Yeah, but the ratchet wrench wouldn't fit GCP.

The ones I got from Harbor Freight are still going strong after 8+ years. They will replace them if they ever break I'm told but I haven't had to test that yet.

Thanx for all the replies , I went with this cheap set for 79.97 free shipping, 26 pc set .

Hope I don't regret it , if I'm disappointed I'll garage sell them and go with one of the other recommendations you guys gave on here



Photos to follow if I can resize or some stupid crap like that

I use ratchet wrenches less frequently but nice to have in the lineup… this morning on the power washer- no Z clearance for a socket - could use a box wrench but nice to have, not a must have.

at least they included the 18 in that set
to many sets exclude 18mm
and you need it for a lot of GM brake jobs

I have a set of these...don't have to flip them Ovah...has a direction switch..and a swivel head

i like snap on but they are not cheap

I bet I used my ratchet wrenches more than any other tool since I've had them. Slick tool.

I think you made a good choice for the money, I will tell you this though, Milwaukee hand tool's are the real thing.

I have blue point also, use the devil out of them.

As much as it pains me to say it. Harbor Freight has a pretty good deal with the lifetime warranty no questions asked replacement. The tools are knockoffs but work fairly well.

Fairly well doesn't cut it when its your profession and the customer is waiting for their car to be finished.

For the shade tree mechanic, those knock offs are great. The old saying....

Different strokes for different folks.

That looks like my wrench’s when I’m looking for a certain one .

Agree

That's a heck of a deal. For non-professional use that's all ya need. To own pro grade tools , especially Snap-On for a homeowner is almost stupid. Because Snap-On has stupid prices. I know , I put the Snap-On guy's kids through college......lol


FYI - pro tip for all ,
Never use a ratcheting wrench to break loose a tight or stuck fastener if you can help it. Use a normal wrench to get it loose , then switch to the ratcheting wrench.

As a young mechanic still learning , I broke many , many ratcheting socket wrenches. Craftsman , S-K , Mac , Matco and Snap-On , broke them all , even 1/2" drive. Yeah , ya got new ones for free but after a while , I learned to pick up a breaker bar ( non-ratcheting ) and use that instead. I spent less time returning tools I broke. Good thing years ago Sears didn't have a rigorous process to return tools , because if they collected my data they might have blacklisted me for the large amount of tools I replaced.

I was expecting to see a old ratchet wrench being used as a scent post when I opened this. You can imagine my disappointment. Lol. Mine are American made Craftsman.
