I've broken a Proto.

Ive broken every brand ratchet I’ve ever owned... some are just easier then others.

@snoranger see my previous post.

The one I broke today was a noname special that I got free over 15 years ago. So I would say it earned its place.

Breaking that one pissed me off. Nice flex head ratchet. Didn't even have a cheater pipe on it.

The HF icon brand is reportedly snap on.... Have one of their breaker bars, ratchets, and torque wrenches. So far, so good.

The older kobalts have been good to me as well. New black oxide ones put a few scars on my knuckles over bad gears. I'd avoid.

Honestly, I'm amazed mine is still on this side of the recycling bin.

It's lived its life being beat on by 6lb sledgehammers and being Chuck Norris kicked while stabbed in to a port plug (blasting cap access plug on the side of shaped charge carriers). They occasionally get jammed and won't thread out, mostly due to having explosives go off behind them. To date, 8 years, 1000s of port plugs and hasn't skipped a beat.

I'm hell on tools, and it's because I "abuse" some.

.....or because nobody builds crap that can stand up to oilfield use. Idk.





But, this is why I buy midgrade crap, run it hard, and replace when needed. You wind up with winners and losers. So it goes.

I actually own one of these... I’ve never used it. It’s the ultimate “abuse” tool. It’s got a built in hammer.

I like that...

I like to pack tools in my truck box that have multiple uses.

Remember where you got that?

Tractor Supply...
I keep it in the tool box on my SxS. Multipurpose tools are great for keeping the weight down.

@Ranger850 a ratchet was not the proper tool for that job, but I guess you know that now.

Glad you got it taken care of.

Yes sir. I knew that when I picked it up. I decided something was going to break. I figured it would me the moving parts.

Sold a door off of it yesterday for $55. Made 1/5 of my money back already.
