RAF80 and FCF72

[t100]

I don't know if I'm the only one, but the chrome on the FCF72 is kinda not on par with my older ones(when they were new). side by side, the RAF80 has better chrome than the FCF72.
NONE of them stamped "U.S.A."

Maybe the raf80 was treated more like a wrench than a ratchet when it came to the chrome treatment. not sure....

I actually don't like any of the chome on the dual 80 series, I felt the chrome was better on the 936 and older stuff, probably more EPA stuff getting in the way again, and if it was made in china that wouldn't be an issue as they don't care about pollution.

I am not seeing an issue with with chrome on either one but that could just be the pics.

looked blurry on the chrome. but a slight difference maybe. looking at the new and old ratchets on the truck they all look the same.

Definitely the head not the handle. Looks more like satin then reflective chrome.

I agree, it does not look mirror like as with most

I picked up a TF72 and a FCF72 brand new off the truck last week. The chrome on both is very nice. Maybe t100 got a blem?

My only ***** about my new TF72 is when I dropped it in a pan of antifreeze by accident. I took it apart to clean it out and found no seal on the plate.

probably they know I didn't pay full price on them.

I snagged mine for $60 each. Not too shabby!
