Man that is a big ratchet! What are you going to use it for? I want one!

 

[MXblur]

I'm a diesel technician, theres couple other guys at the shop using them too. Even though its a large ratchet the flex head and 88tooth head makes it really easy to get into tighter areas that may not otherwise be possible. Its also big enough to use when torque turning some of the head bolts on our engines!

I have the SK version of that screwdriver

I use the hell out of my 24 ft ratchet. Its a snap on but same idea. You must work on some bigger stuff to be needin a ratchet like that. My boss has the same one and has had good luck with it.

Those ratchets can be a blessing on alignments. Havent had alot of use for one outside of that, but just for those instances they are heavenly!!!!

How is that relevant? Don't think any of the brands have a spotless track record. Case in point:

I have a 24" Snap-On 1/2" drive flex head that I bought 6 or 7 years ago. It is one of the most handy ratchets I own. I've never broken it but I've also never had a cheater pipe on the end or stood on it either.

To the OP, enjoy your new ratchet. I'm sure you'll be glad you bought it.
