Well Mr. 3baygarage, I believe you win. lol. I thought I was bad with 20. I'm not done acquiring though.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good personality. Lol

The problem is that I used a debit card. I tried to dispute it. I even tried to flag the third hold they've put on my account as fraudulent, since it wasn't authorized, and they haven't sent anything, but I wasn't even able to do that. With a debit card, someone could draft up to $1500 per...

I just really like ratchets, man. I know it's weird, but it's true. At least it's not toasters or something. Lol

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid it, but I canceled it today. It's worth the peace of mind.

Update (June 25th): While on the phone with their rep this afternoon, they were trying to refund me for the second tool Instead of a refund, there is now a hold on my account for another $224. Supposedly, they haven't drafted my account, but we'll see.

Is that something Snap-on is known for? I definitely noticed a big difference between my 1/2" and 3/8", but I assumed it was due to difference in models.

My car is a corvette. I would consider a Japanese car if they also made a cheap, plastic rocket. lol

Yeah, my 3/8" is very easy to bump into the locked position. My 1/2" isn't too bad though. I can see where that wouldn't be an issue with Matco's design, but I've heard the Matco locking mechanisms tend to break. That alone wouldn't stop me buying one, but I hate Matco with a fiery passion...

Is the width not an issue in tight areas? They look a lot wider than most. I'm definitely interested in the locking mechanism though. That, and my German friend told me Gedore was his favorite tool brand. I bought some Gedore pliers. There isn't a whole lot to say about pliers though. They...

Is this the one you're referring to? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002P919PO/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Those look really nice. How do they compare in size to something like a Snap-on? I know the GW 84's are small, but I've never seen one in person.

Thanks! I'll have to try some koken stuff based on what everyone's telling me. I usually don't like low tooth count ratchets, but everyone that's ever used koken's stuff seems to really like it.

Well, I got ripped off. lol. I checked other sites and saw them for about $100. Then I realized they would be shipping from another country and I assumed the shipping would add up to what I paid at KC Tool, which stocks German tools in the US. I thought I was being clever and getting faster...

Thanks! It's still a great tool, despite the limitations of the locking mechanism. I used it a lot when putting the exhaust on my car, and there was nothing I couldn't reach with it.

Yeah, my Snap-on's feel a bit more crude than the Stahlwille and Nepros as well. I think I saw the Gedore dial-lock when I was looking at German ratchets. I attached a picture of what I think you're referring to. Is that the mechanism?

Thanks! They've all made working on my car easier.

I was recently looking for comparisons between Snap-on, Stahlwille, and Nepros ratchets, since they're (arguably), the best brands of ratchet from the US, Germany, and Japan. I couldn't find a comparison of them, so being a bit obsessed with ratchets, I bought one of each. I figured I'd make a...

Yeah, I think Ingersoll runs the show with pneumatic tools. With that said, I've had to work with them in the past, and some of my contacts there (definitely not all), were assholes. I don't hold that against the company, but I can't stand the thought of having to see that logo in my happy...

I suppose I would if broke one. I also like the fast shipping. In general though, I just like to do business with companies that are supportive when you need them to be.
