The ratchet I have I bought right after I got my first car in 1970. The chrome on the sides of the wrench is worn off from a few thousand times of laying it on the floor while under a car working.

It is a Fuller brand, and has never broken or had any issues.



That is it on the left. I had to buy that other socket and wrench to get to one of the nuts on the 911 pulley area where there is just no room for the Fuller.

I have a several drawers full of Sears Open end - Box end wrenches in Metric and SAE. All bough back in the good old days of American quality manufacturing.

We all understand Snap On is a next level up. I have a set of Sears line wrenches.I was trying to remove the fittings on the fuel filter. I could fee the wrench starting to round off the tips. I went to a Snap on dealer and bought Snap On line wrenches. They fit tighter, and removed the fitting with no issues.

I have some cheap Chineisium tools that are junk, but in a 24mm or 36mm open end, super tight tolerances is just not an issue.
