Snapon ratchet set?

[PT Doc]

I'm interested in what SO ratchet set would be a good addition for a non-professional mechanic.

Current ratchets:
1/4, 3/8, 1/2 Craftsman raised panel
3/8 newest Cman (like old SO 936 (?))
Gearwrench 3/8
Older Cman pearshaped longer handle
A few B brand round head ratchets

What would you want if the above was your list? Would you want a SO set to replace some of the ratchets? Would you want standard handles or with grips?

Seeing as there are no roto or swivel ratchets in this collection, would that be a good 3 piece set to get?

Thanks for the help.

I am currently/patiently looking for a indexing/multi-position ratchet, but I mostly work on atv's/snowmobiles that have a lot of tight spaces. I also prefer hard handles or chrome handles

You might want to check out matco ratchets. They have 88th now that only require 4 degrees of swing, to engage the teeth. The full paw rides along the gear head which makes them stronger than the older styles... PM if you have questions.

i like soft grips for their functionality but they're a pain to clean and look terrible after some time in an automotive repair environment.

well he said he's a non pro so i don't think that'll be a prob. Mine didn't get too beat up for awhile.

that really is a nice set. i don't think that you'd be disappointed with it. although it is a lot of money to spend on ratchets if you're non-pro. but if you want them go for it.
