Great NOISE
This is quite possibly the most pure sounding ratchet on the market. It is also very capable of any of your ratchet needs. I bought this for a ratchet festival (held in my backyard) and everyone was simply amazed with the quality. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these bad boys up and you won't be disappointed.

Great ratchet
Love it. Nice and loud and crisp. I ordered small percussion for choral song that calls for loud noise makers in several places.

LOUD
Like the previous reviewer, my ratchet also broke. It was much louder than I expected it would be. Too loud to use just for fun with my classes of children. If someone had a deliberate use for it and treated it well it may fare better than mine did!

Ratchet
This ratchet is very loud, maybe too loud. Used with a bunch of schoolkids they broke the wood out fairly quickly so that it no longer worked. However, used by an adult, I imagine it would last awhile and does make an interesting sound.
