Dual 80 Pros & Cons

Take some pics; I haven't seen the guts before! We could use a little, "autopsy" if you would oblige!

The daul 80s are not balanced like past Snap On ratchets, also the head is too big. They feel top heavy.

I've only got a 3/8 locking flex head but it's butter smooth and strong. My only complaint is that I can't open it up. I don't really need to, but I want to see inside. It drives me crazy.

i have two 1/4 THLF72 AND TF72 THE LONGER ONE I HAVE BROKEN THE SNAP ON GUY FIXED IT . I DO NOT SE A MADE IN STAMP ANYWHERE .I WILL ASK THE SNAP ON DEALER WHEN I SEE HIM.

For me, the T72 is awfully small. I know that can be a good feature, but for me there's just not much to hold on to. It's short, too. I'm used to the 60 tooth Danaher ratchets and the RHFT ratchets. It has come in handy a few times in really cramped spots, but I generally reach for the other 1/4" ratchets first.

Pros: smooth ratcheting, great feel, ease of replacement if needed, detent ball,

Cons: On my fourth SHLF80 due to chrome peeling on the heads and at the flex joint, cost, lack of stamp

I currently own the FLF80. But honestly my craftsman ergo flex head ratchet w/black handle feels better/more natural.
