Matco Virgin: What's Their Best Tool?

[chrislehr]

I just got a SWEET 3//8 locking ratchet.

i cant belive no one has mentioned that matco ratchets are the same as craftsman other then the quik release on craftsman

The gear and pawl are similar but the ratchet body's are completely different.

I would love to see a profile shot of this combo...I like thin.

As you requested.

The Left image in both photos is a Snap On Dual 80 Ratchet and a standard 14mm Snap On Socket.

The Right image in both photos is a Matco 60 tooth ratchet with a Mac Tools Super Short 14mm socket.

Quite a bit of difference between heights, but sometimes tight clearances exists on some cars.

Hope this works for you.

I also have a 3/8 air drill ,I use the snot out of it and had it for 10 or so years, also like most others Matco makes a fine ratchet, I prefer them to my snap on by far.
