Gearwrench Ratchets

[unclethumbtack]

I was looking at the gearwrench ratchets (81206) over at amazon.com http://tinyurl.com/7dxgfd anybody have any experience with these. I am deciding between these and the thin profile Cmans.

They are the same, just the GW look more like snap on.

Search the threads and you'll find pictures of Gearwrench, Matco, and Craftsman 60 tooth ratchets disassembled. The only real difference is the quick release found on the Craftsman and the country of origin. Even the sealing o rings were the same color. Ratchets are personal choices and are hard to make without holding the tool seeing if you like tthe balance, feel, length, handle shape, etc. I have and like the Gearwrench ratchets. They're a little longer. Their thin heads offer improved access, and I like the fine 60 tooth action. If they were US made, I think they would be perfect.

I just replaced all my raised panel ones with Gearwrench. I played with C-man thin prof. and Gearwrench both, and liked the Gearwrench better because of handle shape and length, and overall feel. I got off of Amazon the four peice swivel head set and three piece straight head set and have been very pleased. So pleased that I have purchased some other Gearwrench products like the X-pliers; very happy with those as well.

If you ordered the set with the comfort grip handles, make sure the handles are put on in the correct orientation and not installed 180 degrees out. The finger indentation should be facing down with the GearWrench brand logo facing up.
