Horrible freight ratchets are literal shit tier, the flex heads don't even have detents in them and they all loosen up and flop around like they shit they are. Even shit like gearwrench is leagues better.

How good are the rachets in the tool set on the right? I know their regular ratchets are pretty crap but do the job. Everytime I used the ones on the right they felt nice but even cheaper somehow.

ratsch ratsch ratsch, so does the ratchet too make "ratch" in english or were you to dumb to find your own word for it?

I'm going to start buying tools, as all I have is a few sockets and a wrench from Craftsman. Everything else I need I barrow from my Dad. What brand wrenches and sockets are considered the best for working on cars?

Snap on dual 80 ratchets are far and away better than HF, but HF's latest crop of ratchets is decent and much nicer than craftsman which is probably the absolute worst ratchet you can buy.

The only decent craftsman ratchets are the 84 tooth thin profiles and they're awfully overpriced compared to the likes of gearwrench. Don't waste your money on meme tier old snap on ratchets though. Theyre just not that great. The dual 80 however is the fucking benchmark of modern ratchets.

My absolute favorite ratchet is the mac axis 90 tooth. That thing swings like warm butter.

>Wright tools
Very high quality, expensive but not ludicrously so, made in USA if that's important to you, somewhat limited selection, particularly with metric tools no automotive specialty tools

>SK
also US made, slightly more expensive than wright in my experience, better variety of tools over all, small number of automotive specialty tools

>Proto/Armstrong
Some products made in USA, more expensive than wright or SK, very wide selection, Proto makes specialty tools for automotive applications, not sure about armstrong

>Craftsman
Majority of their tools made in china or Taiwan, small selection still made in the US, widest selection of affordable US-made specialty tools

Armstrong, cman, and gearwrench are all made by the same people. There's no significant difference in quality.

Sk has been on the verge of bankruptcy for the past decade and they've changed owners more times than I can remember.

Proto is owned by sb&d who also happen to own mac tools. You will find very similar offering between the two. Mac cordless tools actually use dewalt batteries. Proto new 90 tooth ratchet was copied from the mac axis. Interestingly enough Stanley just purchased the can brand from sears.
