I have a mix of ratchets in my box... A few craftsman, a few Snap-ons, a Matco, and a few Macs.....
IMHO the craftsman sucks.... they do break and break alot.... this is the cheap little one you get in the tool sets...
I have one Mac that slips and I need to get it fixed but it has been around forever.
Never broke a Snap-on or Matco... In fact my Favortie rachet in the world is a very very worn Matco swivel head ratchet. 3/8 drive. The swivel is now what I call a flopper... It flops all over the place.... However this ratchet has been with me most of my proffesionaal Aviation mechanics life as well as working on whatever car I had and I just love it. I love the Snap-on 1/4 drive rachets as well.
I bought alot of my tools on ebay and in pawn shops to save cash.
I will always buy a name brand tool when I see it at a good price.
I do have a lot of crappy stuff but try to upgrade over the years.
Regards,
