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!
