I have some great US recordings

I have some great US recordings, Wright, Lisle, Channel Lock and Williams. I also love SK and find their quality excellent. SK is what I use for my home garage outlets. Good socket.

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Quality

Very good ratchet, the best among power tools and hand tools

Beautifully crafted ratchet, very smooth. Feels great in hand. It may have fewer teeth than modern ratchets, but this beautiful classic is so smooth you'll hardly notice it's there. My main ratchet at work is the 3/8 Flex Snap-on and I still hold that ratchet in high esteem.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Secret

Good solid 11 " ratchet

Good solid 11" ratchet. Very soft. I really liked the knurled handle and the screw that attaches the head to the shaft. The only downside to this ratchet, in my opinion, is that the head is too big for tight work, such as in the engine compartment. Therefore other ratchets such as the Gearwrench 84t or 120xp may work better in these situations.

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Something different

Quality tool: Wrench

I work as a diesel mechanic. This is a replacement for a Mac ratchet that has broken too many times (teeth in the head). I have several SK tools and they all work great and have stood the test of time. This device has a good length and I like the ability to change the flex tension. Good fit and finish. Love the ratchet and the fact that it's made in the USA. Worth the money if you want a quality tool.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Expensive

SK is the best manufacturer of torque wrenches

I'm a total SK fan. I have Matco, Snap On, Gearwrench, and a bit of every major DIY brand (Husky, Kobalt, etc.) between home, school, and work, and I always look for SK first. This ratchet is surprisingly smooth, strong as an ox, and has plenty of leverage. I used it once when I couldn't find the breaker and literally stood on it to unscrew a nut on my friend's car. You can't go wrong if your instrument says SK. I just wish they had a fixed flex head version as this can be adjusted if you areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hugh quality workmanship Body: strong and reliable hand tool. 3/8" drive The 10.9" professional articulated ratchet impresses with its workmanship and quality. Works well on high torque applications
Cons
  • Older model

Ready coming in four months.

Excellent 3/8 ratchet with fine teeth and nice long handle for good leverage. The finish isn't that great though. The chrome finish is chipping off the head and I've only used it for regular, low-key shading woodwork since purchasing it in April 2016. For now I'll keep using it intact as a feature, but now I'm a bit worried about rust. I can just toss it in my truck's tool box and wait for the big expensive white snap-on truck to buy a similar model. one when I posted mine. The whole warrantyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High-end design: The ratchet gear has a flexible 11-inch head. Supplied with hardened pawl and teeth. Triple contact metric hand tools provide smooth turning with little backlash
Cons
  • Something different

Made in the USA, extremely quiet

This SK 3/8 rotary head ratchet is amazing. I bought this ratchet to replace my old Craftsman ratchets as they are now made in China (didn't want to break my US made Cman and got a Chinese one instead). This SK ratchet is made in the USA, has a very smooth ratcheting action and the finish is superb. Something to note about this ratchet, it doesn't have a button to release the socket but pull hard on it to loosen it, also something I didn't expect as my dad didn't have this in an old SK from the
