Indexable ratchets

[bimmer630]

Is anybody making a nice fine tooth indexing ratchet? 1/4" drive?

I have a proto (mac drive gear) but its a coarse tooth mechanism.. I would love an indexing ratchet with a dual 80 head on it.. Anybody know if snapon is going to make them?

I ordered one through my MAC truck but it hasnt showed up after about a month, my Mac guy says they are back ordered

no 1/4 drive though... those are 72t and very smooth...

I don't have this, but I have the 3/8" and it's decent. And I dislike Matco ratchets

The matco and the Armstrong have the same 72 tooth head. It is the exact same as the old sk tuff1 heads. I have one but it is branded napa.

well it may say matco but it is the same as the armstrong. both are basicly clones of the facom style floating pawl. much like the tuff1 sk ratchets of old. hje has the 1/4 drive version available badged as armstrong.

Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that Matco is rebranding something and selling it for a ridiculously high price? I can't believe it.

Oh wait a minute, yes I can
