You forgot to tell how to release the ratchet!

To release the ratchet, you will need to find a lever to pull that releases tension in the teeth and then pull the ratchet completely open. The lever is about halfway down the handle. If you watch closely in the video at time 1:34, he uses his thumb briefly on the release lever. I would watch without sound so you don't get confused. Most ratchets release in similar manners. We will have our video updated to include a section on release the ratchet.
