I'm = looking for real life experiences here. I am looking for the Ultimate = Ratchet. Something that works damn well so I wouldn't cry spending over $100 on = if that's how much it cost. Most of my [good] sockets are 1/2" so I would be = looking for a 1/2" ratchet - most likely a 3/8" as a companion if I really do find the = ultimate 1/2" drive. People have told me that Hazet of Germany = makes some really nice tools. There is a store here in town that has some and = I am not impressed. By not impressed I mean they do not fit my hand = like a glove and become the ultimate tool - more than likely it can take the = abuse one might throw at it but I would demand that out of a $25+ plus ratchet = these days. Currently I have a Craftsman 1/2 drive that is "middle" of = the road as my main ratchet - it gets the job done, but my hands still get cold = from the bare metal. I have tried other peoples Snap On and Mac Tools = ratchets and yes, they are nice - very nice but I am still thinking there is = something out there that is better. For Christmas by wife bought me the $39.95 = Canadian Tire "Professional Series" 1/2 ratchet with a nice black composite = handle. I've used it a bit and I would say it it going to the top of the class = so far... but is there something better? Surely there = is!
