What is your go-to ratchet?

Also maybe good to hear your guys' top 3 or top 5 ratchets as well?

 

[Sloasszx3]

Used to be the Matco 88t locking flex head 12" long I think. Now its my new to me FL836 red hard handle snapon in 3/8 drive.

 

[ddo]

For 1/4 i use wera zyclops - rotoratchet style, works well as nut and bit driver as well.
Also in the mix are a couple titan gearless for extremely close quarters. Dual 80 tech standard handle is also in the bag, but mostly zyklops get brunt of the work.

3/8 have flex head dual 80 as well as non flex dual 80 standard length.

Half inch and above....i use somebody elses back to do it. Jk. Got husky pro series and upgrading to facom pearhead soon.

MAC TOOLS 3/8 drive swivel head ratchet...love it

 

[Nocturnal-G]

Wera zyklop for a majority of work, as of now. It's my go to ratchet. I want to try the new gearwrench 120xp's though!

3/8" - snap-on dual 80 flex head
1/4" & 1/2" - Matco 88t locking flex

 

[jmm]

Out of all my ratchets the one I used most is an FHX80, soft gripped 3/8 locking flex, long version.

The half inch I grab most often is the old Cornwell SR-50.
The quarter is the Snap-On T72.

 

[STGFordCrazy04]

Snap-on s80a and f80

Up until I got them I had a pair of Stanley Professionals in 1/2" and 3/8" drive that i really liked using - no reason why, they are nothing special

My shiny new GearWrench 120XP.

 

[stratman977]

Cornwell TR3 in 1/4, JR40 in 3/8, Wright 4500 with the tootsie roll grip in 1/2

Even though those cornwells are only 30 tooth they just work so smooth.

I have a few:
1. Cornwell JR-72 (best ratchet ever made)
2. My old 3/8" exposed gear Thorsen (it'll fit where others don't)
3. HF Plastic ratchet (it's just so easy to pick up and use for everyday tasks)

3/8" Gray. Use it everywhere.

 

[zakmartin]

1/2-inch Craftsman RP -V- series ratchet with the oil valve on top (dad bought it in 1974 or 1975). Perfect heft and feel and it works like a champ.

 

[CobraBronco]

1/2-inch Craftsman RP -V- series ratchet with the oil valve on top (dad bought it in 1974 or 1975). Perfect heft and feel and it works like a champ.

I have the same ratchet that I inherited from my father-in-law, and it is really a great ratchet. I feel like I am making the man proud every time I fix something with it.

 

[supra90turbo]

As much as I love my Snap-on ratchets, I always go for my teardrop Craftsman 3/8" ratchet when I'm in that size. It's a great ratchet despite the low tooth count, and it makes a great little hammer.

 

[shockwave]

Cornwell tr-3 1/4 drive
Snap on 3/8 drive flex comfort handle
I will seldom break out my 1/2 ratchets as I mostly us adapters before breaking out the 1/2 stuff

Williams 3/8" drive from Taiwan:

 

[bcradio]

Carlyle 3/8 drive 90 tooth mid length (9.5 inches) flex head ratchet with comfort grip.

Do they stock these at Napa normally or are they special order? How much do they go for?

I'd like to check these bad boys out.

[tjmonsen5]

Snap-on FHLF80 and TF72. I will be picking up more ratchets soon because the 3/8 is a little long for everyday use. A regular F80 is in my future!

 

[Brownsfan]

1/4" snap on th72 or tm737(old roto head)
3/8" Cornwell jr72
1/2" craftsman 84t
The only reason for the craftsman is I don't use 1/2"dr that much and this is the nicest 1/2" I own. I have a fh80 and flhf80 and I still prefer the jr72 unless I need a flex head. I may even buy jrf72 soon because I like them so much. If I need a longer handle for leverage I will use th jr40 Cornwell.
