I have purchased one HF ratchet, a stubby 3/8” drive that was one of their “high end” or more expensive models. It lasted maybe six months, used possibly 10-12 times, none of which stressed it significantly, it was used to spin off fasteners in areas with limited space, like the top bolt on motor mounts, after they had been broken loose.
The reverse lever has failed in that it doesn’t select the direction, you have to fiddle with it and maybe it will do the job, and the ratcheting action is sloppy as heck. No doubt internal failures, but I’m not buying another. -D > On Nov 18, 2019, at 8:29 AM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > HF wrenches are great, better fit and finish than Craftsman for half the > money. > When I did the brakes on the Jetta a few weeks ago I bought my first HF > ratchet.
