90 Tooth Duralast Sealed Ratchets

[DSLTRK]

Just saw these at Autozone, look very similar to the Craftsman Premium Series Rats.

I played around with the 1/2'' for a bit, and am impressed. Very low drag and the handle is very comfortable. Not really liking the reverse lever, but it feels solid. COO is Taiwan.

I believe these are now using the two lever pawls (like Proto) instead of the single pawl like the previous units.

On another note, Autozone seems to be replacing the tried and true 36 tooth ratchets with the intro of 72 tooth units. I WAS NOT impressed with these. The finish quality is not the same and the reverse lever is very loose in the head. I'd bet it's a different manufacturer.

There is now a 1/2" flex head in the new 72 tooth design, but IMO, I wouldn't buy one for the reasons listed above.

They do look very nice. Amazing what Tiawan is putting out nowadays, although the 120 Gearwrench taught us that.

$24.99 for the 1/2". I didn't see a version in the other drives.

These aren't on the website yet.

Not many, just the 1/2" and 3/8" stubby.

The 1/4" flex and 3/8 regular were these new 72 tooth versions, along with the long 1/2'' flex.
