[arkangel06]

I think I have over 150, but haven't counted in a long time... I would imagine 75 proto/plomb and 75 or so snapon and also misc wera, koken, toptul, and a few various others....

 

[mrholeshot]

Very cool. How did you guys make them?

 

[StupidHippie]

Very cool. How did you guys make them?

cut, weld, grind and polish....the steel used in the PH screwdrivers welds very well, after a careful polish it's tough to see any sign of a weld.

48548 Very nice selection of Snap-On and Plomb. I'm in envy

 

[48548]

Sorry, second pic was supposed to be this one....

Is that the Craftsman open-weave no-slip drawer liner? If so, how do you like it? I just installed it in all my drawers last week and so far it's best I've seen - nothing slips and it stays in place really well, the only down side is that it leaves a checkerboard pattern imprint on the high-polish stuff.

 

[eborcim]

I counted today what I could find, somewhere around 92 ratchets right now. Pics show 1/4 drives over 3/8, other pic is 1/2 drives and the only 3/4 drive. Everything is loosely organized into manufacturer/style.

 

[Even 11]

Lets just say more than I need but less than I want. My GF was in the garage with me the other day and asked why I don't have a tool box for just ratchets.

Working, I have 1 1" drive, 2 3/4" drive, 2 or 3 1/2" drive and 2 each of 3/8" and 1/4". Also a bucket of broken ones to possibly fix someday.

 

[Griff93]

I don't want to count them all.....

 

[King Bojack]

I'm a loser and only have like 5 rats. Only one of them is a good 1/2''. The rest are 3/8 and 1/4. All asian ratchets too.

 

[Keep]

I own a lot more since finding this website, most people on this website have me beat.

HAHAHA This is so true. I was tooling along happy with my craftsman, some round head, some raised panel. Then I found this site, and now I think I am sitting at 20. 20 fricken ratchets for a hobbyist.

1 - Thorsen
5 - Wright
14 - craftsman (I am still trying to figure out how the hell I got 14 craftsman) I know 6 of them came in set. 5 are the rhft that someone on here pointed out as being dis-continued. Other 3 I have no clue.

How many ratchets do you own ?

How many do you own and what is your favorite or go-to ratchet for the work you do most often ?

I own 16.

My (new) go to is the HF heavy duty composite ratchet

http://www.harborfreight.com/mercha...-inch-heavy-duty-composite-ratchet-66314.html

I know, it isn't pedigreed, but it is smooth as silk and comfortable.

I'm not a pro wrench so I don't use it all day every day, but for the $10 I dropped on it, it's been one of the best buys ever.

Before I bought it, my favorite was a Klein ratchet that came in a set I bought back in 1982. Still have it, still like it

 

[countryroad82]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

My last count was 19, my go to is my F80 or other Snappys, before that it was this http://performancetool.com/item.aspx and I still use it from time to time. Great brand of tools for the price I think, yes its Tiwanese but they have a good feel and perform great.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

Off the top of my head, I'm guessing about 14. I'd have to actually count to be sure.

 

[north]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

1/4" - 6
3/8" - 22
1/2" - 7

Need more ratchets.

 

[powertrip]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

About 38. Some duplicates. My favorite is cman premium 1/4. I have to many and its just a hobby for me.

 

[4x4gearhead]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

Last I counted between my "home set" which is now at work due to my lack of garage situation at the moment, and my work tools,I had 42 ratchets. Is this unneccesary? perhaps, but it makes me happy ok?

 

[RBailey]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

1/4 = 1
3/8 = 5
1/2 = 3
Favourite is 3/8 quick releast SO

I don't collect, its just nice to have a few so I don't have to keep changing sockets on and off.

As a sub question to this topic
HOW MANY DO YOU USE AT ONE TIME ?

 

[472scout]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

Not enough.

 

[wchamberlain]

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

About 25, mostly Matco, some Snap On, Mac and Gearwrench
