I am very happy with new age pro. Better dimensions and thicker steel. Keep an eye out for Costco they have great deals. Very happy with them.

Man I had to read that to see if it was something I posted. :). Exactly same here I have a Craftsman 3/8” air ratchet and never use it. Especially because my home compressor, a 15 year old Craftsman is loud and annoying. If I was in a shop with hard air lines and a compressor room for noise I...

They are nice these are the 80th anniversary set USA Made. I think might be 72 tooth. But so far the Snap On feel so much smoother and significantly finer tooth count than all of them.

Sure I could see that but nothing I’m worried about.

Got this awesome drawer container for free from a local gem store changing over to a new product. Manager says she has 5 more I can have I told her I’d like to have just one more. It’s 20”x16” for scale.

So many Snap On vs the world threads going on right now so a little hesitant to post. Got my new SO ratchets today. I got standard length 3/8” and 1/4” as well as flex 3/8” and 1/4”. My 1/2” existing tools will be fine. I’ll just say I’m very happy with my purchase. I think I got a killer...

Agree for sure. Same goes for getting the best price, you need to find the right audience.

Quick story, a very good friend of mine and I grew up wrenching on our cars he was into it a lot more than I was but both of us always agreed that Craftsman was great and Snap On was a rip off. About 5 years ago he decided to move into the trades full-time as a full-time mechanic when he...

This! Everything sells when priced correctly.

Other than the combo wrench I left under the hood that I found down the steeet after searching for it? I actually did find a snap on 3/8” ratchet. It was on the side of the freeway entrance in the median on a rainy day. 99% of the time I could have never grabbed it but it was raining and...

I have one 3/4” socket and a half to 3/4” adapter. Seemed to work fine but cranked on it. Used it to attach a pitman arm.

I have landed on a few snap on ratchets which I should have tomorrow. I decided to go with just 1/4” and 3/8” so I picked up the f80, t72, ff8 and tf72. So dual 80 in standard and flex all chrome handles. Should more than meet my needs. Although I can’t wait to see them next to the GW flex...

I just posted a “recommend a ratchet” thread this week. I was originally looking at a 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” combo. I decided to just get 1/4” and 3/8” because with 1/2” the stuff I have works well and things like smoothness and refinement don’t matter as much with a bigger ratchet. I actually...

Interesting I’ll have to compare. Thanks for the heads up to both of you.

The gear wrench are nice but very big and not 120xp they are the very first generation I bought them over 10 years ago. They are 81012. I am guessing 84 tooth and like I said they are nice but very big.

Maglite donversion I too have several mag lights. I think a two D and a four D and some AA types. As someone said above I have a fondness for the company and the brand but these lights just don’t compete in any way with my Surefire lights! Surefire is a whole new level of compact and bright...

I was thinking the same thing! It’s looking like SK LP90 or SO Dual 80 at this point. I see the f80 and t72 together for $149 on eBay.

Appreciate all the comments so far. Is eBay the best place for a non-professional to buy snapon? I bought a digital torque wrench from snapon’s website a few years ago but that’s the extent of it.

I think I said smooth and not flex. By smooth I meant chrome round handle. Standard length and tooth count not as important. I’m thinking to try the f80.

I have several Craftsman ratchets from the most basic to the 80th anniversary fully polished. I also have the Gearwrench flex ratchet four pack from severe years ago. The heads are huge and I don’t love flex heads. I’d like a couple newer ratchets please suggest what I should look at...
