Well basically it's a o.k ratchet. It's made in the u.s.a. and is designed a lot like Matco ratchets. The lock for the flex head broke the first time I used it, however the ratchet works great. I'm a little disappointed in the warranty though. Got a runaround on where to get it fixed. Armstrong didn't want to help and tool topia (who sent it through amazon) wasn't much help either. But if you are at home its a great ratchet,if your a pro technician stay with Matco,Mac,or Snap on.

For some time, I heard about the quality of Armstrong tools, and many claim to be assimilated to MATCO and SNAPON but at a much lower price. So I purchased the model "11-994" out of curiosity, at first glance you may notice a very good finish in the design, and construction. As the number of teeth has only 60, however for my purposes there is no problem. In addition, partly in terms of quality, I will start testing it.Update 04/30/2012So far I have used several times in the repair of my car, and I really convinced its versatility. Has several advantages over brands like Matco and SNAPON, eg its head is thinner than the Dual SNAPON 80 of the same category, and the locking mechanism of the head is the same used for the model MATCO and this is higher than SNAPON model. On the other hand, does not have as many teeth as the model SNAPON (80) or as MATCO (88), yet offers too good performance thanks to its 60 teeth, and you can also purchase a "repair kit MATCO" and update them 88 teeth.However, yo must not forget that it costs almost half what they cost these other models.

I bought this to replace a Kobalt that is similar in design minus the locking flex head. That feature alone is worth the price difference. The Armstong is much lower profile, the gearset is finer with a more positive engagement, and you can feel the better build quality in it. The last thing which is probably the most important, it's Made in the USA. If you haven't heard of Armstong before they are on par with Snap-on and Matco, and current issue to the Marine Corps. Sometimes you can find surplus sets for much cheaper then retail. I picked up a set of the reversible ratchets (like GearWrench) for less than you could buy a set of the GearWrench for. It also had more sizes and they have proven to be better than the GearWrench for really hard to loosen rusty bolts. Ever since I started using them I now only buy from another company if they don't make the tool I need. That's how impressed I was with the quality, good luck and you won't regret buying an Armstrong tool unless your a socialist ;)
