I like the sound of my blackhawk 34950r rotator. Its super clicky and just feels cool even though it's not the strongest it's my favorite sounding.

Just went out to listen to the SK roundhead. My vote is for my Williams S-53.

While not my favorite ratchets overall. I'd have to give another vote to SK.

Funny, as soon as I saw the title of the thread I knew it was between my SK 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ratchets, didn't even need to think about it. If you care, the 3/8 wins by a hair.

Although my Williams Superratchet B-52 isn't without its charm. Then my Plomb pear head. Then my cheapie Kobalt pear head (hey, it sounds nice). And then...

Maybe I do need help.

The old 20 tooth rats, with the cogs ringing like a blacksmith pounding steel on his anvil.

Walden worchester ratchet. Sucker is loud. Bet it could strip small bolts before you can click he next tooth.

My least favorite is my cman 84t. They are loud to be so fine.
My fav is my 1/4 sk flex. Silky smooth

I like my S-K, but the sound I really like is my Snap On screwdriver. Do ratchet screwdrivers count?

Snappy patented ratcheting drivers are a pure joy to use and listen to! All other ratcheting screwdriver designs pale and fail in the shadow of the Snappy!

So whats everybody's favorite sounding ratchet?

Thats probably a silly question LOL! But my personal favorite is my 1/4 matco 36 tooth. sounds very clicky yet smooth. I do love the sound of fine tooth's but they come second :thumbup:

72 tooth taiwanese because that's pretty much all I use. Composite mmmm.:dunno:

F80 until I lost it. Now my goto is an 88 Matco which feels awesome as well but it's not the same.

Old Snap-On's like a ferret or 71-10 or 71-15. They sound strong!!!! SK's sound good too.
