    Mac 1/4" axis ratchet soft handle vs old mac soft handle

    Does anyone know if you can put the old fat mac soft handles on the newer axis ratchets? I have the 1/4 flex soft handle and hate it. love the ratchet, not the skinny handle....i have big hands.

    Why I Buy Tekton

    We have a farm & family store thats just like TSC but better. They carry tekton....first thing i noticed was the pry bars. Exact same as Mac striking prybars. Their XL ratchets are just like the ones now sold at oreillys...same guts. same cheap *** easy to strip out ratchets.

    Opinions On These Sockets? Impact Damage

    Look just like mine. I use 1/4" and 3/8" air ratchets anytime situation allows. Been using my Blue point since I stared my automotive career 4 1/2 yrs ago. Impact would leave heavier damage at both ends IMO.

    Pry Bar Set

    Not on your list,but ATD pry bars and the older napa prybars are both made by wilde, which is good for a usa made entry level prybar set. I also agree, the longest one being 36" bends way to easy because it is not a 3/4" or 5/8" shank like most prybars that long. I have the snap on and a...
