Ron,Ratchet wrenchs are a take off on double ended ones from years ago. I used the doubled ended ones back in the USAF in the late 60/early 70's. They are definately handy in a few places on a car or other things.

I like the fact they have a switch to reverse the wrench without have to turn them over.I have short kinda fat hands.------------------

I just have (2) - 3/8" and 7/16" combo, + the 1/2" and 9/16" combo. Mine are both off-set's, and have the reversible mechanisms on them. I don't know how I got along without them for so long. They have come in handy so many times since I have had them, they will always be a staple in my tool boxes from now on.

I won a full set of standard and metric ratchet wrench's at a car show this year. I was real happy with them as I was looking at getting a set, but this set is a full and complete set and alot better than the one I was looking at, I could not afford this one. This one is a snap-on set  JOHN ------------------

I haven't use mine since I had one slip internally and rip the holy hell out of my knuckles. That was years ago. They're in the very bottom of my tool box now. ------------------

Steve...the newer ones are much better. I have the Crescent brand for work, and I've wrenched on them pretty hard with no slips.I love 'em.

This is this first I've heard anything bad about them.My brother inlaw uses them a lot and has not had any break yet.Thanks for the warning Steve. ------------------

Most of these wrenches (KD) are from over the pond (TAIWAN), and their price usually reflects this. CRAFTSMAN are made here as I am sure SNAP-ON are also. If anyone knows where CRAFTSMAN sources theres (stamped MADE IN USA) please let me know.A brand (ARMSTRONG) is made in CHICAGO but this is professional grade and the price reflects it. -ARMSTRONG TOOLS- ------------------
I am looking for information concerning factory performance/aftermarket speed parts (1958/1960) used on the MEL (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) (Also Thunderbird 59/60) Engine Series (383-410-430-462) produced from 1958 thru 1968. Also older FORD Special Service Tools -MEL Engine Forum-
