Craftsman Ratchet Wrenches

[dlundblad]

My dad has an Ace set who's 10mm wrench has done that since new. It just needs some finagling.

I am very impressed with my HF set I bought for $16 and some change. Very durable and can take the beating of a hammer. Its more than good enough for me.

My "go to" 3/8 ratchet is a Master Mechanic composite piece bought probably 15 years ago. For 1/2 its actually two - for regular use it's a Wright old timer with the knurled handle and for applications needing more torque it's a HF extendable.

The best grease I've found for the internals of ratchets is Kluber Microluble GBU-Y 131. I use it at work and it works very well.
