It has happened with light usage. My main problem was with the Matco dealer, he didn't want to warranty after the second time, I had to send it in and get a replacement. Now the ratchet sits at home and my great Snap-On is at work.

I use Cornwell. They seem to last a long time, they resist mushrooming pretty well. No matter what you use the small punches will eventually bend. Cornwell replaces with no problems. C-mans ****, they bend or chip easily.

You should use a larger size ratchet if possible. With that said, Matco (craftsman) ratchets are weak and will break, without much force. My Matco 1/2 inch stripped a few times and would flip the reverse lever on its own. Buy Snap-on ratchets.

I have had both. I personally like the Lisle better. Both are durable and will last a long time. If I need 1/2 inch I just throw on an adapter.

You can get the same ratchet labeled champion at sears for 9.00. A lot of local tools supply stores around my area sell that ratchet with different labels, all for around 10.00

I have to agree but, our Matco guy doesn't live up to the normal Matco standard. At times when you get a price quote and ask him to order the item, when it comes in the next week the price is sometimes higher. I still buy from him, but only if he has the tool on hand. Don't like unexpected...

I have the same ratchet as well as the 80 tooth flex head 1/2 drive 18'' ratchet. Both are used daily and with excellent results.

I have tried a lot of HF tools and here are my finds. 1/2 impact sockets - Pass used everyday 3/4 impact sockets - Pass used almost everyday Black handle prybar set - Pass for light usage, they flex and are not strong enough for real heavy work. Digital Caliper - Pass Wood handle hammers (all)...

You ****, you ****, you ****. J/K Great find. I have a set of those box ends and they are great.

I have both the craftsman and the IR2135, and there is no comparison. The IR is great and I keep it at work. The craftsman is a decent gun for at home to rotate tires, etc. but I also got it for the club price 89.99

If I find a tool at work, it goes to the supervisors counter for the owner to claim. I would hope others would do the same for me. If the tool is found on the side of the road, a junk yard, a park or any other place where there is no chance of finding the owner then it is finders keepers.

I have used liquid white-out pens to do this before. Just mark the tool in the lettering and then use a shop rag to wipe of the excess and let it dry.

I received my box yesterday, the quality of this box is outstanding. Everyone in the shop was very impressed with Extreme Tools size and quality for the price. I would recommend this box to anyone looking for a large roll cabinet.

I have broken many ratchets from time to time. Older craftsman seem tough compared to their newer junk. But I love my Snap-on ratchets--feel and strength. I am still using my dads snap-ons that are more than 30 years old. The worst ratchet for the money is matco, in my opinion. I have a...

I got my 72x30 for 3050.00 (+450.00 for upgrade casters) and free delivery. Closeout special price. Shannon and strictlytoolboxes.com are the best. He helped me with a debit card processing issue and now my box is being shipped. I will post a review of the box after receiving it. You can't...
