We realized that we were going about our survey all wrong, you guys know far more about ratchets and what you want then we do. We have made a quick (1 question) survey for you to tell us what you want in a ratchet. Survey link We are also looking to get in touch (PM) with any machinist out...

You're correct in assuming this was for a grade, honestly none of the results came as a surprise. We intend to post a one question survey asking you to tell us what YOU want to see in a ratchet and then make up a list of your responses and see if what we can do.

This was our assigned topic, and our group members have very little chemical/metallurgical background. So redesigning the materials or manufacturing process would be out of our skillset.

Here are the Results of the survey, the image is too large to upload directly Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B84G4YIXFbhBaEdQOHJwejJldWc/view?usp=sharing At a Glance: 52.3% use a ratchet daily 55.2% own 10+ ratchets 21.6% believe that there is lack of versatility 11.5% found...

We are planning on usa made, we need a solid brand name and quality behind us if we are ever going to get the product off the ground.

Yes they are Ratchets, but we had people thinking we were redesigning the ratcheting mechanism instead of the whole tool. Ethnicity is part of the demographics portion that we are required to put in our survey for the class.

We are attempting to improve the socket wrench, not create a new one. This is something we will try to get into production and patent so we are a little wary of being too specific. So all I can tell you for now it's that we have way to swap handles and ratchet heads while maintaining strength...

Yes, every reply helps

Yes, I realized that but if I change the names now the typos become another category in the spreadsheet.

Hello, were an engineering team composed of highschool seniors tasked with improving the socket wrench we are looking for feedback and would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to answer our anonymous 12 question survey (multiple choice). Survey...
