After greasing the inside it's the smoothest ratcheting ratchet that I have. Even smoother than the craftsman premium ratchets

Looks identical to the penens 1661 but its a 3/8 drive

Cool thanks guys. It wouldn't even ratchet when I took it home, but I cleaned it all up inside and added some grease from my grease gun and it ratchets like new, very smoothly. Maybe get some pics tomorrow, my baby is asleep right now

Procured a ratchet today, been sitting in this guy's tool box for ages he said. It's a smaller handled teardrop ratchet that has "fleet" written under the head. Any info on this company?

I wouldn't be so sure about honda; they even use their own brand of oil, albeit mfg by someone else, formulated specifically for honda engines

And I just noticed the "large" portion of it... :sad: oops

I just bought this set metric 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 for about $45 at sears

Craftsman has SAE and metric sets that are about $50 each set and more complete than the sunex sets and are fully chromed, good quality.

Same happened to me when I warrantied a 1/2'' drive ratchet. They're like $20 new but the one I got in return was refurbished. I didn't really mind, but not the service I expected.

Now if they could only upgrade the rest of their lineup, like the screw type presses that strip threads like it was made of plastic, or the screwdrivers whose tips bend when you're putting a tiny bit of muscle into them. Fan of their 3/4'' sockets though, just as good as any other brand, just...

Thanks for the replies guys. Just what I was looking for :beer:

I like beam torque wrenches (deflecting beam) more than the clicker type whenever it's possible to use them. I was wondering, do these type lose calibration? I've heard you just need to reset them to zero, but I never have to because mine always stay at zero even when I torque them to the...

castle nut comes off easy even if its rusted. Then i just shock the knuckle with a hammer and it pops right out. But I try to get that jam nut loose before I take the castle nut off. Yesterday it wouldn't budge so I did it backwards.

I think I'm gonna get a set of butterfly sockets (like icanfixanything recommended) and a portable oxy/acetylene torch kit. If it were spinning then hecks yeah I would cut it off. If you can cut a fastener down the side they'll usually pop open near the end. If not you can stick a little prybar...
