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)

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

That is to conserve battery power.

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

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

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:
