The craftsman 36t does deserve to be last. It was all I used for years. I probably warrantied 5 of them when they broke. When my eyes were opened to real quality ratchets I was amazed how crappy the c-man were.

I use number 4 on the list, I bought it at princessauto under the performance tool name, it was a $5 special, it sits in my toolbag at work and have been in use for a year now with no hiccups. If I ever see it again I will get another one

Kind of funny, the site is truck trend but they did not test one "truck brand" ratchet.

Yea I gave a couple of them to the father in law. I like the 84 tooth craftsman pro. The reviewers did not.

BS if you ask me. That clunky Extendo-ratchet is far from the best out there.

They show #1 as a Husky model, but it is actually a rebranded Stanley and is no longer sold at HD because HD switched sourcing from Stanley to GearWrench a few years ago, at least for ratchets/sockets and wrenches.

Walmart still carries that model:

Several members have reported they like theirs a lot, relative to price anyway.
