Gearwrench locking flex

[nerraw117]

Anyone noticed they came out with gearwrench 84 tooth locking flex ratchets?

Didn't notice, but I have one of the Armstrong Maxx locking flex head and really love it. I'm sure Gearwrench's (another from Apex tool group) will be really nice too.

Why yes I did.

I like mine. Basically a Taiwan made version of the MATCO/Armstrong ratchets. The gearwrench versions use a two sided switch though, you can lock/unlock the ratchet head from underneath.

Did you notice that Gearwrench even came out with a 24 inch long locking 1/2 drive flex head 84 tooth ratchet?

I have been keeping my eye on that 24". Always wondered why Armstrong doesn't make a 24" locking flex.

I got the 120 tooth variety...

In "Non-lockable" form...

Because...

I'm very old...

And...

Move in a smaller arc...

And...

Work at a very slow pace...

So...

I didn't need to lock anything...

(And...at under $ 100.00 I couldn't turn them down...)

I don't like that there's a $30 markup to get the comfort grips.

They do, it's just exclusively produced for Matco.

As far as I'm concerned...

These ratchets are as good as it gets...
