Solidly built in the USA.
It just arrived and my first impressions are all good. It feels solidly built in the USA of good quality steel. Pear shaped head and smooth handle feels good in my hand and will prevent fatigue. The size is perfect for those tight spaces. The gearing clicks solidly with just a couple of degrees of rotation. Cant wait to use it.

and a very small head make this one of my favourite
Very smooth ratcheting, minimal back drag, and a very small head make this one of my favourite ratchets

It’s a good ratchet, but only ok given the price
This is an initial impression rather than a review since I just received this ratchet and haven’t done any serious work with it. I was waffling between three and four stars, but I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt on the expectation that it must be good because it’s Porto and I will be more impressed as I use it more.Pros:- chrome looks good, no defects- head size is quite small - should fit in tight places- the whole ratchet is smooth and streamlined, should clean up easy- it’s clearly marked as USA-made- came lubed with some light oil weeping out of the reverse switch- very positive engagement in the ratchet clicksCons:- the back drag is substantial. I may just take it apart and see if the spring can be trimmed a little to lower the tension on the pawl- I knew it wasn’t a fine-tooth ratchet when I bought it, but it’s worth mentioning that the swing needed to advance to the next tooth is pretty average (trade off should be strength, but I haven’t owned it long enough to have an impression on that)- knurling isn’t super sharp. Some may prefer this (but since it’s a $50 ratchet, I feel it’s fair to be picky)- it’s smaller than advertised - 6 & 11/16” according to the ad, but 5 & 5/8” in reality (see my last picture)

Awesome ratchet, great quality, recommended
This awesome little ratchet joined forces with my pear head proto ratchet, and has been a work horse for me. The ratcheting is crisp and small degree, the machining is good and I have strained it a bit fearing it might break, but it powered though without issue. Much better ratchet than the Craftsman it replaced, Proto is a name you and trust, and is still putting out quality tools.
