I need to start searching but what's the word on the street for the 80 tooth snap on ratchets? I'm looking at the FH80 (3/8 drive fixed head) and wanted to hear some feedback. I have several craftsman and assorted other brand ratchets but they're getting old and all are a little short for my liking. I currently do not own any Snap On so I'm a little timid about jumping on the Snappy band wagon. I think it maybe a little addictive but I'm ready. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Awesome ratchets, try one out and try not to become too addicted.

If looking to avoid the never ending Snap-on addiction then stay away from it like the plague. 
If you're simply looking for probably the finest ratchet available and have enough will power to stop at just one Lays Potato Chip, then pick up a bag in your favorite chrome flavor, configuration, style. drive size. You know.....
Get it.

Where is the F80 made? I checked mine and it doesn't say USA on it...
Regardless it's the best ratchet I've ever used.

My flex head one is marked along with the 1/4. My normal handle 3/8 is not marked at all.

My TL72 doesn't have USA on it. By the way, have any of you guys break any sockets with the dual 80 ratchet? So far I broke 2 already using my FHLF80.

Just got a FLF80 (flex head) last week and I like it quite a bit. Welcome to the dark side. Good luck on stopping at one.

Holy cr*p. Well I know I won't buy that many but I'm sure it's good to know you'll have the one you need and if that one has trouble you'll have back up.
I ended up buying the FH80 last night. I've been looking at them for awhile so it wasn't as much as an implulse buy. I'm pretty sure I'll love it and being I use a 3/8 the most I think I'll be happy for a while. I'm sure more will be in my future but slowly as my wife and I have our first child on the way and I don't want to get called out for spending all the money on tools (for the upteenth time).
Thats a serious addiction. Next time my wife complains about my tool bill I'll show her this picture.

That is a old pic so it has changed alot, I have traded quite a few for tools I need.
