Default HarborFreight Pittsburgh 72-tooth ratchet

What do you guys think about this ratchet? My dad has one and uses it all the time. I used it for a bit and it feels solid, ratchets very smoothly, and feels oddly well built for the price. The 72-tooth gear is awesome for tight spots.

Even though it's cheap it still has a lifetime warranty!

I think i'm going to pick a few up next time i go to HF.

I have the 1/2" version, and use it a lot. I'll probably pick up the other sizes as well...in general, I've been very happy with their ratchets.

I've had the 1/4" one for years...it's awesome. The bend sometimes is too much for tight spaces, so I use my craftsman professional fine tooth 1/4, but it's a nice wratchet otherwise.

I picked up the 3/8 and the 1/4 for less than $20 for both. The quality seems too good to be true for the price. I like them.

When we go out to the desert that will work well for the offroad race car.
