Keeping it simple
 
Bought a 3/8 swivel head ratchet at HF this am...$18
Not until I was back home did I notice the stamped directions for the ratchet.
Have they been this way for a while? (on..off) :confused:

Do you need a European version for the left handed threads ?

The next step will be including an instruction manual with the ratchet.

That is to conserve battery power.

^^^ I guess I forgot to buy the charger with this thing!

It is just the updated for the new 2020 version of adults.

Will it drain the battery if you leave it on?
We've all had parasitic draws that drove us nuts.

I shoulda bought a spare battery and a charger.

I have snapon ratchets from the 60's or 70's that have Off and On engraved on them.

stevej37 01-14-2021 08:43 AM

I have at least six (newer) ones. This is the first, of mine, with anything other than arrows.

Mine are all cheapies...compared to Snapon.

My first thought was that the switch is backwards compared my rachets so I looked it up.

Yep:
