Review on πŸ”§ High-Quality CRAFTSMAN Ratchet Wrench 3/8-Inch Drive - Improved 72-Tooth Pear Head Design (CMMT81748) by Adam Gambel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the master I remember, but at least they still support their product.

I hate to admit it, true craftsman tools are a thing of the past. Looks great, feels good in the hand, but something is fundamentally wrong with the ratchet. I've used it maybe 6 times, everything works fine. 2/6 times the ratchet is locked in one direction and the direction change lever cannot be moved. The mechanism is serviceable by two small capscrews on the bezel, but I don't have to service the ratchet every third time. It'll make a pretty nifty crowbar in my toolbox. Don't waste money. Now I will look elsewhere. EDIT: 11/08/19; Called the handyman support this afternoon. They send me another key for free and don't even want to return the original key. One of the easiest replacement procedures I've ever seen. Minus 15 minutes at phone queue. I wish the original key hadn't broken but at least they support their product. Hopefully the 2nd will be better than the original. Upgrade from 1 star to 4 stars.
