I'm putting together a set of tools for my truck. For the most part, I'm just scraping together extras I have lying around; however, I need a set of ratchets. All my other stuff is craftsman so I went to Lowe's because I know they carry craftsman hand tools now. I don't need a whole set with a bunch of extra sockets so I was looking through the individual ratchets and one in particular jumped out at me. It was a 1/2 inch drive, 72 tooth "mini head" ratchet. It's not the typical pear head ratchet and it's not the SBD 120 tooth ratchet. It actually seemed like the best of both. The head is smaller in width than the pear head but significantly thinner in profile than the dual pawl 120 tooth. I played with it in my hands and it felt so perfect and ergonomic. The selector lever was accessible and smooth and the quick release was butter smooth as well. On top of everything else, it is serviceable via 2 torx screws on the front side which to me is better than the snap ring on the pear head ratchets.
Anyhow, I decided I like it so I went to grab the 1/4 in version and the 3/8 version only I couldn't find it in 3/8. I looked everywhere but it just wasn't on the shelf and there was no sign that it had been. I whipped out my phone and started searching to see if I could find it online but I couldn't find evidence anywhere on the internet that the 3/8 version exists. I was super bummed because at this point I decided I loved this series of ratchets and wanted the full set.
Anyhow, I'm appealing to anyone who has any information regarding this series of ratchets and whether they make or will in the future make a 3/8 version of this ratchet.
The model number for the half inch is CMMT99431 and the model number for the 1/4 inch is CMMT99423. According to the packaging they are made in Taiwan.
Thanks in advance for the help
