I reach for the Nepros 3/8” drive before anything else. The nicest ratchet to use in my tool box.

Do whatever floats your boat. I can get "the best" at a great discount too. The problem is sometimes the best really isn't the best anymore, and can slip to an overpriced tool. Those comments aren't directed to any one brand of tool, it applies to several brands including many of the battery powered tools being offered today.
I cant say which ratchet or any other tool in my box is the "best" only which ones I like the most. The Nepros is certainly one of them but so is the Snap on dual 80, Williams S-53A round head, Carlyle flex heads, Stahlwille 80, Hazet 90, the G2 is becoming a go to also and there are others, the point is they are all really good tools, fit and feel good in my hand which makes it nicer to work with them.
Good rebuttal. I should have worded differently, now changed.
Good for you. My point was these costs can be deducted bc of tax laws- not which one is the "best'. It's just that sooo many ppl complain about SO costing sooo much but not really. I like SO bc lots of times they can get into tight places where others can't. Lets not forget their resale value when its needed on retirement. Everybody wants them
Sadly, us garage warriors don't get to deduct the price of our tools. I'm not above Harbor Freight, but when wanting some new ratchets recently, I bought a Kokan and two Olsa flex heads. Don't hate me, but Olsa rated well when tested by Project Farm, and they are beautiful pieces in hand. Feedback suggests they are similar or same as the sometimes maligned SK LP90's. Fingers crossed on that front.
