Titan 1/4-3/8" Stubby Rachet...Decent?

[Jbear]

I'm looking at the black and yellow rubberize handle one. There's a flex-head and a regular and they are quite inexpensive. Question is...are they inexpensive a solid or just cheap and garbage. There are some really nice ones like Hazet, but obviously not for 20 bux.
Thanks all!

I don't have any first hand experience with that ratchet but the typical auto parts store ratchets that I've bought and used seem solid enough for me. Especially at their price point.

I bought the Titan one from Amazon and there was something sloppy about it - I think the flex head. I bought the equivalent one from Northern Tool in person and all the ones on the shelf were fine. I find it to be perfectly functional.

I had one. I ground the 1/4 anvil off to have a short 3/8. It lived long enough for me to give it to my stepson when he was starting to get his hands dirty. Decently low back drag. Nothing scientific, just feel.

Yeah...figured as much...thanks for that. I noticed that the pall isn't accessible cover (looks riveted), so it's basically disposable.
