You called me out on my post and you are 100 percent correct! Let me explain though, for whatever it's worth..
I admit that I got lazy when I made the post and assumed that the 3/8" HF and Snap-On versions of this ratchet are as similar to each other as the 1/4" versions. Well, they are not, however the 1/4" drive HF version that they offer now is different than the version that I based my claim on. I purchased the 1/4" drive HF version that is in my possession right now in 2011, and it has 72 teeth and is a very similar size to the current Snap-On version. The version offered by HF now has only 42 teeth. I don't recall if I held both in my hands at the same time in 2011 and thought they were identical, or if I handled them at different times. I am going to assume that I held them at different times and came to that conclusion when in reality they are just VERY similar.
