## Questions & Answers

**Q: How smooth are the bearings in the gimbal? Could you relate them to as smooth as a skateboard bearing?**
A: Yes; very smooth, much like 360 degree oscillating movement spherical bearing...

**Q: For something with a "cylindrical" profile, I don't get the dimensions.  (5 x 2.5 x 1 inches?)  What's the diameter of the piece held in the hand?**
A: Paul, I don't get the dimensions either. The Gimbal driver is about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1 inch in length.  I do not understand the 5.  It is well made and has a nice finish.  Taiwan I think.  The nice looking (but slick) polished aluminum could be difficult to grasp with sweaty or greasy hands.  Knurled would have been better but I was overall impressed with the quality. Tom

**Q: Does this 3/8 and the 1/4 Gimbal Rachets have a quick release?**
A: if you mean can you release the socket with one hand no.  You have to pull the socket off, it's held on by a spring loaded ball on one of the 4 sides.   It doesn't take too much force, but no way to remove the socket with one hand.

**Q: Does it have a 'center' (between cw/ccw) or 'fixed' setting  that allows you to apply torque in either direction without change or cw/ccw only?**
A: No.  It ratchets in one direction and locks in the other..  To switch direction of torque, flip wrench over.
