    I have the Tekton 1/4 and 3/8 drive. I believe it is ‘identical’ to the Pittsburg or Icon. They have been great for over a year now

    Carlyle is pricey at NAPA but looks good. Test it out would be interesting. Low back drag matters a lot on 1/4" stuff as often they are used in hard to access places.

    I've always preferred the hard plastic handles. The Genius handle reminds me of Snap on's handle. The Mac handle like you installed on your other ratchet was my favorite. It provided a comfortable grip.

    • @thingsmen
      @thingsmen  7 месяцев назад +1

      I would have to agree with preferring hard plastic handles. The MAC handle is my favorite.

    I am a big fan of roto ratchets, I have had the Pittsburgh set for years with our any issues. I have been looking to upgrade recently. I would say, if I could afford the snap on 100t long handle roto, I would buy that, but it is out of my league. I think I'm gonna just go with the Icons.

    • @thingsmen
      @thingsmen  7 месяцев назад +2

      I think the Icon would be a solid choice. Like you I use my Roto quite often. Definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for commenting and please consider subscribing.

      @@thingsmen I order 2 from Northern Tool, they are there house brand Klutch (3/8"+1/4") both 11 inches long and both the heads are 1/4" drive size 72T, made in Taiwan, they are pretty decent. Then I order 3 ratchets from Amazon Japan. KTC -brsw3l, 3/8" 300mm long 72T, very nice and also from TONE tools- rh3vhw 3/8" 245mm 144 position very nice and also from TONE rh2vhs 1/4" 150mm long 144postion . The Tone ratchets have a locking mechanism where you can lock the piston of the head. They are all roto head ratchets. The Tone are very nice but I think the switches are made of plastic( I did not like this). The KTC and the 3/8 Klutch are very similar, but the KTC is made in Japan and higher quality. I left the part numbers if you Google them you should be able to find them.

    I'm looking at buying a different Genius Tools ratchet, because I like that type of hard handle, I'm not interested in paying Snap-On prices, and Tekton isn't available here in the UK.

      I agree. Everything I have purchased from Carlyle is Really Nice and comparable to any Tool Truck brand. I Love MAC & Snap-on, but Carlyle is same quality with Lifetime warranty and NAPA has stores in every city and NAPA is great about warranty process.
