Which Quality Ratchet ? ?
« on: 04 August 2007, 21:29:06 »
Decided to splash out....most of my stuff is sealey / draper...

But my trusty non specific 1/2" ratchet is getting loose and needs replacing...

So im going to treat myself to a top notch one...

But which one? britool, Facom, SP, Sealey.....Snap On  :o

Anyone got one of the above ? Recommendations/Thoughts?

I'd be inclined to not buy the really expensive Facom/Snap-On tools, they're good but expensive. Halfords professional range is good enough for most home use

I have a "headless" rover K seres lump spare inthe garage - outwith the car and i have decided i`d like to take it apart to see its workings...kind of hard when its on a hoist....as anytime i put a socket on anything it just swings..
