whats the difference between the 2" and 2.5" besides the size/width? Someone who has the 2.5" say they're going to buy the.2".is it really a big diff?

Only difference is the width of the jaw. The big one will still work with smaller tubes. I have the 2.5" and have used it for everything from 5oz jb weld tubes to .7oz super glue tubes.

Does this tool employ a "ratchet" action (where each squeeze *locks* into place the current level until next squeeze)?

No.. you squeeze out material.. it doesn't lock...

Is this made in the usa?

Yes... copied from the item description in the listing on Amazon 👇 Country Of Origin: United States
