Project Ratchet was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in early 2021.

Our Nordic roots have deeply influenced our approach in developing our rings, with minimalist design, heirloom durability, and straightforward functionality as core values.

Project Ratchet is managed from Stockholm, Sweden. Our rings are precision-machined in our partner’s engineering workshop in Seoul, South Korea, and shipped from our fulfillment partner in Ohio, United States.

All orders, size exchanges and returns go through our shipping partner based out of Ohio, United States. 

If you’re from the EU, UK, or Australia, don’t worry. This doesn’t mean you’ll have to pay any extra import fees or VAT. We take care of that in advance for you.

*Renewed rings ship from our Sweden HQ.

We meticulously machine our products out of some of the best materials on Earth. That’s why each Ratchet Ring is guaranteed for a lifetime against defects in materials and craftsmanship.

If you need a replacement spring, we can always send you one - free of charge.

If anything happens to your Ratchet Ring over time, we will be there to help you. We handle this on a case by case basis, and every situation is different from the next. What they all have in common is that they end with your Ratchet Ring back in pristine clicking condition.

This guarantee applies to handling under responsible use by its original owner. Exposure to harsh chemicals or damage caused by high drops, extreme exposure to the elements, neglect, etc., will void the warranty.

The sound of the ring depends on how you use it. Turn it slowly with more pressure, and the clicks become soft and muffled.

Turn it quickly with a lighter touch, and you'll hear sharper, louder clicks.

You're in full control of the sound, but in a completely silent or very quiet room, even the quietest motions may be heard as a a faint clicking sound.

Our customers say it best:

"This has been a game changer!! The clicks are loud enough for me to hear them but not enough to annoy my coworkers...which is the main thing 😂😂 paid for the express delivery and took less than a week which was alot faster than i expected as im in Ireland i thought it would take longer. Customer service team is great as well. 10/10 have recommended to everyone"

79% of Ratchet Ring V2 owners report wearing their ring daily [2024 customer survey, the Ratchet Ring and Polar Ring share the same external design].

One of our main focuses when designing our rings is to make sure they are comfortable to wear in daily life. This means that while the Polar Ring is thicker than most rings, it's thin enough to not bother your other fingers when wearing it.

Our customers say it best:

"...Super smooth and comfortable. Not too heavy. Love the clicks..."

- IAmHestbech, [scroll to find the original review here]

"The production quality on these is top notch. I was strictly a silicone ring guy for years and was worried about the comfort going back to metal and the thickness as well. I can tell you I haven't taken it off since it arrived, it feels great on the finger and the rachet is super satisfying. Very happy woth the purchase and customer service as well!"

- Ryan C., [scroll to find the original review here]

"This ring is the perfect size to wear comfortably. The fidget is discrete and from my experience has not bothered anyone around me. I use it all the time!"

Water will not damage the ring, but since the ring is not fully encapsulated (this would cause too much friction), water can find its way into the ring. This small amount of water will also find its way out with a few turns.

You can wash your hands or even shower with the Ratchet Ring, but you will notice a different feeling in the clicks for a while after. It goes back to normal after it dries up.

Do not wear the Ratchet Ring in the ocean or expose it to salt water - this can damage the internal mechanism of the ring.

Normal use in non-salt water will not lead to corrosion.

The Ratchet Ring is machined in 316 Stainless Steel.

316 is a highly durable and corrosion resistant grade of stainless steel.

The Ratchet Ring Black Edition has a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating. This means that an additional (and highly durable) layer of carbon with a diamond-like structure is added to the surface to change the color.

Yes! The logic behind this is very simple - you replace a bad habit (nail biting/ skin picking) with a good habit (clicking the Ratchet Ring). What's different here is the similarities of the two habits. They both give a sense of resistance and release, and they both sit on your hand. This makes the transition from biting to clicking more natural, and it makes it easier to really integrate it into your routine and rewire your brain to clicking the ring instead of biting or picking.

Our customers say it best:

"So addictive, feels and looks great. Plus biting my nails has gone down tremendously"

- Bradley S., USA [scroll to find the original review here]

"I've had the ring for maybe a month now and I got it for combating my nailbiting and it absolutely helps. Yes, it is quite expensive at first but I was so curious that I just wanted to try it out. You abolutely get what you pay for, good quality, good support. I went for this ring, because of its convenience and formfactor. Most other fidget toys are big, loud, or you need to carry them around. This just effordlessly lives on your hand, exactly at the place where you need it. I can effortlessly start turning the ring when I get nervous/stressed and want to bite my nails. I love the fact that its clicky but not that loud. I work at an office and when my collegue is in the room with me she doenst hear the clicking (exept when its dead silent)..."

- Yorick D., Netherlands [scroll to find the original review here]

"Extremely high quality materials, and it clicks exactly as expected. I've so far been able to quit biting my nails, which has been a challenging lifelong battle! I'm happily surprised how much the ring has helped, and now my hands don't hurt or bleed anymore from being picked at. Funny how simple of a solution this turned out to be! Highly recommend as an outlet for anxious energy."

- Janna W., Canada [scroll to find the original review here]

"I pick at my nails and cuticles constantly without noticing until I bleed. Have done so since I was a child. This ring has been life changing, giving me somewhere else to direct that urge, and saving me a lot of embarrassment from having damaged fingernails."

- Lydia C., USA [scroll to find the original review here]

"Super quick delivery, and works a charm! I have super bad anxiety and used to bite my nails all the time. But now, I can spin this and it’s made my nails look a whole lot better. 100% best purchase for my nails."

- Ben F., UK [scroll to find the original review here]

The Ratchet Ring acts a discreet outlet of any nervous or jittery energy you may have. When you feel anxious, turn the ring gently, feel the stimulation of the clicks, and take a few deep breaths.

The tactile clicks of the Ratchet Ring is something you will always have control over, even when the world around feels chaotic.

Our customers say it best:

"I have been suffering from extreme anxiety resulting from years of abuse. Panic attacks were a normal for me and medication only helps to a certain point. I have tried different things through the years, only to be a waste of money and time.

I was hesitant due to the cost of one ring and fear it would be another waste of money and time. I eventually decided to give it a try.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the rachet sound, thinking it might be annoying. I actually find it soothing and comforting in a way. The spinning in conjunction with the ratchet sound helps with concentration, has a calming affect and takes your mind off of things."

- April G., USA [scroll to find the original review here]

"The product you need if you are anxious or prone to distraction."

- Paul M., Australia [scroll to find the original review here]

The Polar Ring can help you focus by distracting you from distractions. It keeps your hands busy with a satisfying, mindless motion, so instead of chasing fleeting thoughts, your attention is anchored to the calming rhythm of the clicks.

Our customers say it best:

"Whenever I used a fidget toy, I often felt watched and judged, as if having something to fidget with was incongruous with being an adult. In comes the polar ring! The haptic feedback is incredible! It stretched that itch in my brain, all while being relatively silent. It is also incredibly easy to maintain with the included tool and detailed cleaning instructions. I would recommend this ring to anyone who needs something to fidget with but also wants to keep a low profile."

- Aziz B., USA [scroll to find the original review here]

Yes! The positive effects of the Ratchet Ring can be even more pronounced in this group of people. Neurodivergent people often have unique sensory and motor needs, and the Ratchet Ring can provide a way to meet those needs in a discreet and constructive way.

Our customers say it best:

"...It is so useful for my unmedicated ADHD, and this ring is something I plan to give to one of my nephews in many years. The guys at PR hooked me up and sent me some spares! There is life before finding the ratchet ring, and there is life after! Kudos!..."

- Xander T., USA [scroll to find the original review here]

"...As a person that deals with crushing levels of stress, anxiety and ADHD I cannot recommend it enough. It has really helped me in situations where I am struggling...."

- Roberto A., Spain [scroll to find the original review here]

"...This is a great company run by generous, kindhearted people who truly care about their customers. I have struggled with ADHD and anxiety my whole life which can unfortunately be reflected on my fingers through the bad habit of unconscious finger picking. These past two years were particularly challenging for me between supporting myself through graduate school, being a caretaker for two family members, as well as working part time jobs while trying to complete unpaid clinical hours. Needless to say, I was a mess. This ring, though hasn't been the end all be all solution for me, has immensely helped ease my tension and fidget in a more socially acceptable way...."
