Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Pro Ratchets

I have a few of the flexheads, use them all the time, the selector isnt the best, but i have more than got my moneys worth out of them

I have them and the only real downside with them is that they easily go into neutral. It probably comes down to the 2 pawl design that comes with a lot of these Made in Taiwan ratchets or that I have been beating on mine pretty hard. Otherwise, I don't see any reason to upgrade to something better.

I've been buying a number of their ratchets over the past month or so. The composite handled ones, on sale or with a coupon, cost less than a lunch out .... that's a pretty good value. I reach for their low profile (metal handle) ratchet more often.

The selector on my 1/4 flex jammed up and wouldn't budge relatively quick. The replacement hasnt had much use as I also picked up a Snap-On and use it mostly now. The 3/8" flex has held up well, except the head is floppy instantly. Worth the cheap price of admission for sure.

Were these always made in China?

Pretty sure they’ve been Taiwan until now. I wonder if they have multiple SKUs, like the 1/2 Pittsburg impacts.

Edit: they do have two. 62328 and 64937. I wonder if 64937 is still available and made in Taiwan.

The flex ones were still made in Taiwan, just the regular ones I noticed made in China
