lp90 updates?

[lardy1]

I apologize to those that insist on resuscitating old threads for this. But the only user info I've been able to find seem to be from very near the time of introduction.

I'd like to hear from those of you that have had this ratchet in regular service long enough to give an accurate report on the ratchet and what can be expected from it by new purchasers.

The lack of current info leads me to believe that, other than the well documented lever switch problems in the early ones, there hasn't been a whole lot to ***** about. I'm hoping some of you pro's that have put it to the time test might chime in.

i have the 3/8 drive LP90, its gotten its fair use but I prefer flex head ratchets so it doesn't get used as much, I just wanted it. I like it, and like all of my other SK ratchets, its a solid brute, feels good in the hand and the head is relatively small/ low profile. a good buy for only $60 if you need a non flex head ratchet in that size

I have 3 lp90 ratchets, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2. All are virtually bullet proof. I love the ratchets, they are as smooth as silk and I'd buy them again

I own a 3/8 LP90, I wish SK would release other versions of the ratchet. I would buy the rest but I prefer flex heads and soft handles.

I've had not a single issue out of my green lever 3/8 drive. I would pickup more if they ever relased a flex head version.

I think SK screwed up ditching the green direction switch.

The direction switch on my 1/4 model looks like pot metal and seems huge for the ratchet head size. I haven't had any issues with the 1/4 & 3/8 performance wise but, I would like to SK release flex head versions and long fixed head versions.

I agree, the green lever added a little something to the ratchet.

they have both the 1/4" version and 1/2" version available now. I'd love to see flex heads, as well.

Ill 3rd this comment. It made their product stand out among the rest. It could have been the new signature look superseding the tradational roundhead that everyone knows and recognized

I have all three sizes and use the 1/4 and 3/8 daily with no trouble and they work very well and like the thin head for sure would buy more in other configurations for sure maybe at SEMA they will show something new.

All I know is everyones great great grandkids are going to enjoy the extra long flex heads when they come out.
