I have had a broken “Gear Ratchet” 14mm socket for almost 15 years now out of a kit I bought 20 years ago when it wasnt Gear Wrench. I have been using that split 14mm for the past 15 years honestly without issue I finally decided to get it warrantied but when I contacted them they told me they didnt make that socket anymore They gave me a part number to put into the warranty form 3 days later an entire Serpentine Belt Gear Ratchet set showed up in the mail because it included the part number they dont make on its own anymore. Absolutely awesome customer service experience.

Thanks brother, I like dual head ratchets. The aft head makes a good handle. Regarding the warranty, I've only had one Harbor Freight ratchet (of many) fail and as usual, they replaced it no questions asked. On the other hand, I've endured more new Craftsman and Husky ratchets fail. I've never had a vintage ratchet fail. God bless.

Hi there, I have a question: Which settings are you using for the brightness of your Gamepad? I just received this battery, but mine only lasts 6 hours till the light turns red, instead of the 12 hours I heard about on Amazon. Might that be due to the power-saving mode being turned off? I don't know. God bless 🙏🏼

Made in USA, same grip as the mac grip pry bars so i'm assuming these are OEM'd by Mayhew just like the Macs. I'm pretty sure these do have the metal striking caps on the end too if you give them a light tap with something metallic you will hear that. I think this has to be the first video of its kind show casing these which is awesome because they are sleepers for the money. I have no idea why proto would go backwards and be using those yellow acetate grandpa handles over these ones which are much more ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing all around.
