor. Low back drag when using in tight spaces. The length seems to be just about perfect for most uses unless your in a confined space. Being able to use 1/4-In bits or a 1/4-in square drive with a regular socket is great. I get lots of leverage with this tool. I have smaller ratchets that have similar features for more confined spaces, but honestly those don't always work for the type of work I do so having something a little bit longer with more leverage works out well.

Ótima chave de catraca!

Excelente chave de catraca com a cabeça flexível. Bem comprida o que proporciona um torque maior. O material é de excelente qualidade e muito resistente. Recomendo o produto!

Great quality tool for your money.

Great craftsmanship. Very nicely built. Looks as good as a Snap-on or MAC product. I would definitely purchase this ratchet again. Hoping I never need to, if the build quality is as good as their presentation. Detents on the flex head have positive engagement. Thumb wheel on the top is a nice bonus and works well. Very solid, well built tool. GearWrench makes very nice tools for their price point. Well worth the investment.
