Help me with my Survey for my Engineering Design Class

[dbot]

Ok guys, I have to do a market survey about a ratchet design for my Engineering Design class.

Our goal is to make a prototype of a flex head ratchet that can be locked at any angle. There are flex head ratchets on the market today, but not many that can LOCK into any position.

Here's a link to what a flex head ratchet looks like.. FLEX HEAD RATCHET
