    opinions on these 2 cheap rachets

    I have this ratchet from harbor freight. It is not bad at all. Good torque and teeth http://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-professional-flex-head-long-handle-ratchet-62333.html I would not spend that kind of money on a lowes or northern tool one.

    locally I have yet to have anyone properly balance tires without having to go back or having an issue. Sometimes its so much easier depending on car and rim to do yourself. Have thought the same as you ray
