My Favorite Ratchets And Why

[@Sethhaun78]

Beautiful set up

[@neoretrophoto9198]

I love how organized you are! It inspired me to clean up my toolbox.

[@snaponmark]

Love your content! Never thought I'd see someone as obsessed with ratchets as me. Your collection is fantastic!

3/8- Snap On F80 1/4- Snap On T72 1/2- Bonney A-702KL

[@Sethhaun78]

Bonney Is nice have wrench thin one like it

[@KeepingitAnalog]

Very nice set of ratchets!

[@Rudimentary007]

Nice collection 👍

If I could only have one of each... 1/2" drive - My long handle flex head SK. Gets the job done. 3/8" drive - Snap-On FX936 locking flex handle. Daily one I reach for. 1/4" drive - Snap-On TM737 swivel head. The PERFECT 1/4" drive ratchet.

[@MidwestToolReview]

All great choices!! I think I’d go with my FHLF80A in 3/8”, the SHLF80A in 1/2” and really any 1/4”, but it would need to be a flex head..

When space permits it I always use my long handle ratchet or breaker bar to break the bolts loose first then I impact them off saves a lot of wear and tear on the impact

[@wethenorth4378]

Thats funny that you mentioned ratchets. I use a different truck brand for every size. but i enjoy using my mac tool axis 90 1/4" locking flex. snap on for 3/8, and matco for 1/2 the locking flex head 30" comfort grip. how is the matco 88tooth for 3/8 i could use another length?

[@MidwestToolReview]

I really like the Matco88, 3/8th flexhead. I think the reason is, the handle has more of a positive feel in the hand. The bulkier, the less positive feel/feedback when you breaking loose or tightening a fastener. The Matco comfort grip is much thinner than Snap-On, and I like that. The locking mechanism is fairly easy to use, but I don’t award any more points for that feature when compared to Snap-on. Now, the gears seem to be slightly more corse than snap-on, but far better than most others. Overall, I’d score it at 8.5 and Snap-on at 9.5

[@wethenorth4378]

@@MidwestToolReview when it comes to "locking" flex heads I only have mac , and Matco. the snap on button on the shaft never appealed to me. no that i think about it I do see what you mean with the comfort grip types.

[@itsatoolthing6323]

I think it's funny you picked a standard length ratchets. I have a ton of ratchets and some are standard length. But in my box at work I've got everything stubby to extract long but no standard length. 3/8 drive is my main drive choice and of them i tend to prefer Snap-on 1st 72 tooth 1/4 standard length flex head with 3/8 drive anvil making it a stubby, 2nd 3/8 80 tooth bent handle flex head Snap-on about 13" ratchet, 3rd 3/8 80 tooth extra long flex head Snap-on 17" ratchet.

[@wethenorth4378]

@@itsatoolthing6323 You miss understood. None of my ratchets are standard length. I would consider a standard length 3/8 matco .....

[@itsatoolthing6323]

@@wethenorth4378 sorry about I was just commenting on the video. Didn't realize I was in your thread. Sorry for the confusion.

[@chryslertechnician3439]

Man I’m like you, addicted to tools, I’m a Chrysler tech. Anyway I need to get the new BLUE Matco ratchet’

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I have a soft grip thnf72 roto head thats in great condition id trade for the green hard handle. I love your tools man!

[@dougdroen7519]

U ever here of the pro series it's got the red n black handle. That says pro series 3/8ths on the neck

[@MidwestToolReview]

No I havent

[@larryborkstrom3580]

I like my roto heads but straight 3/8 long handle all chrome handle snap on still my main go to rachet

[@OneReferralAway]

Great video

[@nuggetcult1216]

I see you did a instinct handle swap, Ive swap handles on a bunch of my snap on's. I did a stubby screwdriver handle on 1/4 T72, I had to grind the handle down a bit. I gave it to my 8 year old son to use, the stubby is easier for him to grip.

[@ViperMods_216]

That Mac axis is the best ratchet in that box...

[@MidwestToolReview]

I’m not willing to make that statement!! I’d say it’s in-line with every other brand, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best. There has been more broken claims against the new Mac Axis ratchet than there should be based on its perceived quality.

[@BesToolSnapon]

Gran colección

[@MidwestToolReview]

Gracias!!

Who is that little guy with the ball on his tail?

[@MidwestToolReview]

That’s the kids cat (Fleetwood). His fur became matted, so they decided to give him a Lion cut…lol

[@claytonscheiber3493]

I have that SnapOn 1/2 inch. It was my dads. That's my go to for 1/2 drive stuff. Love this ratchet. I've been using a 3/8 Pittsburgh Pro 72 tooth for awhile now, no issues, feels good while using it. I have a Pittsburgh Pro 1/4 drive swivel head that's been great so far.

[@MRhappy9]

Good night buddy see you tomorrow when you have a video! I

[@iowafoxoutdoors_8838]

Great video! I am kinda surprised about your 1/4 opinion but I like this video!

[@chrislabbe6675]

Bro they don't looked used at all

[@MidwestToolReview]

Most of them are not use. When you have as much as I do, things don’t always get used. I buy them mostly to share with my audience…those that are appreciative to see some cool vintage tools
