Why did you go for the industrial finish???? The chrome ones work so much smoother. The chrome reduces the friction between your hand and the tool. Reduced friction means less effort holding it in your hand.

The price ain't bad on those ratchets.


As far as finish, that's personal preference. I will say this... my new F80 has perhaps this nicest, smoothest chrome finish I have ever seen that wasn't on a bike. Are all the F80s that smooth?

$10.00 cheaper is less friction in my pocket!!! lol

I have 3 right now the FLF80 F80 and FHL80 and they are all perfect!!

wow they didn't even update the description.... i have the t72 i bought last week, for some reason it binds up when i press down on the handle and turn, i think i got a dud, can anyone tell me if theirs does this too?

Especially if you DON'T buy one from sunnystorm.

You mean it doesn't ratchet at all, or just sometimes?

It ratchets fine normally, but say i put it on a extension and kinda apply more pressure towards the end of the handle in a downward fastion and turn it binds up, i tried to tighten the screws and same deal, i have one of the old 36 tooth ones and this does not happen

I got one of those TL72 off Ebay new for $56, Just got it today. The extra handle length looks like it will come in handy. It feels so much lighter than any other 1/4" ratchet I have. Only thing the gearing seems kinda corse for a 1/4" but it may smooth out with a little use.

I like the industrial finish very nice.

Can't wait until it delivers!!!
