kobalt ratchets

[ridestreet]

So, since Lowes has had a few good deals going on, i decided to pick up a few of there smaller ratchet sets. today was the first time that i decided to use them, when i went to use them i noticed that the selector switch seems to be backwards compared to my snap on and craftsman ratchets, has anybody else had a similar issue?

Same with my HF ratchet but eh, whatever. Doesn't bother me, I just won't use it lol.

i do not like ther new ratchets since they swiched just seem to be junkie to me. i have a older kobalt rat it 10 times beter than the new ones

Older and current Proto ratchets select direction different than other makers too. No biggy.

Personally I think the newer Danaher made ratchets are a terrible excuse for a USA made tool, but that's my opinion.

I just bought a 1/4 inch set today, I'll have to see if it's that way. I haven't used it yet, but I like the rachet, it seems nice for being china made.
