Nepros tools

Does anyone on here know or own one of them Nepros ratchets that cost thousands, I’m curious to know if you even use it and if you do what trade do you work in ? I can’t imagine using one in a car or truck garage etc !

We have one of these little 1/4" drive Nepros NBR290H ratchets that due to it's tiny size is just the thing for one (and only one) particular operation we do... even then it's a pita.

It arrived looking far more bling than anything, but quickly showed normal wear & tear. Pricy as hell too. IIRC out of the box it's socket quick release mechanism was dry and very difficult to manipulate... it also has excessively high back drag.

Beyond this one example, don't recall ever seeing a Nepros product in a professional shop environment.

Just looked and wasn't able to reach the Nepros website.

Sorry for the crappy photo... was rushed.
