I would take the VIM. Cheaper than the others, smaller head than the Wera and i don´t know if you need 5/16" bits ? I guess they´re from the same factory anyway...

The Husky from Home Depot looks similar to the Facom. When I was looking for a bit ratchet, small, compact, and durable were my criteria. I went with the Husky. I have 4 or 5 of them in various tool locations.

I'm looking for something that's fine tooth, the SO model is 36 teeth 12 degree.

That Facom model is 72 teeth 5 degree.

I use the Husky 66604 every day at work. It's a nice little ratchet. It's a fine tooth, 60 maybe? I've thought about one for home, but I don't think I'll use it much. However, that's never stopped me from buying a tool before!

It is imported, but for the qualty and the price I would buy it.

Titan Micro Driver is 60 tooth, but tiny. Claims 43 ft/lbs torque in the Amazon listing. About 12 bucks. I have them and like them.

I don't know about the "Best Bit Ratchet Set" out there but I have the Sunex 38 piece Mini Ratchet bit set Sun 9726 for about $20.00 dollars. Mind you that sucker is very,very small and it is great for small spaces but I think it is made in either China or Taiwan; if that does not bother you then be sure and look at it before you buy any of the other ones out there.

I'm not really looking for the best SET per se, but the best ratchet.
