How many "How Many Ratchets Do You Own" threads are there ?
I count 3 so far.

Just like ratchets, you can never have enough of them. Why stop at one, lol.

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

Wow!!! I was expecting number in the 20-30 on the high side.
I clearly don't have enoughbetwenn the main box, the house set and the odd balls that are never used I would guess 15ish. Most being 3/8 with a couple 1/4 and 3 or 4 half inch. Mostly c-man.

When there are more threads than you have ratchets, then we've got a problem.

What do you think about the mandatory number of ratchets for each GJ member?
10, 20?

 

[franzdom]

More than 3

It would screw with my OCD and interfere with my quest for World Ratchet **********.

How many ratchets do you own ?

I think I have 16 at work, mostly because the ones that don't see a lot of use get taken home. I probably have 30 or so at home and possibly a dozen or so stashed in my house.

I actually just got a Wright 1/2" drive that I plan on making a daily user.

I still plan on buying one of the new SK ratchets.

I think I had 10 when I joined the GJ, so...yeah

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

Ive got 17 at work. I have more at home. The nice ratchets i.e truck brands are all at work , oddball brands at home. Surprisingly as a flat rate tech , ratchets just dont get used as much as you think. Most of the time its impact wrenches , air or cordless ratchets etc. That said I couldnt do without my ratchets , just love them. Something soothing about using a nice ratchet to turn a fastener.

 

[2oolhound]

I have 35 but have my sites on a couple others.

 

[pi_guy]

Is this enough?

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

Is this enough?

No...

 

[pi_guy]

No...

Seems to fill my needs.

Plus I have other holes to fill, blind hole puller is next on the list along with the small slide hammer set..

 

[VintageOkieDriver]

I think many of us on here are afflicted with the need versus want gene. I know I am. I find it hard to resist "great finds" at estate sales when I don't need it and certainly won't use it. Someday I am going to reverse this trend and start selling! Oh and the purchases lead to shop expansions and more tool boxes!

However, there is another thread with the "same title" which you do have posts in.

https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72721

I will be merging that thread into this one. So this thread will be 3 threads merged into one.

Re: How many ratchets do you own ?

I haven't counted, but I figure maybe somewhere around 30?

Favorite has to be a little stubby someone made from a regular 3/8" Thoreson.

Here's an older pic of most...

Three threads have been merged into one thread now.


No posts have been deleted in doing so except my own that I used to mark the threads for merging.

I have several ratchets from different makers (craftsman, master craft, Pittsburgh , kobalt ect... )but I just wished they would halfway work. I have worn them down and they slip a lot- very frustrating.

I need new ones

 

[shop guy]

I have 5.

1/4" Stanley
3/8" Stanley
3/8" and 1/2" old Van Belknap torque wrench that I use as longer ratchets since I already own other newer TW's.
And a 1/2" Mastercraft round head.

I definitely can't compete with others but it gets the job done for me.

At work we have a lot more various different sizes and brands in a community box, but never bothered to count.




I guess I should head out and grab another

Give it time, you've only been here a few months. This place will cause you to go out and buy more tools, a bigger tool box and want a bigger garage. It happens to us all.

 

[pl_silverado]

36 in the tool box



5 in the tool cart



8 in the truck box


So 49, all Snapon. There's some craftsman **** floating around too, so over 50 for sure.

Mostly dual 80's, probably 10 936 series ratchets.

 

[Qualitytools]

I have a mixture of Craftsman, Stanley, Facom, Cornwell, Wera and Harbor Freight.

 

[speed bump]

No clue how many ratchets I own. There is probably 7 in my truck tool box and 6 in my tool cart. Beyond that I have a lot in my main tool box, a couple in the house, and some more in other vehicles. Next time I'm feeling bored I will pull them out and start giving them to family members.

 

[Logante]

Have 1 Matco and six snap on ratchets. Three blue point and a few off brands. My goal is to only have snap on ratchets and is there ever enough??

Every one of those brands you mentioned should be able to be exchanged at the store... If it's a USA craftsman you can probably find a rebuild kit on eBay.
