Eh, I'm slowly building up tooling. And anything that makes me spend less time is in the budget lolI want one of those... can't justify the $50 price tag...

That is awesome. I even like the color.
You can deliver that straight to my shop, here let me PM you the address.
Seriously though, beautiful box. That one with that color scheme is exactly what I want.
I'm hooked on German tools

new facom extendable ratchet, 72 teeth
I'm a big Facom fan, and their ratchets are the best I've ever used,
but I've always hated the idea of adjustable length ratchets.
What is your opinion of this one..?![]()
I like the looks of those 1/4 drive ratchets are they pretty smooth.
The round head ratchet is 100 tooth (?) and is very smooth. I have not used the others much yet, but they feel smooth.

First "nice" ratchet I've got. Until now I haven't spent more than $20 on one.

Ive been getting a pretty steady stream of tools and such in....just standard fare.
Got this yesterday.

BAHCO 808050P ($33) ratcheting screwdriver. Was looking at SnapOn, Williams and BAHCO.
Was leaning towards the Williams ($29) but it didnt have the knurling on the shaft and I kinda wanted that.
The non pistol grip BAHCO 808050 was $30......also has the knurling.
Went back and forth on rather or not Id use or like the pistol grip. Figured the rotating pistol grip was actually done well enough so I went that way.
The bit storage in the handle is very well done. The grip rotates and locks up very well. The direction selector operates well, has a very distinct detent and I dont think it will ever give me problems changing direction.
Mechanism is smooth and feel precise. Seems strong.
I could have looked around and gotten a deal on a used SnapOn.....but I think for my needs this will be just as good.
If anything it will turn him off from Snap-On ratchets. Their locking flex mechanism is the biggest piece of junk compared to Armstrong/Matco.
