I'm going to get a 1/2" socket set (SAE) and was planning on Craftsman, but this weekend at Fleet Farm I checked out the Allen Tools ratchets and individual sockets and they seemed pretty good. Made in the USA, too. You can see a picture of an Allen ratchet here.
Any opinions on how they compare to Craftsman? Or other brands, such as SK? GL |

Dude, I just got a set of Craftsman's new thin profile ratchets (1/4, 3/8, and 1/2). Way better than their previous regular sets. Now, I've never used their Professional edition ratchets, but these new ones they have are sweet. Way more clicks per turn (great in tight spots), more comfortable, just all around awesome.
Craftsman says it is their best ratchet ever. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00933442000P I've never used Allen Tools' ratchets, so I can't tell you how they compare. One of my friends has some nice Snap On ratchets. Them are nice.

their torque wrenches are the suxor!
Alway buy a couple of 3/8" & 1/2" drive ratches. I have long and short 3/8" along with my standards If you're working on a project and you need to switch sockets it a time waster. or if you're working with a bolt and nut having two tools working saves time. Europeans buy 1/2" and 1/4" first we Americans will buy the 3/8"s first. |
