![]() All of my combination wrenches are SK and I have these in stubby, regular and long. On the other hand if you're able to pick up a like new condition F80 in the $40 or so price range you certainly won't be disappointed with it. I'm know I've put my 1/2" HF breaker bar and extendable ratchet through things I fully expected would break them and it hasn't so. Are the Snap-on ratchets made better? Probably, but are they 4x the cost better? probably not. I know that sounds like blasphemy, but it's the truth as I have experienced it. In practical everyday use, if I were blindfolded and handed a snap-on ratchet vs a HF fine tooth ratchet, other than the on/off selector being backwards I probably wouldn't notice much difference. Of the 50 or so ratchets I own (yes it's an addiction) probably 1/2 a dozen of them are Snap-on, but I think I'd be disappointed if I ever paid full price for a Snap-on ratchet. The first being the hard handle instinct screw drivers which I still believe to be the best screwdrivers in the free world.
