SK tools
I just bought another flex head ratchet.
It is a SK Tools 40972,bought for 39 bucks at sears.
I have Snap On too they feel almost the same
So how many ¼ ratchets do you have?
I have like 10 ¼ ratchets, 10 of 3/8 drive. And about 6 of the ½

...and I just got an SK 91813 1/4" metric set. The chrome is like a jewel. Probably not as heavy duty as yours, though.
But no, it's not an addiction. I can stop at any time. Just as soon as I buy the next tool.
Good luck,

I used to have a nice SK long flex head 3/8" ratchet that I used everyday until the pin that holds the head on fell out and got lost,turned it in for warranty but the new one isn't as nice not as smooth and it is hard to get sockets on and of and if it is a short socket you need to pry it off with a screwdriver. I just use a standard Snapon now both in plastic and metal handles and I have a long handle 3/8" with the plastic grip for more stuborn bolts,the same goes for 1/4" and 1/2" drives.All I use is Snapon ratchets anymore but have a drawer full of other brands for repair missions that might cause the loss of life for a ratchet

Yeah, I use My SK for most things, but if I need an impact (pounding the ratchet with a 28oz ball pein) I use the Craftsman ratchets.
You just needa brake in the new SK ratchet. Start using it more. It'll get the new feel off it eventually.

I love my SK tools. I have an old 1/4" drive set. It has label on the inside where Junior Johnson is recommending SK Wayne tools. I sometimes find some nice vintage SK on eBay. Unfortunately I have had that 1/4" set since they were new back in the 60s...makes me old!
