Resurrecting this thread 'cause that "Best ratchets?" thread on the front page got me thinking about these "Olsa" ratchets again... Assuming these are rebranded SK LP90's (and if they aren't, I would be extremely curious to know who designed them and who is actually making them), I imagine this...

I've been eyeballing one of these Proto Precision ratchets for a while now, and my interest has grown even more since I learned that not only can you now get most of the variants at reasonable prices (well, "reasonable" for a premium American-made tool at least) if you know where to look, but...

Long time lurker, first time poster (also, will now insert the obligatory "this website has definitely cost me good deal of money on tools!" comment :ROFLMAO:) Have been hoping to participate in an Epstein's Day for some time now, and have been strongly considering getting a set of Wright combo...
