Topeak Rocket Ratchet Lite?

JNieporte · **on:** August 31, 2012, 02:47:13 AM

Anybody have the Rocket Ratchet Lite? It looks like the same thing as the normal Ratchet rocket, except: the hard case is replaced with a nylon one, the tire levers aren't included, and there's no chain tool. Does anybody have one, who can comment on the quality? Photos are appreciated, even if it's just a normal Ratchet Rocket.

I can attest it is the same tool. I have one and the tool its self is of good quality. I have had it for years and use is regularly with no issues.

me too, I specifically got that version as I do not have use for the bike specific tools. One thing to keep in mind though:

-you need an extension, any standard size will do
-it only comes with hex-drives, get a bit kit.

I bought a small bit kit with mag-adapter, and I tend to change the load out as I see fit. The nylon pouch is great and has nice suspenders to keep both the ratchet and the bits from falling out.

Strangely, I ordered one last night off of UK eBay. Hoping it will be here on Sarurday!

I keep the Vic wrench and extension in with my Ratchet Lite kit along with a Widgy prybar.

That's because you're smart

this nylon sheath looks much friendlier than the hard case for EDC. I may have to think about it.

Did you get yours yet? It's always nice to see what members think of gear you've already got

Yep, I've been using it for about a month now and must say I'm impressed. Teamed up with a basic SAK (eg Compact or Climber etc) it's a great combo, very useful indeed. I will swap a few of the bits though as I defo don't need that many hex bits on a daily basis!
