Nepros Baby Ratchets

[Alex400Gray]

I finally pulled the trigger on trying out some high end Japanese ratchets. I didn’t have any stubby ratchets til now. I have to say these feel amazing. The ratcheting mechanism is even quieter than my snap on ratchets. I think these are my new favorites!

Now I just need to find one of the blue ion (iron?) finished ratchets from them.

and yep, the blue iP is the ****. jewelry for men (i say this as a guy who has never worn jewelry).

still trying to expand my collection, but it's very slow going.

Hey, if you were to wear on of those stubbies around your neck on a gold chain - who knows what kind of lady might talk to you?

It's a wife defense strategy. She makes snarky comments about your tools, and you tell her they are jewelry. She understands the concept of "jewelry"

if SnapOn is, then the Nepros is too - and the finish is better than the crummy SnapOn junk

I would say so. Finish and the ratcheting action are better than snap on. Ko-Ken z series are fantastic Japanese tools as well. Not quite as expensive as nepros.

How do they hold onto the socket? I’ve heard there can be play with some brands

I haven’t had any issues. Comparable to other tool truck brands
