Mac axis 90 tooth ratchets

[Sugarfryz]

I have this 18inch snap on 3/8 ratchet that I love, but sadly they dont make a flex head. I don't have nor have I ever had a Mac guy at work or any other place before. So I have no experience with their tools, I see they make this 18in 90 tooth flex head ratchet and I'm interested because I always think at work I wish this was a flex head with my snap on ratchet. I'm sure I could track down a Mac guy if I really wanted to

I don't have the 18in one but i got the sorter mac axis 3/8 flex. I just picked it up so i haven't really gotten to use it yet. I don't like the comfort grip on it as much as my snap on ratchets. I like the finish better then my snap-ons and the mechanism seems a little better then my snap-on ratchets.

Mac posted a ratchet trade in promotion on their Instagram page a few days ago. I'm going to track down my local guy to see what it's all about. Last time we spoke he quoted me $95 for the 13" 3/8 flex ratchet (XR1390FK).

I have that 18" one and most of the other versions released. They are very nice and they have held up with no issues.

I have the 3/8" ratchet, I still think that the SnapOn is smoother. The flex head becomes floppy way too quick. I have had to remove the head at least three times to bend the wave washer to add more tension. I have only had the ratchet for about 6 months, it's a nice ratchet but if someone wanted to trade me for a dual 80 I would be all over it.
