I need something like that. It's $38. Those are for 10 mm and 13
mm nuts. Could be larger. I don't need a directional switch.
Can you point me to other examples of those palm ratchets with one
flat side?
Any special names for that type of palm ratchet?
Thanks.

I would NOT recommend the HF thumbwheel ratchets. Ive had every single
one fail shortly after purchasing and using one. The mechanisms
inside...not so good.

One of the few things HF sells, that I do not recommend purchasing
for any type of useage.


Really? What breaks, the spring? Mine are holding up great, though I
don't use them all that often. The 3/8 is what I usually grab and it
hasn't skipped a beat in a decade.


The colored sockets...if kept in a tool bag and allowed to vibrate in
a moving vehicle...will wipe off all the color in a very short period
of time...along with the size markings.

The sockets themselves..Great!! Havent busted one yet and Ive abused
them badly.


I love their Pittsburgh laser-etched sockets. They're easy to read and
it doesn't wear off.
