Last Best Tool seems pretty honest to me

I’ve tried the hard handles but they just seem an afterthought- the square profile means they are only comfortable to me in four positions. I haven’t tried the new Cynergy/ 100 tooth hard handles (and probably unlikely to as I got rid of the two new 100 tooth ratchets I had as didn’t get on with...
