24 teeth is not a problem for me most of the time. My Koken ratchet is so smooth and has so little backdrag that I prefer it to my Snap On F80 much of the time. I think it's a joy to use and a great value.
The old American-made ones were great but the quality has really suffered since they moved production to Mexico. I bought a few and they collect dust compared to the older American files I've bought secondhand.
