I would say they are equal to my matco stuff. Maybe a little better actually.

They also have a half cut triple square that is great. Body shop guys really like them.

There is a VIM thread regarding this ratchet:
RLR6
$49.89
3/8" Roto-Lock Ratchet, Locks in 15 positions, 144 tooth, 2.5 degree
Near bottom of page here:
http://www.vimtools.com/store/page26.html#308
Where a couple of responders each stated he "... had lost skin ..." due to the ratchet skipping much too easily.

vim makes tools in usa and abroad. they also make tools for snap on, blue point, cornwell, mac that i know of. keep an eye on their clearance section and you will catch name brands every now and then.
i own their triple squares, mag rails, and some other assorted tools. no complaints.
