A few weeks ago i visited the Hazet factory and bought these new Ratchets, i saw the 1/2" made from forging the white hot steel to pressing the handle on and boxing.
I wanted the best as i am so sick of the cheap junk that seems to be the new acceptable standard and i don't care for the shape or finish on Snap-On although the quality is excellent.
All parts are replaceable, the teeth and handle are readily available for a reasonable price, the handle is $2 for all models and the tooth set is about $20.
The 3 X 3/8 are regular course tooth, same but with flex head and 72 tooth fine tooth.
The 1/2 and 1/4 are course tooth.
The Wera was bought at a local German store for about half the cost.
The quality is amazing, these are so smooth with no play in the tooth set, they are really comfortable to handle.
