smaller Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches don't have 72 teeth

You may want to take a seat before reading this!!!

I have a 5/16 wrench that has 60 teeth, not 72. If you can't read the crappy pict, it says, "5 degrees precision movement ratcheting box end on 3/8" thru 3/4", 6 degrees on 5/16""

Is this old news? Not that I really care, I just happened to notice it.

Hmm, that's interesting, it's news to me. Every time I read something like that it says 5 deg on it. Someone must have nailed them on that issue.

Who was that bored to actually count the teeth? Anyone? What's a degree of movement between friends?

smallest size, not a big deal? Maybe it was too difficult.

I counted the teeth on my SK spline wrenches to make sure every size had 90 teefus. On one wrench I counted 87 teeth, so I recounted and sure enough, I miscounted - it's got 90.
