TWO RATCHETS I love that have far exceeded my Expectations,you won't believe who makes them 😲

Love a Matco ratchet.

Person: So Jeff, how many ratchets have you got? Jeff: ...Yes.

[@mikefisc9989]

All of them, is the correct answer. 😄

@ me? almost a year.. that’s a long time to me :) 4 years sounds like a lifetime.

I thank God for every day I even wake up now. It's been around 7 to 8 years. I could say that it gets easier, but I think the Lord just gave me a stouter back to shoulder the weight with.

Hard to believe that purple matco is the last one standing. Would have been my first choice.

I think Pittsburgh tools are underrated. I was very happy when they put one in my area.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

I have a couple of these and plan to get a couple more. They are great for the price. Great video Jeff 👍

I've has both of 'em for a few years and I like them too. I also luv the older series Pittsburgh composite ratchets (black & grey) for working in cold weather.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you Starship,as always for sharing!!

[@erik34]

Those are nice ratchets. Hard to beat the value there.

[@toolsplustech]

Interesting take. So far, I've worked with Craftsman USA, Stanley, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Snap-On, Icon, and more no-name ratchets than you can count. I wouldn't say the Icon is the best one I've ever used, but for the price, I'd say it's one of the best semi-professional tools you can buy.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks my friend for joining in and sharing your take on it!!

[@mrmoto7682]

I love the low profile Pittsburghs. Super smooth and very low backdrag.

[@pontiacnut65]

People can say what they want about about the different level of tools. The different companies all have good and bad tools. If it works and is dependable its not wrong despite what the price tags say. Im a harbor freight fan. I still have some of my Dad's pittsburg tools from the 80's and they still work. Im a big believer in value for thr buck! Great info Jeff!

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks pontiac for joining in and sharing your thoughts!!

[@StephenMachiela]

I just got the slim head it impressed me. I think that is smoother then anyother budget ratchet I have came across

I like purple!

[@j.dalesavage6357]

I have the 1/4" Pittsburgh pro flex head - I agree, Love it! I took it apart and cleaned it and lubed it with Superlube as soon as I got it-made it even smoother! I don't have near as many as you, but it is my go-to 1/4" ratchet.

[@jeremyr722]

And you can service them too! I appreciate a cheap ratchet that you can lubricate or fix if you break it. Yeah i know you can warranty them but what’s the fun in that? Happy New Year Jeff!

[@Roger_Icce]

Is harbor freight selling rebuild kits now?

[@jeremyr722]

@@Roger_Iccethat’s a good point, they probably aren’t

[@mandapalque]

My go-to is the composite one. Even lighter, they are in comparison to the ones you are showing. Now they have it in high visibility green.

Love your channel Jeff! I enjoy your knowledge of tools. I appreciate how you are honest in your reviews! I also believe the Pittsburgh Pro Series ratchet is a great bang for the buck. Probably one of the biggest. I thought it was refreshing and you were not afraid to give them such a good review, knowing you review many of the more expensive tools.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks Steve!! im not loyal to any one brand!!! if it works good,im in!!!!

Great video Jeff. I have the majority of the Pittsburgh ratchets and I'm really impressed with them. The back drag is extremely low on all but one. Harbor Fright is definitely my favorite store. Thanks for your honesty, if you review something I take it as the gospel and purchase it if needed. Thanks Jeff

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you mike,your much appreciated!!

The beauty of the Pittsburg and HF in general, if you ever did break it, it is under warranty. Thanks for providing value rather than status in regard to tools.

[@tobyleach176]

You probably just struck a nerve with all those snapon tool snobs!Dont worry about them! I think they're just mad because they can't justify spending 20 times more for thiers. Those are great ratchets, they also got a pretty solid lifetime warranty on them too. Those are perfect for the DIYer or the guy just getting started. There is no need to buy once cry once with these! great video. BTW.. I like the pitsburghs and the Quinns more than the Icons.

[@jefftovani5535]

Your probaby rite toby,lol!! Happy New Year!!

[@mikeobrien2582]

I have to agree with you about the Pittsburg ratchets. I bought a 1/4" flex and really liked it. I was looking to get a non-flex and the Icon was on sale so I bought it. The Icon has way more back drag even after I took it apart and lubed it. I'm thinking of trying a Quinn.

[@ericvannielsen]

Just picked up the Quinn 1/4 and it's 👍🏻

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea, Quinn is a good choice, thanks for joining in mike!!

[@joshchristianson7970]

Finally somebody actually showing some love to HF. I have a few of each from 1/4 to 1/2 and have never had a problem with them. I use and abuse them and they've never stopped being my first choice instead of more expensive alternatives (which was lucky cause I dont have any of those😂)

[@Dungulus]

the pittsburgh long handle 3/8" flex head is around $30, which I always turned my nose at, I wasn't going to pay $30 for a ratchet from harbor freight of all places. Then one particular week a few years ago they had it on sale for about $24 and out of curiosity I picked one up off the shelf and was blown away at how smooth the backdrag was. I went ahead and bought it, and it's been one of my favorite ratchets. I'd replace it at full price if it was stolen now.

[@jefftovani5535]

I love it,thanks Dungulus for sharing that story!!

I love my older Pittsburgh Pro's, wish I could find more due to like you said being that good. The newer green ones just aren't quite to the level those reds are.

[@Gadgetstoolbox]

The tool that helps you get the job done is typically the one you keep.

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

You are right Jeff, the PP ratchets are very good ; all the other tool guys are blinded by the hype! That occasionally happens with wine as well , you get a year or in this case a production run that is exceptional. Good call Jeff.

[@jefftovani5535]

I agree, sometimes things just click!

[@Glewisme]

[@jefftovani5535]

They are fantastic, very durable, thanks for joining in!

[@mlieser1230]

When I went to purchase the ICON 3/8 long handle flex head with comfort grip I took a good long look at the Pittsburgh version. The comfort grip handle felt nice and firm. The flex head joints were tight. The mechanism was smooth with negligeable back drag. They can be serviced and if it breaks it can be warranted. These ratchets are a great bang for the buck. Unfortunately the backwards reversing lever was the deal breaker. I'm too used to the normal reversing positions and purchased the ICON in the end. Let us just say that I GOT CONNED! 🤣🤣After inspecting the ICON in the car and finding the jerky flex head joint I almost went back in the store to return it and get the Pittsburgh. I just had to have that red handle.

[@jefftovani5535]

Hi lieser yea,and you cant try out Icon in the store,thier sealed up in a box,which sucks!! Happy New Year lieser!!

[@joesteffens613]

I love these too, I have the flex head in 1/4 and 3/8. I don’t have a 1/2 inch yet, but they don’t sell them in the store anymore. I’ve been keeping my eyes open in the pawn shops and yard sales. One will eventually turn up. Happy new year everyone.

I bought a Pittsburgh 3/8 ratchet for the shop I was working for at the time (expensed it) cause they didn’t have a working set. And I was very surprised on how smooth it was. I greased it up with some super lube and it was golden. My only gripe is that the handle is noticeably lighter than the head so it was a little off balance but man for 25$ with a set of sockets? You can’t beat that for just needing something to get by.
