All of My 1/4 Ratchets Snap on Gearwrench Carlyle Tekton Matco

[@86mdwolfie]

I have snap on and Matco locking flex ratchets in all sizes but as far as my 1/4 ratchets go, I find myself using my 120XP the most. I really love that line.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice that's great to hear. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and what you use 👍

[@Saladon89]

the new tekton design is impeccable, check out their new 1/4 ratchets, super slim design, i bought all 3 and taking the 3/8 out first from the package, i thought it was the 1/4 at first until i took out the 1/4, i was speechless.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Haha glad you enjoy. I really like the new design as well

[@Starman-yt8lj]

Great collection of ratchets Tony! Big fan of Tekton myself.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks and same here 👍👍👍

[@andrewsalazar98]

You can’t beat the warranty and quality!

[@boosted2.4_sky]

That unbranded ratchet that you seem to like looks like it could be a Powerbuilt or possibly Titan....just taking a shot.. Good stuff Big T

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I looked at those brands too and couldn't find it. I want to say it was another from Napa or matco lol but I can't say for certain either

[@markadams7597]

Very thorough, thanks for the great review.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you and imbglad you enjoyed

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Those gear wrench soft grips would be my go to if I didnt have snap on models!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya they are pretty nice and I like the size of the comfort grip. They aren't as bulky as the matco ones. And ya snap on is a good choice as well haha 👍👍👍

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

@@TonyTheTechnician Another one I liked was that carlyle stubby soft grip, I wish snap on would make one like that were its just a stuby soft grip, they did it with the chrome handles making mini stuby flex and non flex ratchets, they're like under 3inches long i think.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@Toyotas_n__Tools oh nice and ya the Carlyle ones are really nice. They make some nice ratchets

[@ryanfay1]

I find those little craftsman 1/4 common set ratchets get the job done and hf 1/4 TW. Any weird angles I use a 3/8 flex with an adapter. That tekton looks cool.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice and ya the tekton is great

[@johnlong5899]

Nice selection. I'm anxious to give one of the new GW 90 tooth ratchets a try. One ratchet that I really enjoy inside dashes and door panels is a Titan miniature 1/4 drive I got at Orielly for like 10 bucks along with a strip of stubby sockets for like another 10 bucks. Both have been life savers in real crammed quarters.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with that set. 👍👍👍

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Tony Thank you for sharing your Collection with us.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Hey and thank you for watching. I always appreciate your support and comments 👍

[@gregblau8082]

I was waiting to find out what that small head ratchet was. I agree about the 90 tooth gearwrench. Most of mine range from 72-88 tooth and I honestly don’t think it makes a lot of difference

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya it bothers me not being able to remember lol. And ya I agree. It's nice when working in tight spaces but 90% of the time it doesn't make much of a difference when it comes to that amount of tooth difference. 👍

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Tony Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Brother, that's a sweet collection 😀 Again thank you

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Haha thank you!! 👍

[@rafaelmeneses5066]

I find the 90 tooth snap on locking flex head as my go to 1/4. My offset Astro is my 2nd choice.

[@doalex2085]

Nice collection.” But I believe that you are missing one.the extension one I can’t wait to get the whole set of those!!!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks haha I almost got one of those but I'm actually waiting for a nice long 1/4 to be released 👍

[@kennethvignona6435]

I have several different ratchets but really do not understand the real difference between the different toothed count benefits etc. Also the difference between the arc swing. Use them all the time, I know what I like but could you explain the pluses and minus of difference. Thanks.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

With a higher tooth count you get smaller arc swing. Less degrees between each tooth engagement so it's easier to use in tight spaces. Also not directly related but most times with higher toothcounts you have less back drag so the operation feels smoother but the teeth are smaller the more teeth the gear has so making sure it is using a pawl with multiple tooth engagement is key to having strong engagement. Hopefully that helps a little but I'll go more in depth in one of my videos 👍

[@jimhaines8370]

GearWrench calls the color Molten Orange.

Tony: You mentioned very loght oil to lubricate, have you tought about the AMSOIL 0W-16 oil? It is PRETTY light, and AMSOIL provides superb lubrication.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you I'll look into it

[@gregblau8082]

Check out the gearwrench 81030. It’s a compact head 12” locking flex 1/4 & bit ratchet.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya I have actually been looking at that for a couple of years lol. I think it looks like a great ratchet. Idk why I haven't picked it up yet

[@gregblau8082]

It doesn’t feel as solid as most of their stuff but comes in really handy when you need it

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@gregblau8082 good to know thank you 👍

[@iowafox2206]

Good video! I have the same comfort grip Napa Carlyle and love it! I also have the regular handle one you got as well along with there older version pre Carlyle. I have a MAC 1/4 low tooth count that stays home for random use. I have a old Crapsman raised panel that gets washer machine repair duty lol. But I have to say far none the best and most used 1/4 I have thus far is my Pittsburgh Pro rotors head the $16 green handle quick release. I got it on a whim I think eventually I'll get the Icon version. No flex head 1/4 for me yet. I got to say tho I can tackle most small things with the ones I got.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice. Nothing wrong with that. Whatever works best for you and gets the job done. Thanks for sharing 👍

good reveiw. I have the texton torque wrench and it is great. my 1/4 ratchets are craftsman( usa) kobalt hf and icon. Waiting for texton to bring out a 1/4 long handle ratchets. You are getting a large ratchet collection like Clay Koon has.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks and very nice. Ya I hope they release a long handle one soon. Haha ya I still have to go through all of my 3/8 and 1/2. I think I have enough lol

[@mikefennema5561]

We seem to be in a competition for the highest tooth count. Once you get past 60 or 70 teeth, it just doesn't mater to me. A low back drag is far more important.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Completely agree. I think that's why Many companies are staying around the 90t for good arc swing and low back drag.

[@zsar31]

Which one is the absolute hands down go to rachet ?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Haha now that's a hard question. Alot have different features and are good for different situations. All of these in the video have held up very well though. 👍

[@MajorWeakness]

I have a small duralast like your unbranded but mine says duralast, very small and also my favorite, dont know if they still sell

Hi Tony, i did buy a gearwrench 81014 it was inexpensive very similar to a craftsman but i had higher expectations haha, if my hand interferes with the selective lever it wont ratchet, that drives me nuts

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Oh ya that was the one with the lever sitting up and not recessed. That would drive me crazy too

just so canadians know the silver eagle ratchet is also rebranded as a mastercraft ratchet in black, its the 058-0384-0 ratchet. $20 and its the same ratchet
