SK 42470 Professional 1/2-Inch Drive 10-1/4-Inch Reversible Ratchet
It’s exactly like the one that one of my son’s friends walked off with 25 years ago. Looks the same, built to last and last if you can keep it from getting “lost”. My father bought me a 1/2 drive inch ‘SK-WAYNE’ set when I was in high school, and I still have the whole set (well, now I do…again). The moral of the story is to keep your kids friends away from your tools. SK tools are costly, but worth it. I want more.
Good quality ratchet. The price was good, but the shipping was pretty high. Fast delivery. Overall, the best price I could find.
I own quite a few 1/2″ ratchets and I can honestly say that this is probably the nicest looking of them all. That’s not the say it doesn’t measure up in other departments, but what stands out the most is definitely the smooth finish and high shine polish on this ratchet.
As far as smoothness, for a ratchet with 36 teeth you really don’t feel it as coarse at all. Between the triple tooth contact and the fact that it’s a round head design, this thing is about as smooth as glass. It’s very quiet and makes a positive but not obnoxious click. Has to be my favorite clicking sound of any of the 1/2″ ratchets I own.
Finally, for toughness, this thing is a serious ratchet. It’s professional grade in every way and is made with tight tolerances and hardened teeth. I have no doubt it’ll shrug off whatever I need to throw at it, so I won’t be holding back at all with this thing. Besides that, it has great heft to it and you can feel how heavy duty it is.
All in all, you simply can’t go wrong with this ratchet and certainly not at this price. If you’re shopping around for a 1/2″ ratchet, buy this one and save yourself the trouble of looking elsewhere. You will not regret it and you’ll wish you’d bought it sooner. I’d take this over any Snap On or other tool truck brand, any day.
