Just got in my Nepros 1/2 breaker bar and 90 tooth stubby ratchet from Franks:
1/2 Breaker Bar:
3/8 90 Tooth Stubby Ratchet:
My first Nepros ratchet and I can say it is smooth as butter and has some weight to it for the size of the stubby. The details are incredible and...
If you want something similar to lenght of Snap-On go with the long SKs. I initially got short and once I got them in I only then found out they are short in length, kind of between a stubby and regular size.
I have a 3/8 palm ratchet from Williams that was given to me and is in need of a repair kit. Anyone have one that would fit or have any leads or other kits that may fit. Willing to buy good working ratchet if needed.
Can a full threaded machine screw be used in its place? Possibly use a full thread shank with threads on grip area cut down.

Maybe I should starting selling my HF coupons online....:D
I have bought many coupons online from ebay, but usually they are $0.99 shipped and savings are much much higher then that.
Most likely set the price that high to see what sort of offers he will get without selling himself short. Tactic that I think will work probably not, but who knows. I usually sort by ending soonest and new, and by lowest price; once I get the price level I stop looking usually.
I just got in yesterday the 3/8 palm/finger ratchet and build quality is excolent as noted in this thread. I got it from Nepros.Net and was shipped from Japan and receaved in 3 days, faster then I can get most items from the other coast. I have a 3/8 90 toot 3/8 stubby on pre-order as I have...
I am not a professional by any means, just a weekend worrier working on his GTI and and friends cars now and then. Also some things around the house. I do have a full set of Wera bits as I was able to get them for cheap and last pretty well. I was able to get the Wera hex screwdriver for $12...
I like the collet design but rather have a fixed shaft to keep the narrow. I like the Wera handle and may try out there bit holder, magnetic, non-collet style.
Where the shank meets the handle there is collet also that you can push down to have the hex shank go into the handle. You can also remove the shank and use it as a nut driver for power tools.

Hex bits are the other common ones I often use. That does take care of a good deal of what I would use it for though. May just stick with my CM bit driver for those.
But I don't think with those you could use the typical 1/4 hex bits as it would not have the ball detent to hold the bit into the shaft.
Hmm, also see the collet style but rather have something with a thinner shaft.
