I bought one from the bargain bin at our local O'Reilly Auto Parts in Lewistown MT. for $4.99. Same exact package as the duralast one that was posted above but it said Performance Tool on the paper insert instead. There were about 15 in the bin and my friend bought one that had Titan packaging. There were also some that had Wilmar on them. All the same ratchets, different inserts. I bought it for my gf who was there because she liked the feel of it. It's VERY light and I'm not sure it would handle much abuse but she loves it!! and that's all that matters there. This was last spring but I will ask if they have any left somewhere in back.

I've also seen those at Pep Boys under the "Great Neck" brand. The handle feels like plastic, which might be why it's so light.

I think I've also seen the Performance Tools one at Advanced Auto.

Both look and feel the same as the duralast ones.

good to know those fine folks who work at the magical Duralast factory that produce fine autoparts from brake pads to car batteries, have now branched out into the world of fine hand tools. Im sure on my tool binge I'll head straight over to my local AutoZone to satisfy my needs. I hate stepping foot into my local store for auto parts, let alone for tools. But the bigger question is who would be so dumb to spend 20$ on a pos ratchet at Autozone?

The Great Neck one was $13.99 for 3/8 drive IIRC. I don't remember seeing any other sizes


what does "ten star" mean in the title?

I guess you didn't read the OP. :lol_hitti It's the name of the tiny-head ratchet. Click the link, ignore the duralast. It was a tangent to the thread and not related to the Ten Star.
