[TR] Wrenches

[Tim Cheatham]

I like the SK ratchets (Snap On, too) but my favorites are Craftsman round head, fine tooth ratchets. These aren't the ones you usually see in the stores, but are available online. I've taken mine apart and applied a bit of Permatex engine assembly lube to them. It really makes them operate smoothly.

don't know about ratchets.

Have always used Craftsman sockets and ratchets, screwdrivers, pliers, and so
on.B B Never liked their electric power tools or chainsaws.B



But now I'm into my second 3/8ths ratchet with a switch lever that can't seem
to work in swapping back and forth from clockwise to counterclockwise.B



Anybody have luck with a different brand of tool that has the quality that I'm
coming to believe Craftsman only used to have?



...Or am I just unlucky with ratchets here....
