I am really a big fan of fine tooth ratchets, so much so that I avoid using my Snap-On ratchets that aren't fine tooth. I have not tried the latest Snappy ratchets that are 100ish tooth, but their 80 tooth version gas been my favorite make and style ever since they were introduced. I trust them so much that I have yielded to using a breaker bar once in the last 15 years. Your Williams round head 36 tooth looks very much like the SK that came out around 1980. Those were 72 tooth and at that time were the ONLY really fine tooth ratchet on the market. I purchased three of those SK 72 tooth ratchets. They were my go-to ratchets until Snap-on introduced the 80 tooth pear head design. The handle is slim, the head is m small and its draw back is that it requires two hands to easily change directions. The reversing cap tended to shear off its cam pin, but so did the snappy round head versions. I own several of the Snappy round head fine tooth ratchets too, but I seldom use them. My tools had shifted to almost pure Snap-on, but I kept those three SK as my daily users for many years. They did have one other manufacturer error oddity. The central assembly screw loosened and the reversing function malfunctioned. Torquing this screw locked up the reversing function. I repaired my Sbappy version and saw blue locktite on the screw. I applied it to my SK ratchets, and problem solved! SK was USA made when I purchased my three long favorite ratchets. The old SK round head standard ratchet (36 tooth) was reliable, but the heads were large, and the handles fat. Craftsman had a finer tooth round head, quick release version in the 1970's. I don't recall if I owned any. I did own several of their pear head styles back then. The round head Craftsman was their premium style and was priced accordingly. I had moved on to premium tool brands before I was likely tempted to purchase the Craftsman. Your Matco that you keep showing for the pending giveaway is likely a real winner. I have its non flex mate. It is kitted in my portable 1/4" kit, that is exclusively Snap-on (with about 10 ratchets and virtually every style of accessory available). I grab that Matco over my beloved Snap-on almost every time. The tooth count, back drag, slim head and soft grip handle are winners for me. I don't know if that Matco is USA made, but it is a high performer. I like a ratchet feature that I have not seen you highlight. I call it upsizing the drive in the body of the smaller frame handle. I have Snap-on and Matco versions. These facilitate removing stubborn, but already untorqued hardware where space is confined. The triangular Snap-on palm ratchets are another worthy of mention option. You ought to do a series on socket accessories, extensions, universal and spring swivels, wobbles and dual function wobbles, screwdriver handle/extensions and ratcheting versions, speed handles, etc.
@M4C131 I still have my first 1/2" long flexhead v-series from the mid 80's. Bought it to work on our tractors and equipment. Was tired of putting a pipe on my dad's 11" Penn ratchet. Still got the Penn and it's still sweet as it was back then. I've cleaned & lubed that Craftsman maybe 3 times and it has never let me down. I've even stood on it trying to break loose bolts, it's never gave an inch. Already told my son that he better never sell that ratchet.
Thanks Jeff. Back in the 70s, I lusted after the Craftsman raised panel ratchets. When I started wrenching professionally, in the 80s the Snap On ratchets were so smooth, but fine tooth ratchets were not mainstream yet.
Your experience parallels mine, though it appears that I precede you by a decade. I pontificated on the SK 72 tooth while you were posting your comments. I purchased SK around 1980. I am long retired, and eventually my wrenching tools went almost exclusively Snap-on. I still keep my Proto, Armstrong and SK which were my intermediate steps to Snap-on. Along the way, I did pick up some Matco, but only one that I REALLY like. You might want to read my obnoxiously long comments. 😅
I did a vehicle inspection today and I used both a Kobalt and Milwaukee ratchet to remove some bolts. Both were very good and smoother than most Craftsmans that I've used, but I'd still go back to my Craftsmans as I'm so used to them.
Hi google i used craftsman ratchets more then any other brand at one time!!! there will always be a spot in my toolbox for them!!! thanks my friend for joining in and sharing!!!
The craftsman you can't get by itself, only via the two kits they released for liquidation. the ratchet is basically the USA version(body) of the 72T Taiwan, same size head and gear. They just updated the gear to a 90T, i have them and the gears interchange with each other.
That CM-45 was made in the 70's or 80's, by New Britain back when it was their brand before it became the Home Depot brand in the early 90's. NB was bought by Litton industries in the late 70's, then sometime in the late 80's got bought out by Stanley who ended up selling the Husky name to HD. The original New Britain husky ratchets are better than any ratchet to ever come out of Home Depot.
Nice bunch of ratchets That Craftsman ratchet you didn't care for is the same one ,in a 3/8 that. Broke All the time the Sears guy had a big box of repair kits for those ratchets I never broke any 1/4 Craftsman ratchets thanks Jeff
That's a nice Matco ratchet! I'm surprised you ain't passed 8 thousand subscribers yet. Good channel and good video's. Useful tool information. Thanks for the video.
I always struggle on you tube getting subscribers,but i keep doing it because of you guys that have subscribed!! spread the word to your tool buddies,this channel gives back,thanks my friend!!!
Great morning, Jeff. Great little video of little ratchets, lol. I love my 1/4" ratchets, so much so, i probably use them in some cases when i should grab a bigger tool. They are just so convient and usually the smoothest tool in the box. And they are so inexpensive comparatively that i have so many more of them than the larger brothers. Thanks for this video and take care my friend.
@@jefftovani5535it's coming my friend, in it's own time. Just a thought, we all know how awesome you are with your generosity, and we need no more proof. But, if you haven't bought the ratchet yet, let the subs vote on which color you give away or aven if it's a chrome or black chrome. Not sure if they cost more or not. Or you could let the winner pick the color. Just my brain rambling around as always.
The way that snap-on looks there reminds me of seeing a Ferrari sitting in line with a bunch of Volvos or something. That's probably one of, if not the nicest looking ratchets I've ever seen. I wish Icon would start cloning those. I believe they'd stay sold out.
Now you finally can say you have a New Britain made ratchet. Your Husky 1/4 ratchet was manufactured by New Britain Machine Company in New Britain CT. New Britain made round head ratchet variants used the Kilness patent mechanism. It is a strong mechanism with little back drag and a compact head design for a round head ratchet. They came in both 60 and 45 tooth versions with 45 teeth being the most common. The knurling on the handles is generally fairly good. Unfortunately round head ratchets fell by the wayside giving way to the slimmer pear head design. The pear head ratchets allow for one handed reversing as opposed to having to use two hands to reverse most round heads. Once the patent ran out on the Snap-on handle design, every manufacturer switch to copying the Snap-on handle in one form or another, abandoning the straight knurled handle. I have some New Britain made ratchets and reach for them from time to time. To me, the ratchet mechanism feels smoother than any of my modern fine tooth ratchets. A big shout out to Papa's Garage for sending you the ratchet. I think you'll find it to be one of your favorites! I hope the humidity isn't too bad up your way and your staying cool. Thanks again for all you do Jeff!
I am a fan of New Britain's round head ratchets to. I no longer have a ratchet with new Britain's name on it but I use to have a couple. Then l let someone barrow them and I never seen them again. But I do still have a 1/2 drive Husky and a old Mac that is made by New Britain and I still use them they have been good reliable ratchets. I like how strong they are for how small their heads and bodies are compared to other 1/2 in drive ratchets. Another good video my friend.
That Matco sent me down the rabbit hole to make sense of the Matco looking a bit like the previous gen locking Gearwrench. You got one of the very rare new US Made Craftsmans. I’d heard they existed, just haven’t gotten ahold of one.
Nice collection off 1/4" ratchets. I've got three 1/4" ratchets; an SK Wayne flex head, Easco, and New Britian all USA made. All of them are at least 40 years old and the SK Wayne is probably 50 years old. Clean and lubricate regularly and they will last forever. But that Matco with the locking flex head looks interesting; I have to tighten SK pivot regularly to keep it from flopping around.
Nice reviews. I have a pretty good selection of older 36 tooth craftsman’s and a few 30 tooth snap ones. They don’t get used too much anymore but I can’t seem to part ways with em😂. That Matco seems like a nice one for the arsenal.
@@hemi08911 I put everybody that has commented in a bingo cage,spin it around and pull the name of the winner out,so if 300 people leave a comment on a video I select there all put in,they all have a chance!!
And the winner is the Husky second place is the Williams round head cant believe i said that lol but its tough to beat New Britain's Killness patent the craftsman usa made with global products with all that wording on the plate just looks like graffiti lol thats just my opinion thanks again Jeff for another great review take care my freind
Did the CM-45 have the Kilness patent dual pawl mechanism ? I know the mechanism has been made in 1/4dr, but I know a lot of companies who have dual pawl mechanisms often didn't actually use it in the 1/4 offerings in the series. Wright doesn't and Indestro didn't, still great ratchets but sadly just not utilizing the dual pawl mechanism.
@TylerSnyder305 killness never adopted a dual pawl mechanism it's a floating pawl mechanism earlier variants was 60 tooth with 12 teeth on the pawl later versions like yours was 45 teeth with 9 teeth on the pawl
I have the non-USA, 72 tooth version of the Craftsman. I really like the form factor but it has a lot of back drag even compared to some lower tooth count models I've used in the past. I suspect they have an overly strong pawl spring to make up for the fine teeth and prevent slipping.
Some people might not like a low tooth count ratchet but it doesn't bother me. I figure that a low tooth count means larger teeth and, in turn, a more robust or tougher ratchet.
My Williams ratchets are USA made..☝️ Although these days I really like my Koken ratchets and my Hazet made in Germany ratchets..and of course my USA made SnapOn
Hard to go back to USA tools after the quality and workmanship of Koken and incredible Nepros.. has lifetime warranty that likely never be needed. Then again if they do break I've no idea how long warranty on them work..
When the imports stop being available, through embargoes, emergencies, etc., people MIGHT realize their mistake in sending manufacturing out of the country.
I love made in USA Craftsman tools but the older Sears made in China resale for double the original price wat is it about Craftsman that it doubles in resale u don't see that with other brands and I'm looking for a gold 3/8 ratchet made in China for the collection

I like those craftsman raised panel ratchets. It's what I grew up using so it just feels right to me. Yours needs a rebuild kit for sure!
Not necessarily. Most times a cleaning and relubing is all that they need to work like new again. I've done it dozens of times.
