SK or Wright

[cookiemonster]

Looking to get a ratchet either Wright 3490 3/8 or an SK which would you guys pickup?

Only because I have a biased opinion, out of the 2 I would pick S-K. I recently started looking at Williams......and looked at a few Wright ratchets based on suggestions from other members. They do look like a sharp piece of steel!

I vote for Wright. However, I don't have any SK stuff

 

[BLJ]

no s-k stuff, either. but i have had great service from my wright 1/2" drive.

I would buy the Wright. SK is good also. I have more SK than Wright only because SK is easier for me to buy. My SK dealer is only 1/2 mile away. I love all of my new SK (Idea) tools so far.

 

[Zrexxer]

Wright, hands down. SK is a fair second.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

I vote sk, I have several sk items at home and a few Wright tools at work. I much prefer sk.

 

[Hiball]

Both are good choices... Between the 2, they prob make up 80% of my drive tools. In regards to Ratchets, I favor Wright....but Sk is right there and both are affordable US options if your into that thing.

SK but I'm biased. I've had SK for 45+ years almost exclusively....

Wright has a smaller head, and a more comfortable handle

 

[rusty65]

I would pick Wright for ratchets because it has a slightly higher tooth count and the grips on wright ratchets are meater versus sks which have a slimmer handle.

Wright make some nice industrial grade tool, so I would go with wright they are a bit more compact, better for working in confine areas.

Which holds up to high torque/cheater usage the best?

 

[Chadwilliam1]

the correct answer is both.

 

[dirtydogintex]

*groan*

 

[Zrexxer]

the wrong answer is both.

[franzdom]

Wright for me please.

 

[btbsandman]

SK for me.

I have a 3/8 SK ratchet and I have took lug nuts off a Bronco with it by kicking down on the handle. I had no other option and I was impressed as hell that it did it. Had that ratchet for twenty years. Never had a Wright. I would buy both if it was me.

 

[the1nonlyjl]

both r good

 

[Chadwilliam1]

^^^fixed^^^

No, Not fixed.

 

[KEH]

I have both, both are good. I look for used ratchets of all, well most, makes. I have never found a broken Wright ratchet, but I have found broken SK. On the other hand, There are more SK tools around.

Why SK or Wright? Why not something more exotic like Cornwell or Facom?

 

[ajchien]

S-K!

Get an SK 3/8dr Roto-Head and you won't be disappointed.
