alright chaps,
recently knackered my stanley 'microtough' ratchet 1/2" and managed to lose my halfords 1/2" ratchet - fine tooth thing & I could do with a nice set of 1/2, 3/8 & 1/4 ratchets since my others are starting to show wear on the mechanisms too.
I like the normal 'pear drop' shape type ratchet, quick release buttons for preference - usually I'd just pop to halfords & get their 'pro' stuff since it's lasted rather well for me previously but I'm not averse to spending money on tools so want to find out if the big names are worth the investment - snap on / facom etc or if there's any of the other manufacturers that are worth the buy.
if anyone's got any reviews or suggestions, that'd be good - I'm what you'd call probably the heaviest side of DIY use, so not after scrimping but not wanting to waste money on big names either if they're not going to perform.
cheers
