Ratchet and drive tool pics

[billymade]

Damn, now that is a real ratchet! What do you use it for? To beat off the thieves, a personal weapon or some other "high torque" situation?

Are you really going to make me take pictures of my proto and plomb stuff to compete with you snap on guys? I guess I know what I will be doing tonight when I get home.....

Krusty-
Is that a Danaher ratchet? It looks like the craftsman thin profile, but with a different handle.

Well you go, try this link and as for a reference I put two plomb 1/4(my bad not 1/2) drives and the 1 inch male plugs in the pictures, sorry to send you to photo bucket. Also I forget to get my 4 snap on speed wrenches, but it is a start.

Thanks for the picts. It looks like you linked the images twice. Those smaller ratchets cannot be 1/2" drive

Wow you have the line of plomb ratchets covered with that collection. Seems like you have them all, very nice.

 

[48548]

Now I do like the handles on the proto/plomb 5849 better than the head on the snap on 1 inch... They just feel stronger for some reason, maybe size does matter, hahahaha Also that is a 5649 3/4 in the front.

 

[old salvage]

Wow, thats some serious Plomb action goin on there.
Nice.

 

[eschoendorff]

Sheesh.. thems Plomb ratchets be huge!

How do you like teh Snap On guitar pick ratchet?

 

[krusty the clown]

thanks. What's the matco model number? I didn't see it on their site.

i think it's a br8t i'll have to check........i think they discontinued it

 

[48548]

Which one is the guitar pick ratchet? the mv 71?

 

[krusty the clown]

the triangle shaped palm ratchet

 

[caper]

What do you think of the Genius rotohead ratchets compared to the Snap ons since you have both?Awesome collection,would love to have one of those plomb 3/4 or 1" drives.They're awesome!

 

[48548]

I think the palm ratchet looks great but something I don't know if I would pay for... I haved used it on ****** pans and diff covers and then I tighten up with a ratchet in a criss cross pattern. as for the roto heads look on this site and I took one apart and took pictures. it seems to be good quality and I am getting another half inch one from mike at toptul to compare since snappy doesn't make a 1/2 inch model. for the money I got all 3 genius for less than the 3/8 would be new. I use them all the time now they are my goto ratchets and I would recommend them to anyone, but if you want one... wait and I can take pictures if wanted of the snap on apart along with the genius and toptul. I really want people to try toptul because mike as a person is great(Also the tools I have gotten from him are top notch also and I recommending them to everyone because I think they are much better than most of the craftsman stuff I have) and with genius I can't say the same and it is hard to find good prices without shopping around.

What was the reason for having the separate male drives on the 1" ratchet?

 

[48548]

I don't know, I took them out to fit them into the drawer easier to have them stack with out them in. Maybe there is a square 1 inch nut somewhere?

 

[wrenhandtools]

man I bet that was some noise when it hit the spin cycle.

[chammyman]

[billymade]

chammyman, have you ever posted pics of your box and tools? Inquiring minds would like to know and see, if you haven't!

 

[chammyman]

I posted a pic of my top box and the toosl I could salvage from the theives. I have since got more stuff back and its in boxes, tubs and bins as theres no room

I put 1 bin in the shed and it leaked so the bin filled with water and its made a load of my files etc rusty.

i will get pics of my entire tool collection though
