How do your ratchets sleep?

[Mike83]

On their back or on their side?

I know this is a stupid question - I think it is funny that some people keep their ratchet stored facing down so that Snap-on faces up

Me - I just plop em in the drawer on their back.

 

[Diesel-Mech]

Drive side up for most of mine.

 

[autoace]

drive side up!

 

[back2class]

They spoon. Sometimes the dontr sleep and thats where sockets come from.

Drive side up even in the pallets in the road box.

 

[justinmc]

drive side up! One of the techs at work has all his hanging on magnetic racks/bars lining the inside of the hutch on top of his box. Kinda cool and makes for quick access as well as keeping ratchets out of the drawer.

 

[J.A.F.E.]

Usually drive side up. I do, however, turn them off when not in use.

 

[Merkava_4]

Drive side up with the ball retainer pointing towards the 9:00 o'clock position. Switch ON.

 

[rsanter]

on their backs (drive side up) lined up 69 with one another.

I dont want them to get lonely when they are not being used

[Art From De Leon]

Drive side up, except for my the ones with the bent handles, they lie on their sides with the drive facing the front of the drawer.

 

[skeletonizer]

All jammed in a big **** ball in my road box. Some on their backs, some on the side, some face down.

Never the same way twice. Variety is the spice of life.

Wooo Hooo! I'm gonna get me some sockets!

Would it be wrong to put an old Plomb with a new CMan?

 

[nate379]

Whichever way they end up when I toss them in the box.

 

[RRmech]

Drive side up.....no wet dreams as yet?

Drive side facing up in order from 1/4, 3/8 to 1/2. All of the heads have to sleep on a blue shop pillow so the RLL does not leak out all over the drawer liner.

Drive side up with the ball retainer pointing towards the 9:00 o'clock position. Switch ON.

Merk, the medical community has a term for folks like you: Obsessive Compulsive...

PS: My rat's sleep on their backs...

 

[Weedwaka]

In my home box , logo up for my torque wrenches and on their sides for regular ratchets.

At work, tossed somewhere on my cart lol.

 

[speed bump]

On their sides.

 

[M5 LiTE]

On their sides as well - no RLL seepage either - well VERY little it just keeps the drive glistening...

1/2 drawer

And who are these people?!

 

[snapmom]

Mine keep saying, "Mommy can we have a new brother or sister". Hubby keeps saying, "we can't afford anymore". I keep saying "one more won't hurt"

I suppose if you husband was a junkie like the rest of us here you would truely be in a Co-Dependant relationship!!!

P.S. Mine sleep with the plug up and always turned "OFF"!!

[Canadian Charlie]

Mine sleep "drive up"

 

[DavidtheDuke]

on their side so they can fit in my damn overloaded cart

 

[Mike83]

And who are these people?!

They know who they are.

 

[bmxr4life87]

mine spoon piggyback

 

[Rickster]

Mine are all stored chronologically according to purchase in a counter clockwise position starting at 12 noon and with the selector and oriontation in the drawer in the exact position that they were in when I first layed eyes on them, and no one ratchet can ever touch another ratchet or the sides of the drawer.

 

[jay50]

Snap on F80 lays on its side, snuggled up against the Gearwrench 3/8. I think the F80 is pregnant and will be providing me with some half-breed 1/4 ratchets in the next few weeks.

 

[arkangel06]

mine sleep drive side up

 

[speed bump]

A picture to drive someone mad i'm sure

 

[senlow]

Mine aren't allowed to sleep. They may rest, but must always be ready to go to work at a moment's notice.

Moose am I seeing a new "Moose Snap on Custom" breaker bar in that last pic?First time I've seen a bent handle breaker bar!

I took the ratchet head off it to put on a long 3/8" breaker bar (with orange handle) to make a long flexd head. The bent handle just needs a new plastic handle put on, as the one on it is too big and i'll find a ratchet head to put on it. I've yet to use it as a breaker bar, but it might do the job some time.

God, I hope you're kidding!

Yes, just kidding!

Yeah, I've got the ratchet **** going in my tool box too. All my sockets and drive tools are in the top of my Craftsman box, under the lid. There's a couple of divided partitions up there: Extensions on the left, sockets in the middle, breaker bar and speed handles in the middle/back, ratchet **** on the right side. Though they all face the same way--handle toward me.

[Autoguy]

Believe it or not sometimes in my bedroom especially SO.

 

[onesickastre]

With snap on logo facing up, and switch turned to off of course....
