Testing a fine batch of ratchets. Mac Tools is best. The Harbor Freight is cheap and good. Snap-On is the strongest. Husky is the worst. 🔥Safety Squint T-Shirt! https://teespring.com/SafetySquints_us

I inherited some tools from my father in law that he either bought used or when he was a kid and they truly are my most prized tools. Myself I did buy a Snap-on ratchet and I was so unhappy about the price at the time but 20 years later I'm certain I got what I paid for. I also use many harbor freight tools but never sockets or ratchets (or pullers) this is from hard fought experience but for one offs you cannot beat them. Also I have used some grinders for over 10 years. Old video but I just found your cranky wonderful channel.
I like the video but would be nice if you share all the info for all the ratchets.
Well, 250 lbs-ft is my crank bolt , it would seem they could all do it, at least one time
I’m gonna buy a el cheapo round head alike to that proto, and put a hefty 30” handle on it. If it can take 300+ ftlb I’m sure it can take my shrimpy frame hanging on it
Videos 5 years old and the last comment was 8 days ago. To be Still relevant 5 years later is in this day and age is a feat in itself.
How about GearWrench?
I just noticed that on my ratchets a good amount of the “slop” comes from the fit of the socket onto the anvil rather than the anvil wiggling inside of the ratchet’s gears
I was given a set of craftsman wrenches by a coworker that were serialized 42058-42068…. 42068!!!! Are you fucking kidding me! They did me like that? Threw the whole bunch of ‘em at an illegal stealing tools off the job site. He can keep those sons of bitches instead
Would like to have seen the old 1970-80s Craftsman 1/2 inch drive fine tooth ratchet taking that test.
I've just started work manufactoring mining equipment and looking at buying tools. I'm in Australia and Sidchrome was always the big brand. Now it seems to be Kinchrome.; have you had any experience with these brands?Love your work, all the best, Ric
Thats what my wife said 😂
Just because they didn't perform to perfection doesn't mean it's not a good tool. And I'm biased in favor of ALL good tools : )
I hope the 2.3m views covered the $50k cost in ratchets for this test 💵🙏
I like that the compressor sounds like a drum roll.. (:
You haven't tested a ratchet until you have a cheater on it along with the other two mechanics, the car wash guy, and the guy with the clipboard pulling on it with ya. Then when it breaks the boss wants to know why the clipboard nurd has a broken nose.
