caftsman ratcheting wrenches are the **** of all ****........

I realy like how tight the gears in the Stanley ratchets are.

Keep an eye out for garage sales, people are always getting rid of old tools, I stoped and picked up a whole toolbox of misc. sockets for $10.00 I would say that there were 100+ sockets and half were all rusted and shity, thay were all craftsman, took them bitches back to sears and got some new ones. Best $10.00 ever spent.

If you have the coin go with a zero degree non-ratcheting. Pops has a set, damn they are nice.

Ratcheting wrenches are the greatest thing ever invented. My GF heard me talking about how great they are and last time we were at Wal-Mart she stops by the tool section and tells me to get "those things you were talking about". It was awesome that she wanted me to get them....but not at Wal-Mart. :1

I love my Craftsman tools. When I bought my set I bought an extra set of ratchets, 3/8 1/4 and 1/2 just incase they ever broke, but I never had to use them. I think I paid like $189 off Ebay with a plastic box/case and it has been one of the best investments I've ever made. My next addition will be a set of those ratcheting wrenches.

I think all the craftsman ratchets are absolute ----. I can stand the new ones. I have some really old ones that are great and never break. I have an SK ratchet I have had forever and its the best. Sockets and pretty good though.
