Craftsman  3 pc. Full Polish Ratchet Set, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in. Dr.

I held off on buying these for a long time, since the Craftsman ratchets have shifted to overseas manufacturing from China and Taiwan, and I was worried I'd get a set of those. I took the chance due to a sale price and special offers, and was thrilled to receive what is probably one of the final run of USA-made sets. These are essentially just fully polished versions of the regular raised-panel ratchets, so they work about the same and just look nicer, clean up easier, and can be more comfortable in the hand if you prefer a round handle. I'd still prefer it if Craftsman ratchets had the metal direction switching lever rather than the plastic they've used for more than a decade now, but it works. Overall, a great set of ratchets, while the USA-made stock lasts.

sloppiest ratchets that i've ever used, they constantly switch when using. What ever happened to the Old Craftsman tools they at least would hold up to some ultamate abouse

These tear drop ratchets are great to work with. Something most people don't about with ratchets and tight spaces- can you put a cheater pipe on them! The roundness of of the handle, over the original rectangle style handle, works great with a smaller piece of pipe!! Which comes in handy in tight spots! I have bought several of these ratchets for different Tool boxes, and would definitely recommend these to weekend warriors and professionals

I bought this set of 3 rachets as an upgrade. They have held up well, and they are much easier to use than the bottom of the line Craftsman rachets, becuase they are rounded and easier to crank on.

Good set of ratchets that will hold up to general mechanical work. I am an automotive technician and I keep these as backup ratchet to my Matco set. They will work for me in a pinch but are not my prefered ratchet for professional work.

No issues other than positive ones. Works great.

These rachets are flawless! They look great, they feel great, and the perform! How can you beat the craftsman lifetime warranty? They are definatly tools that are worth polishing before being put away! I have gotten out of a few jams with these rachets too! Definatly buy!!!

I purchased these Craftsman ratchets because I knew that I would get great quality.  My only concern is the plastic inside and the switch lever.  I wish they were pot metal like they used to be.  I suppose I'll be able to purchase a rebiuld kit for these at any time.

Once I received them in the mail, I took them apart, wiped down what little oil was inside and greased them up!  Now they pur like a kitten.  I like the tear drop ratchets, but what ever happen to the old RHFT ratchets!  Fun to work with and fun to work on!

Other than the plastic in them, I wish that they were carried in my local store.  Added cost for shipping may deter some.

Solid and tough design. Not a fine tooth ratchet but very comfortable to work with.
