Best Ratchet Wrenches for the money The Husky ones look good and for 60 a set sound good too. They are smooth and have a stopper on them so they dont slide past the nut. Any other brands I should consider? Are the SO, Mac, and Matco ones really worth the price difference? Im a weekend warrior, I dont make money off my tools but with my history of always breaking **** they will get used quite a bit.

if you aren't going to use them everyday, and don't have direct access to a tool truck if one broke, stick with ones from Husky, or sears. I got mine from sears, gear wrench brand, and I do use them every day and have held up fine.

I have the Blue Point (division of Snap-on) metric and sae sets, total was a little over $300, not worth the price IMO. If I had it to do over, I would have gotten the GR and saved quite a bit.

I have GearWrenches and LOVE them. I didnt think that I would really have that much use for them until I owned them. I have cranked on them HARD(13mm) and not even a hiccup!
