Higher end tools that don't break the bank
Many many years ago, I bought a set of S&K 3/8 metric ratchets from a hardware store. I needed something quick and I know I spent a bunch ($80 around 1990). They have performed flawlessly for years. I just priced a similar set of SAE/Metric $309!!!
I have a set of 1/4" drive that I picked up from ACE hardware (ACE brand) that has severed very well for years.
I have a set of SAE 1/2 drive (Ace Hardware) where the ratchet was lost (left on a bumper) and then the set rolled out of an open pickup bed. and lost the 1/2" socket.
So, I'm looking for a set of good quality 1/2 drive ratchets in both metric and SAE. I think I should also get a set of 3/8 drive in SAE.
What do you say these days for good quality that will last, that will not break the bank?
