$28 NAPA Roto Ratchet Pair Deal

[freudianfloyd]

I don't know how great of a deal this is, but I have been looking for a decent roto-ratchet, and found this NAPA pair for $28 so I pulled the trigger. I can't find much information on them, but look like rebranded Gearwrench.

Is that with shipping? Cripe Distributing has the Crescent versions for $25 shipped. I have this set and they work really well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crescent-CR...998052?hash=item5d5a10a224:g:RQIAAOSw3ydViBg4

Not sure about the shipping cost. My order showed $0 for the shipping cost on my receipt. Time will tell if they try to screw me when it ships.

Yeah, they are rebranded GW. Nothing wrong with that.

I've almost bought the Harbor Freight Roto-Head ratchets several times but couldn't bring myself to do it. I am pretty excited about these. I've never used a roto head, I hope they are worth the hype.

After buying the Crescent version's, I purchased a 1/4" HF roto just for comparison because of all the hype they get. Other than the QR on the HF, it is a complete piece or garbage. It's clanky, loud, rough, and I hate the handle.

Glad I waited. Thanks for the info.

So it looks like it's free for us in the lower 48.

I actually bought that set from that seller on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. They are definitely from the same source as Gearwrench. Not bad ratchets; more backdrag than my Snap On's, but the 3/8" is smaller than the Snap On, which I like.

Far nicer than HF, Gearwrench quality at a price that is hard to beat.

Kobalt seems to be the only one offering a metal grip, anyone tried that?

No and I don't think its a good design because roto ratchets are meant to be used as ratchets, as well as nut drivers (screwdriver). Greasy hands and an all metal design could make things pretty aggravating if trying to use that feature. Of course that's not a deal breaker, but it is something to think about. This is why screwdriver handles are designed the way they are and extensions have knurled sections. For grip.

I have the Cornwell set of these ratchets and really like them. Beware though, if you like to palm the ratchet head when doing some light duty work you can get pinched. It's the only thing that makes me rethink using them as my go to ratchets.
