New Harbor Freight composite ratchets

[Scimmia]

Just noticed this page: http://www.harborfreight.com/see_new_products.html

I notice that they list not only the 3/8" long handle ratchet that's been out a while, but a 1/4" and 1/2" version of the same. Anyone seen them yet? All long handle? Pricing?

I saw them the other day, they were 15 or 20 bucks. They looked pretty useful but i dont "need" them, i still have the older style doing a good job.

Man that chrome one with the comfort grip looks familiar!

Well ****....If I would have known they were gonna have the composites in all sizes of long handle version I wouldnt have just bought the new fixed head Lo Profile ratchets. The original composite handled ratchets were just to short for automotive use.

Man that 72" box is getting nicer and nicer all the time. Looks like they revised it some again.

It is a nice layout, I really would have preferred that they left off that gaudy looking silver trim on the face of it. I popped it off at the store and it has a retention rail that is drilled and riveted on the face of the box The 44 incher doesnt have that ugly trim

I was at my local store last night and did not see these. I don't need them but IF they are heap enough with the coupon ill grab both 3/8 and 1/2in. Wish they made a long handle version like my matco I just sold

Has anyone seen the straight handle composite in 1/2 or 1/4 drive?

i have all 3 of the composites they are great ratchets, but a pain trying to clean them

I have all the other new HF ratchets.

Just how many ratchets can one person have?

What is this 'need' you speak of?

At last count I had 26, but I'm still waiting for my local HF to get the 1/4" and 1/2" composites to go with my 3/8", you gotta have the whole set you know.

Yep. They look just like the Gearwrench ratchets I got when Sears was blowing them out.

If I had any need for them, I'd buy their ratchets...

Wait, what am I saying? Who has need, I want! I hunger! I...have most of them already actually. I would like the composites for the garage when it gets cold - a lot easier on the hands than chrome when it's chilly.

Has anyone started seeing the new style composite ratchets in 1/4" and 1/2" at their local HF yet? My local store still only has the 3/8", and last I searched on their site the part #'s still aren't showing up yet.

I have the 3/8" too and have no complaints. I've been waiting for the 1/4" and 1/2" for a while now. I wonder what the hold up is?

same. they did the samething with the non-flex lowpro ratchets that came out. i even asked HF about it. they said just waiting to get them in to send them out to there stores. maybe its the samething with these.

newest mailer didn't have the 1/4" and 1/2" teardrop composites listed at all

What surprised me most is that they are calling Snap-On out by name.....

My local store didn't have them yesterday either. I have the original black and grey composite ratchets in all 3 sizes and I also have the newer long handled black and red 3/8 composite ratchet and I have been waiting for the 1/4 and 1/2 for a while now.

I remember seeing one of the Folding shelfs laying In the back of a store before they came out officially and I should have bought one when I originally seen it. I remember calling the store the next day and they had no idea what I was talking about. Couldn't find them anywhere on there website and then one day they were in there store and all over there website and In there flyers.

Hopefully these new ratchets start showing up sooner than later
