Well Mr. 3baygarage, I believe you win. lol. I thought I was bad with 20. I'm not done acquiring though.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good personality. Lol

The problem is that I used a debit card. I tried to dispute it. I even tried to flag the third hold they've put on my account as fraudulent, since it wasn't authorized, and they haven't sent anything, but I wasn't even able to do that. With a debit card, someone could draft up to $1500 per...

I just really like ratchets, man. I know it's weird, but it's true. At least it's not toasters or something. Lol

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid it, but I canceled it today. It's worth the peace of mind.

Update (June 25th): While on the phone with their rep this afternoon, they were trying to refund me for the second tool Instead of a refund, there is now a hold on my account for another $224. Supposedly, they haven't drafted my account, but we'll see.

Is that something Snap-on is known for? I definitely noticed a big difference between my 1/2" and 3/8", but I assumed it was due to difference in models.

My car is a corvette. I would consider a Japanese car if they also made a cheap, plastic rocket. lol

Yeah, my 3/8" is very easy to bump into the locked position. My 1/2" isn't too bad though. I can see where that wouldn't be an issue with Matco's design, but I've heard the Matco locking mechanisms tend to break. That alone wouldn't stop me buying one, but I hate Matco with a fiery passion...

Is the width not an issue in tight areas? They look a lot wider than most. I'm definitely interested in the locking mechanism though. That, and my German friend told me Gedore was his favorite tool brand. I bought some Gedore pliers. There isn't a whole lot to say about pliers though. They...

Is this the one you're referring to? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002P919PO/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Those look really nice. How do they compare in size to something like a Snap-on? I know the GW 84's are small, but I've never seen one in person.

Thanks! I'll have to try some koken stuff based on what everyone's telling me. I usually don't like low tooth count ratchets, but everyone that's ever used koken's stuff seems to really like it.

Well, I got ripped off. lol. I checked other sites and saw them for about $100. Then I realized they would be shipping from another country and I assumed the shipping would add up to what I paid at KC Tool, which stocks German tools in the US. I thought I was being clever and getting faster...

Thanks! It's still a great tool, despite the limitations of the locking mechanism. I used it a lot when putting the exhaust on my car, and there was nothing I couldn't reach with it.
