    SK vs SK with diamond

    I have a couple of SK ratchets and they look the same but one just says S-K and the other has the S-K but has the diamond around out. It looks like S-K and the Diamond took Co. were together at one point but is the make of the ratchet the same? Is one better than the other? I have been...

    KAL 1249 3/8 ratchet

    After cleaning all the gunk out of this ratchet, not the teeth click a little bit too far and the reversing mechanism gets stuck. I can look at it and tell the little spring that puts pressure on the foot is notched and incredibly worn. Long story short is it dont work any more. This ratchet is...

    Proto J5252ABL

    Well i got the ratchet last night. Very nice. I kinda wish the reversing mechanism was a little bit lower profile but it feels like a solid ratchet.

    new Williams 1/4 in ratchet

    i believe it is the 30001. It was listed at 7.99 with 8 dollars shipping so he basically knocked off 4 dollars for shipping. Maybe ill just pass on it. I would rather have a nice williams or proto anyhow.

    I just bought the 1/2 in drive one that i read a little about and people seem to like. the guy says he will throw in the 1/4 one for 12 dollars total. realize this is the new one and not a vintage Williams. Any thoughts on this. I cant find a lot of info on it.

    Best lube for ratchets????

    I just cleaned 4 of my ratchets out last night and relubed them. I only do this about every two years. Here in NC it is fairly important to lube your tools as it gets very humid all summer long. That said, i used 3M oil and have not heard anyone mention it on here. It does seem a little light...

    Proto J5252ABL

    Not too concerned about the 90 teeth, Stanleys website confirms the 4 degree ratcheting angle so it should be fine enough. How do you get italian made ones? Are they a different number or something? Hopefully this one is a decent one. Im getting tires of cheap built ratchets.
