He's not interested in a comfort grip/rubber handle. I'll pass him this list. Thanks for the replies everyone.

FWIW, a little off the beaten path - Tone RH4H. I’m just a diy’er, but have a rebrand of that in 3/8” which I’m impressed with. Tone is a Japanese brand, although that ratchet is Taiwan.

(I believe Powerbuilt offers some models that are a rebrand of that model. Look for the ones with that head / push button style).

I really like the handles on Gray.

I really like the handles on Gray.

Gray ratchets have my favorite handles, the raised ring makes them easy to balance in many different hand positions.

Powerbuilt 649970 - Same as Tone, but handle turned 90 degrees.

I love these ratchets and have almost every size and style. Quality Taiwan construction.

Super small heads, smooth 72 tooth action, quick release, and a bargain at their price.

Thanks for the heads up. Just purchased a couple items.

On a lark, I bought Wera in all three drive sizes. Really like them.

Those Nepros sure are **** ratchets, going to have to pick up a couple at some point.

Nepros NBR490L 15" long is $112 on Amazon. Good price for a great ratchet.

I don’t see this promotion on Zoro.

Is it a special coupon? (I didn’t receive one)

Now the question is: 10” or 15” ratchet?

He ended up going with the three piece Tekton set SRH91100.

If I needed a 1/2" ratchet, this is the beast I would get. Wera Koloss.

I really liked it when I first saw it but then egain its a whole prosejure.
My choice for something like this would be the hazet 916hplg.Also, unlike wera, made in Germany
