gathered them together. had to id some with tape, so they'd go back where they belong. i forgot my 1'' set at the job site, along with a few others. torque wrenches and ratcheting torque adapters, refrigeration ratchet (that's another thread), and prehistoric type not included.

listed by size, 1/4 thru 3/4. no harbor fright. 1 gearwrench.

A wall FULL of screwdrivers, this MASSIVE display of ratchets, I'd ask to see your wrenches but I don't have all day to go through a thousand pictures of all your wrenches that I'm sure you have!! Lol very nice, I love seeing your collection.

I had an s-k ratchet similar to that and I hated using it. I traded it to my dad for a regular flex head ratchet that I used far more. 

 

They're awkward because they want to twist...but I can see where it would be really handy. I get by with regular ratchets, U-joints and extensions but I'm also not a professional mechanic.

At the time it was my only longer ratchet and like you said it always wanted to twist. I've gotten by without it fine so far.

Thanks, Mike!

 

To everyone else, I know what it is, I just didn't know what it is, LOL. My next Snap On ratchet is likely to be an FBF80 (I think) 3/8" flex bent handle. If only Gearwrench would come out with an XP120 bent handle, instead of the 84 tooth that they have now.

I think this is all of them.... maybe.

Turns out that I was talking out my butt... I realize I don't have any of my Snap On rats in there, plus, I just bought a couple of Wright 3/8" ratchets, a 3425 and a 3480. Photobucket is down for maintenance or I'd hang some pics of the shiny new goodness...

Yup. Wright apparently started making them again for military mechanics in the Sandbox when their 'sealed' ratchets got gummed up. Available in 3/8" 3480 (shown) and 1/2" 4480.
