    Wow, I love this ratchet

    I went from craftsman RP ratchets to Kobalts and noticed an immediate difference in back drag. Then I bought all 3 Armstrong locking flex heads this year and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The Armstrong's are my favorite ratchet and I use Snap On at work...

    Carlyle 1/4" Drive Locking Flex Review

    Under The Microscope: Flush cutter comparison

    I use the radio shack ones exclusively on zip ties, and even on the plastic, they are pretty dull after a couple years of use. I'm looking for new ones and these Tronex look awesome, but may be overkill for just plastic zip ties.
