Working on my Christmas list for Santa, I have a question about four Snap-On ratchets: THNF72 and TNF72. I have never really used a roto ratchet and am not sure which one to get. I am also thinking about FHKF80 and FHCNF72. I have been mainly a chrome handle guy. Any advise? I don't think I will be able to get on a truck to check them out in person, but would like to get one from Santa. Thanks.

I prefer the TH over the T; the handle (identical to the TH737 I have had for years) is easy to manipulate, force, grip, clear obstructions, and hold onto.

I am a fan of roto ratchets. Flex handles like the FHKF80 feel like force is being directed the wrong angle to me. You may want the FHCNF72 or the bigger full size 100 tooth 3/8 roto FHNF100.

The FHCNF72 is my favorite ratchet. If Santa brings you one of those, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

I personally love the roto ratchet. I would get the handle version (I switched mine to a standard hard handle). Works great and they are my goto ratchets

I've got every snap on ratchet they offer and one big thing for me between the roto and flex is that you can often use the flex as a speeder once it's broken loose and given clearance. The roto will get you into tighter places. Soft handle is my favorite because when wearing gloves covered in oil the metal handles can be slippery SOB's

I have the FHCFNF72 and it is my favorite ratchet ever. A flex head will never reach where the roto head will. If you do alot of tight work, owning both a flex and roto may be a good investment
