Gearwrench 1/2" ratchet, and 3/'8" drive stubby ratchet

Postby BiggSean on Tue Apr 22, 2008 2:56 pm

Since I've been so happy with their products up until this point, I decided to go ahead and try out a couple of GearWrench's ratchets. I purchased a flexing 3/8" drive stubby (model 81212) for $34.99, and a high polish 1/2" drive (model 81304) for $40.79, both from Amazon.com. Both of these ratchets have what appears to be a fine, 60 tooth mechanism, similar to what's found in the Craftsman next generation line of ratchets, and a full polish finish. These ratchets were made in Taiwan for Danaher according to the label. Anyways, they seem to be very high quality, and rival my Craftsman next generation low profile ratchets in term of operation. But enough of my BS, here are the pictures:

Here's a comparison between the 1/2" Gearwrench, and 1/2" Craftsman Next Gen ratchet:

And here's a comparison between the 1/2" GearWrench, and my dear sweet precious Snap On F80 3/8". Notice a resemblance anyone?
