    Are Pittsburg ratchets comparable in quality and durability to Tekton?

    I don't know much about Pittsburgh ratchets. Most of my ratchets are Tekton, and I have a few Gearwrench ones. But I've always seen good reviews on forums, websites, and even on YouTube about these Pittsburgh ratchets. So, what would be a realistic opinion—one that isn't biased against the brand...

    Question about a 18 in flex head ratchet

    OK, guys, I don't want to leave this hanging. I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, advice, and comments. I'll definitely take some ideas from all this, but it'll have to wait because yesterday, while eating pork rinds, I messed up a tooth and a crown came loose. So the ratchet will...

    Question about a 18 in flex head ratchet

    I also have a 2015 Tacoma. I’ve installed and removed several suspension systems and lift kits. In the end, I left it almost stock and sold all the parts. Is the HF ratchet you have a Pittsburgh model? They have good prices, and it might be worth it for occasional use. Does it come with a...

    Question about a 18 in flex head ratchet

    Honestly, I don't know if I'll need a ratchet like the one I asked about. I'm not a mechanic, and I don't know **** about cars. But for years I've done 90% of my own repairs because I'm not afraid to tackle them, and now with YouTube tutorials, it's easier than it was back in 2000. I've replaced...

    Question about a 18 in flex head ratchet

    Do you use the breaker bar more than the 18-inch ratchet? That’s my problem. For the work I do, I don’t want to buy stuff just for the sake of it! I don’t have the space or the money. I just want to have what a guy in my situation needs to make the job easier, faster, and less physically...

    In 3/8”, I have a 12“ Gearwrench Flex and a standard 18” Tekton.

    Question about a 18 in flex head ratchet

    To me, it doesn't make sense to overuse 3/8“ ratchets when there are 1/2” ratchets available. I already have 1/2“ impact sockets for my 1/2” and 3/8“ impact wrenches. That's why I've basically never needed a 1/2” flexible-head ratchet. But I was wondering if it might be useful to have one, in...
