- This is the New J5450HTC precision 90 tooth Ratchet, a fairly new lineup from Proto. Since proto is in the Stanley Black and Decker universe this is going to be VERY similar to the newer Mac tools Axis Ratchets, but we'll have a look anyways!

Man ..... you are the KING of editing ! Your videos are top shelf my friend ! Holy smokes that is some awesome shots you did with that ratchet ! Makes me wanna go out and get one !! They should be paying you for this video !! Great job !
+Koon Trucking Thank You! Hey man what can I say besides I try to put my best foot forward, my mother always told me to never half ass it! So I usually go all in when doing reviews 👍 I don't think Stanly Black and Decker is going to be throwing me any money any time soon but I agree they should 😁 Thanks for watching!!!
Garnett-Tools well you did one hell of a job on that video for sure ! That was awesome ! You are on top of the game in video editing. Your skills are awesome as hell ! My hat is off to you sir ! I gotta step my game up !! Your crushing it ! Always like watching your videos cause they are awesome !
You better step up ur game Clay!! Lol... Just kidding. But ur right his videos are enjoyable and informative.
I think Proto should have made a replacement upgrade kit for their older line of pear head ratchets that go back to the late 1930's. There is many thousands of the older ratchets still in use today. I own 71 of them myself not counting my Plomb and P&C ratchets that share the same internal parts. If Proto could make a 90 tooth replacement kit to be fitted to the older ratchets, they would sell a lot of them and probably sell more of those than the newer ratchet.
I just got their 25" Black Oxide 90 tooth!
I'm a chiller mechanic and it's a beast! USA USA USA
Proto's handle is probably the best design of the high tooth count ratchets. Nice video!!
+Fedwrench Yes, this one takes it for sure but we're it not for the knurling I think SK would take the cake. The way the SK fits the hand is just... Its absolutely the most comfortable metal handle ever, but pound for pound, Proto wins for knurl and all their drive sizes are released already, hehe😂
Garnett-Tools you oughta try out a 1/2 drive nepros ratchet handle. :D
Proto ratchets
When I was a kid, all my buddies were using S-K tools. They were affordable, had a lifetime warranty, and were available at all the local hardware and auto parts stores. We were unaware of the Snap-On, Mac, or other "tool truck" brands because we weren't aware of tool trucks. All the stores were mom and pop types because the big multi-store chains hadn't become a thing yet, so they carried what would sell and that was S-K. Well, Proto tools were well known to us, but they were the "high end" that all of us aspired to but none of us could afford. Our dads had the Proto tools and occasionally one of the guys would borrow his dad's for a project, but this was rare. As a result, I really want one of these ratchets! The problem? I already have a full complement of ratchets from S-K, Craftsman, Snap-On, Mac, Vulcan, Easco, and Indestro Super. I don't need a ratchet. But MAN do I want one, especially after watching this video. Well - maybe there's room for one more in the box, Eh?
There sure is, especially when the upgrade gives you a high tooth count ratchet
Reminds me of the mental wrestling match I have when I'm looking at shoes 🤣🤣
Do I NEED them, of course not, have 25 to 30 pair of shoes at any one given time. Maybe there's room for 1 more pair in the closet!!
@@sophiasocal68 That really is the same thing. Every time I go to the box, I try to determine which ratchet is better suited to the job at hand. But, honestly, I could make do with just one ratchet. My wife has horses. I have one pair of barn boots. She has eight. Same thing every time. "Which boots should I wear today?" She asks. It really doesn't matter, but I guess it's fun to try and justify the purchases.
Ooh mama that knurling on the handle just sold it to me!! I’ve got the Nepros 90 tooth and a Stahlwille 1/2” so I don’t need this at all but the knurling pshhhh I’m a sucker for knurling.
I hate my stahwillie the faceplate coverings the gears are plastic and I can't find rebuild kits anywhere haven't had any issues and that flex looks sexy but I'm just waiting to have to throw them out can you even warentee them?
As always one of the best presentations on TH-cam. I've been interested in the flex head version of these ratchets but nobody seems to stock them, always drop shipped from the manufacture.
I always liked how PROTO ratchets have a decent size grip for an all steel ratchet.
That's something I like about the classic Craftsman teardrop QR ratchets.
Very nice editing and fantastic video man. I love that new handle on it. I wasn't gonna buy another ratchet, but man I'm tempted....lol
+Catloco's Garage Thanks👍 I just try to make each review suck less than the last one. I think I'm going to end up buying a couple of these.
It's a damn nice looking ratchet and you know the proto brand is gonna be quality but geez $200 seems a bit too high to me.
Just bought the flex head version from Napa for 135 dollars. I can't wait until comes in.
I have the 3/8" regular length and the 1/2" long-flex. Both are very good ratchets. I wouldn't recommend taking them apart because, as I learned too late, getting the gasket back into place is a son of a bitch.
+Aaron M I found that out as well but I figured out a cheap trick in the process! I put that front gasket in the freezer for about 15 minutes, it was a little easier to get back in after that😁 Do you have the Mac or Proto versions?
Garnett-Tools Wow, I wish I had thought of that! Thanks! I have the Proto versions. I'll share them on the GJ thread.
+Aaron M No problem, happy to help👍
That is a bad to the bone ratchet once again you come through for us I have used Proto a lot I have a lot of Proto Tools because as a industrial mechanic that's all they would provide for us and they stand behind their two thanks again for the video it is awesome keep up the great work
+Russ Navara Yeah those things are pretty awesome. I don't have many proto tools but I'm starting to get more of them. Thanks for watching 👍
I own a Proto but my fave ratchets are the Gear Wrench 120XP series. They’re buttery smooth with 120 teeth and lockup is great!
I was thinking of buying a proto and was just looking at them an hour ago.... Funny how ur video came up after I looked at proto... But I ordered mine after watching your video. Thanks!
Thanks for the New SK and New PROTO Ratchet reviews... I've have Many ratchets FAIL over my 38 years doing Auto Body... Even Snap On Fail
Dude, excellent quality video and eloquent voice over. I look at a lot of these tool vids and you do a great job.
I love Proto tools they have never let me down!
Have you tried out the 3/8 one?
Damn that is one beautiful ratchet..I don't have a 1/2 ratchet yet but this NEEDS to get in my box lol
Proto exactly built the same as Mac ratchet. The seal tends to fail a lot. Selecting lever same as Mac. Overall good ratchets.
Lee Spalla they have rebuild kits that dont use an o ring
Those mac ratchets were just horrible. I had a ton of them and I broke them so many times in a year I finally traded them back in
I have the long 3/8 drive Proto and have not had a single issue after all this time.
This ratchet along with the MAC version look to me, to have a similar design to the New HF ICON 90 ratchet. It would be interesting to compare the two.
The Mac axis 90tooth and icon feel identical to the feel of the gears spinning In the head. The icon may be a, tad easier turning. I compared them both side by side. I swear there the same exact internals inside. That's what it sure feels like. Now I paid 30$ for the 7.6in ICON. AND 96$ for the MAC axis! Go figure. Both are 3/8 drive
All you would have to do is open the Icon. I already showed the internals in this video, but I doubt they are the same.
I like the handle design on that ratchet better than most. The knurling is a nice touch and I, for one, prefer a hand-filling handle. I only have medium-sized hands, but I prefer my tools to have a lot of heft in hand. I'm the same with guitar necks. I much prefer the old-school baseball-bat necks versus the slim taper profiles. I also really like the gasket sealing on the head and I like the fact that even though is has fine teeth, the anvil/panel design is made for VERY positive engagement and high strength.
+Harley Adam Yeah I Love that knurling, it's just too good and it definitely gets a plus for 4 degrees and another for 17 tooth engagement!
Dang. Now I want this one too! I only wish you had shown the anvil turn while assembled and the cover removed so I could see the pawl in action. Nice job on the video!
+john4kc Sorry I didn't get that shot for you, but Thanks for watching!
Made in the USA is the best part.
Yes it most definitely is!
Good job showing all the internal details. I really like the handle portion, composites seem to get funky with chemical contact.
Thanks I try to dive in a bit deeper than others👍 I still can't get over how nice that handle felt, dare I say its the best feeling all metal handle out there.
You make selecting tools a lifestyle choice
Love the knurling ...long reach awesome..great vid👍
Thanks 👍🏾
When I was in the tool business most of our customers hated knurled handles! I have no idea who Proto sells to anymore? Used to me
Mostly to industrial. Not sold in stores or on the trucks. Just a Mac Tool ratchet with a couple of minor differences. Plumb tools have been gone for 50 years.
I love my Proto ratchets....mine are not 90 tooth version but tough as hell none the less. My favorites in no particular order are Proto Wright tool SK facom and Carlyle....gear wrench gets honorable mention. Armstrong was in there, but it seems like the availability isn't there anymore. Another great video thanks again
Yeah, its too bad about Armstrong. They had a very solid product line. Since Apex shut them down I've been kind of silently protesting Gearwrench by not buying any of it. Buying from their Asian outfit right after they shut their American one down just doesn't sit right with me. Thanks for watching👍
Garnett-Tools totally agree....you can still get some new old stock Gear wrench here and there. I recently purchased Napa roto ratchets that we're old school gear wrench....not Carlyle
SK dropped the ball when they dropped that knurling.
+Joe Hanson I think what SK did create is the most comfortable all metal handle ratchet available, but do do understand some would have rather had the knurling. Thanks for watching 👍
I bet, at some point SK is going to add knurling to their grips.
A little bit of knurling goes a long way. Have to wonder why industrial offerings often have knurling you could grate cheese on. Not expected to get all day use maybe. I doubt I'd yank all day on my old SKs. With appropriate bite maybe mechanics would be more likely to use it. Chosing good knurling is not hard.
How long till you guy's figure out S K tools are no longer, gone, defunct, out of business.
Huh? sktools.com
Beautifully shot video, I just orders some proto ratchet wrenches. Can’t wait to try them out.
+Mark Alkire Thanks Mark! Let me know how it goes.👍
Great video Jaren. You should be compensated for this review. 🔥👍
Your editing is top notch!
+Rob's Wrenches Thanks 👍 I'm just trying to get better and better as time goes on. Thanks for Watching!
Great info, I'm always quoting you on tool history. Last pawn shop I got a C Walters Germany 13mmX17mm dbl box end wrench. Any history on that? Got it for .25 BTW
I have a Proto ratchet from 1957 and was still able to buy a rebuild kit I should have bought an extra one is I'm sure now though be discontinued
Definitely on the to get list. Ill price the difference between Mac and Fastenal. Thanks for the video. Like the way you get into it. And give the pro's and con's.
Yeah, I try to do that with almost every actual review I do. I just know its the information I would want were I looking to buy anything, but Thanks for watching👍
Nice to see. This has me considering the medium length 3/8” unit. Though it would cost as much as most of my 3/8” ratchets combined.
Very nice Garnett thanks for showing us this beast
+John Gibson No problem John 👍 I kind of have a thing for showing stuff other channels wouldn't bother of. Thanks for watching!!!
I like that Knurled Handle its a Really Nice Ratchet I’m Sold I’m Getting one With my Christmas Cash 😎😀😃 Garnett thanks For the Thorough Review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👨🏼🔧
No problem man! these are some nice ratchets
MERICA GLORY.... great video Garnett.
+David Young Thanks👍 Merica! f-yeah!
Looks like nice thanks for the video.
nice rachet, and man thanks for that honest review!
That thing borders upon jewelry, you're going to feel sick scratching that up putting it to work. . . Very nice.
+Snap-off It isn't mine but I did feel bad putting those micro scratches on it 😢
It's a looker alright. Great handle, love the USA and flags on it but for $155 it should be perfect and it's a shame it's not. Even the old school Craftsman ratchets had a big beefy switch that was assertive going left or right. No in between. Not sure why so many companies put that small wimpy switch on instead. Especially at this price.
I have an old school 70s era proto 1/2 in drive socket 3/4 inch. Blew the side off trying to break a 150lb bolt thought I busted it lose. Nope!
Sometimes they just give up the ghost like that
Why do people use ratchets as breaker bars?
Great video thanks my friend. I like my old 3/4in Proto wratchet. I have abused it bad through the years. I do take it apart and clean it and lube it every now and then. I like the looks of the one you just showed. I just might have to get one. Thanks again for the great video see you in the next one
I did a video on refurbishing the 3/4 proto I just got: th-cam.com/video/inIizi3htPE/w-d-xo.html
+Scott Pearson Thanks👍 In general 3/4 drive ratchets hold up pretty well just due to the bulk they have. Just make sure you check the prices on toolsource first, they're the cheapest.
Damn that's one of the nicest looking ratchets.
It sure is! Ill be picking one up for myself in the near future.👍
Awesome Review, your always getting the newest stuff
+Roof Repair Techs Thanks man, I try to stay on top of things but it doesn't always work out. Plus while everyone else is paying attention to Snap-on, I'm looking at the little guys. 👍
I have always liked Proto tools! Good stuff!
Another killer review. I don’t need another damn ratchet. But I really want this one!!!
Same company but I prefer the Plomb ratchets, sockets, and wrenches over proto
Jason Montell plump has been out of business for, what?50 years?
Jason Montell where will you find Plumb tools? Never sold well and have been gone for MANY years!
Plomb is Proto. They just changed the name because another company was using it. I have an old Plomb ratchet and a new Proto and the ratcheting mechanism is the same thing. Even the part number on the the old Plomb tools is the same on the new corresponding Proto tools.
These are nice but where do you buy them?
I like your in-depth reviews. Also your finger nails look like mine.
I really liked the look of the proto ratchet
You should diffently contact Stanley black and decker to do there TH-cam commercials for there hand tools. You would kill it in the tool vid game. On the next level. Make it happen!
+matthew placencia Ha! I wish. SBD is so out of the loop when it comes to reviews on TH-cam. If they sent out more tools from their hand tool lines to reviewers they would definitely be more popular. Just seems like the only brand they care to do that for is Dewalt.
Do you think the spring that holds the pawl will be the piece that fails in the ratchet, or do you think they designed it that way so that the teeth and pawl can be disconnected and keep from shearing teeth at too high of a torque application?
I think the design does prevent tooth damage just due to the pawl. Yeah, its 17 teeth but think about the amount of the circle that pawl is holding on to. From on to off there's only about a 1/4" travel meaning this thing has probably got the most well designed pawl-gear combo because the force can be spread across a larger surface area.
If you watch AvE's channel at all he actually showed how this fails (shears the anvil) because the internals of this ratchet and the internals of the Mac Axis ratchet are one and the same.
The mechanism looks like a DeWalt and Craftsman ratchets put together so I'm guessing global materials but assembled here
"Assembled" and "made" have two different set of criteria when it comes to the FTC. Even using "Assembled in America" has to have some USA parts or content. When it comes to "Made in USA with global components" the product still has to have a majority of the parts made in USA.
Hi sir fine post, Napa has proto on sale this quarter, first quarter 2018 they look very nice
Looks cool
Excellent review. Thank you.
Kinda odd that both the Proto and the SK didn’t have any grease in them
Good job dude. Subscribed.
Great video well done with a lot of information. As with other tool reviews you go deeper into the ratchet instead of saying this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
The problem with Mac tools is that there is often a Proto version of the same tool available a bit cheaper.
+CarEnthusiast Yeah, on this the Mac version is only a few dollars more, but I'd say save those few dollars and get the one with the sweet knurling.
What's a teef?
Probably going to have to make room for another ratchet lol
+gmlover82 Me too! But I can never have enough ratchets!!! 😁 So I'm just going to rotate some out for home and some for backups.
I gotta have it
+Gary C Get ya some!👍
It is basically a re-branded Mac aside from the knurling.
+Andrew Hutchinson or maybe the Mac is a re-branded Proto aside from the knurling.
I rather have the snap on flex 1/2 and my thought is anything 80 teeth and above are fine but for a 1/2 a snap on 80tooth with do great. But yes it is a very nice ratchet and I would buy over a Mac axis
+matthew placencia Just for the handle, this over the Mac version all DAY! Now that SK, Proto and Snap on all have fine tooth options, if you didn't have a 1/2" ratchet which one would you choose?
looks like a icon ratchet
This definitely came way before those were even thought about
Excellent review......keep up the good work
+morgan roberts sr Thanks Morgan, I most definitely will!!!
Great review!
Sweet video.
I'm happy with my 1/2 drive, 25" long flex head (MAC version).
+ChrisCas aka Superautobacs Thanks Bacs! That is one serious Ratchet. I can't even go that big because it won't fit in my box😢
I thought you have a mobile box that was....maybe 41" wide? ....but chances are you have other toolboxes to play from. There's always telescopic ratchets from say, Hazet and Facom.
+ChrisCas aka Superautobacs Naa it's 30" wide measuring the outside drawers are 22" wide but I store all my ratchets vertically on the side in the prybar holes. I tried a 25" prybar once; the lid to the cart wouldn't close, but with flex head being an option it might just work.
Garnett-Tools yeah, the flex-head just might allow for it to close. You'll love it. Ever since getting it, my 24" ko-ken breaker hasn't seen day light.
Excellent Review! New Sub!
Good Video Keep them coming!
+bryan916 Thanks 😁 I will👍
Great video!
Nice brand,but not available in the Netherlands..
Sorry to hear, if I might ask, what tool brands are available in your area???
@@GarnettTools Oh,we also have a lot,but not so much the quality- "nice-looking" brands you have in America. Like Tekton, GearWrench, Carlyle, Capri,Crescent,Duralast Channellock, Icon,Mac,Matco etc.
Yes of course we have SnapOn,it's in every country.
Professional; Beta,Bahco(some), Draper,Gedore,Facom,Hazet,Knipex,Midlock(special automotive tools)Sonic,Stahlwille,Usag,Wera, etc. And SnapOn
DIY;
BGS,Bahco,Mannesmann,Draper, Laser,Silverline and many hardware store housebrands.
Probably i forget some brands and maybe there is more in Germany,England and France(bigger countries,more people).
I'm not a big fan of the proto tools. I have them at work. I feel that they are very over priced. They don't last if you use them every day. I have craftsman tools that are older and have lasted better than the proto tools. But that's just me. I personally like to have a too that if I do brake it that I can easily have a place to get another one with not having to go find a tool truck or a long drive just to replace it. So I take that in consideration when I get tools. I am a mechanic. But more and more tools are guaranteed now. So it's a lot better than years ago. All the parts store's sell tools now and most of these are guaranteed to,and are great quality to. Some don't have a great selection but thay do have some good ones that are handy to have. I have a great stubby wrench set from auto zone. Had it for 11 years working great and it has a lifetime warranty on it and it wasn't very expensive. Love your videos.
I prefer quick release ratchets
Wow, but after you mentioned the price, how does it compare to an Apex (Gearwrench, Low profile Craftsman, Husky) with a similar pawl design? This seems quite a bit more expensive.
Of course it is, its made in USA, where those other ones are made in china or taiwan.
yep...
+Nicholas Smerk Yes, this is going to be quite a bit more expensive than the others you mentioned but keep in mind Proto is geared towards the industrial side of things and it's also made in USA. You can have a look at AvE's video to see how this stacks up against the others because the Proto is identical to the Mac one he tested: th-cam.com/video/KesUkDx-7LI/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, I forgot he tested that one. I like Proto, but at that price, ehh. I passed up a couple Williams 1/2" ratchets the other day at Hamilton's that I should have put in my stash for next to nothing.
Great review
would you recommend the flex head 1/2 inch?
Absolutely! I only currently own the 3/8" but the 1/2" I borrowed for this video felt sturdy as hell.
Damn I'm torn between this the sk or a snap on comfort grip.. do not own a comfort grip yet
+chris jones if they have ironed out the kinks I'd say go for the SK, it's all around cheaper and still made in USA, that is unless you want comfort grip you'll be waiting 30 years for that from SK.
Garnett-Tools what were kinks in the sk? Just wondering what to look for or avoid. If not I think I'll go with a half in flex head comfort grip from snap on.. feel like I just did my red Ryder BB gun speel for Xmas 😂
+chris jones It seems the first run of them(including mine) had an issue with locking up. Even one of my subscribers had the issue and returned twice. I was able to make it go away in mine for the most part by adding oil but it still locks in place every once in a while.
Garnett-Tools well might have to get my 1st proto tool then and hope it's better than the sk. Thanks for response
Nice review
Does it have two pawls?
Nope. One pawl, 17 teeth
Great vid!
+Eric Hatchett Thanks 👍 I appreciate it!
I just got the 1/4 and 3/8 version and am very unimpressed.....
Why?
👍
I found out NAPA has the best prices locally on these ratchets! check out my recent sk and wright pliers n ratchet vids!
Nice video friend! You deserve a better camera, so you get better focus.
Very sleek. Way out of my price range, but very sleek.
Yeah its a bit close to the price of a Snap-on but I like this one better.
I'm going to need a bigger tool chest.
I like it and want one
fuzzy wuzzy yeah but they cost as much as snappy ratchets which is a good and bad thing.
Lmao me too! I think I am gonig to buy one for myself.
I already looked into that, the Snap-on equivalent costs $175 and is 2 inches shorter. But lets assume you can get both for $155, The snap-on is still 2 inches shorter, has 10 less teeth and no knurling.
nice vid...it was dry inside iam shocked!
+J Daman No it had grease in it already, you can kind of see it piled up on top of the gear teeth of the anvil.
Another instance of "made in USA" That makes this basic hand tool more expensive?
And more quality.
Also, SUBSCRIBED. Somehow I thought I was already
It's nice
lookin good but 206$, god daaaaamn
+Rayan M. Hamid Should be $155 from Tool Source.
Its to bad that the Proto is priced higher then Mac.
+sevtchevelle I just checked, the Mac version of this is like $7 more. Considering the lowest price I found on toolsource.com
that looks like a meaty design.
Good vid
+BMW MASTER TECH Angelito Thanks!
USA made!
