Well the last two of my Snap on black handle 3/8 ratchets arrived this morning.So that gives me a full set of 3/8 hard handles according to my 1988 catalog.

Any other designs out there that I'm unaware of?

I sure wish Snap-on kept making those traditional plastic handles, I don't like the soft comfort grip, plus they are hard to clean unlike the good old plastic handles, nice tools guy.

where is the palm-style ratchet spinner? (V). You already have that one?

So, yours must be newer then the catalog pics; you the next generation after that, right? Very nice group of ratchets... I can't seem to find these specialty ratchets used around here... ebay seems to be the source for these cool ratchets...

Never seen one up close and don't have any desire for it.To me those gimmicky things hold no interest.If I ever found a spot to use it I could just as easy use a flex ratchet like a speeder handle,or a stubby ratchet.

Billymade,I was originally looking for the older style small handles but they were a lot harder to find.I do have a couple of that style and I'll keep an eye out for the rest-never hurt to have two sets right?

Yeah, you can never have too many Snap-On ratchets! Another thing is, some of those earlier handles tend to just disintegrate, I have a number of those ealier screwdrivers that are that way.... maybe another reason they are hard to find? I have the "palm ratchet", "v" shown in the picture, I don't really use it but the "cool" factor is definitely there... :)
