What happens here

Dan reviews a MicroPro 'Steaming Hot Turd' ratchet, a tool he expresses disappointment with. While it appears to be a standard ratchet with a comfortable handle and forward/reverse mechanism, it fails under any significant resistance. He demonstrates that even minimal thumb pressure can stop the ratchet from moving, rendering it ineffective for tightening or loosening fasteners. He advises against purchasing this tool, noting its approximately $40-50 price tag from Amazon.

Goal: Critique the MicroPro ratchet, explaining its failure under load.
