StahlwilleSTW415SGQR 1/4-Inch Drive Ratchet Quick Release - Silver

Très haute qualité. Meilleure que cela dans le coffret. J'ai fait un video de revue sur YouTube 'Stahlwille & Koken 1/4" Ratchet & Extensions Review'.

I'm difficult to impress when it comes to my choices for ratchets.The Stahlwille 415 ratchet comes in at a close second to being my favorite 1/4" drive ratchet.Part number 11111030, basic steel handle by choice, quick release because I had to, reverse selector toggle by choice. Bought for under $50 USD and shipped out of Australia to the United States, fast and easy.The Stahlwille 1/4" rat had the upper hand for smooth ratcheting action and clicks (tooth count of 80?), And it's smooth handle is appreciated over the old knurled classic S-K round head.Popped on a socket and gave the stahlwille 100+ rotations in each direction to work any excess lube around to it's appropriate location.All in all, it's an excellent ratchet, and if the plastic anvil and gear cover, and plastic green QR button can hold up to the ravages of time, I'll be pleased.And why is it only my second favorite?The Cornwell TR-301 fits better in the hand.The Cornwell TR-301 is easier to open up and service and clean, without risking dorking a spiral spring retainer.The Cornwell and the S-K both have slightly less back drag (although the Stahlwille is smoother and consistent).The Stahlwille Quick Release button can't be depressed wearing a glove; in fact, I have to use the corner of my thumb to depress that magic green button far enough to release or accept a socket.And, the last reason the Stahlwille came in second; where do I go to handle a warranty issue? Or buy a rebuild kit?I did select Stahlwille specifically for several reasons:Top notch reputation for their hand tools, including excellent ratchets.Bare handle, coke bottle shaped, no knurling.Toggle reverse selector for one-hand operation.Rebuildable/serviceable, should the need arise.And I should mention I put the selection of the Stahlwille 415 up against the following brands for a new ratchet purchase:ProtoMACSnap-onNeproHazetS-KCornwellFacomGeodoreWrightWilliamsKleinSo, check back in with me in ten or twenty years on the plastic bits, and maybe the back drag will soften up just a bit to surpass the S-K and the Cornwell, and maybe, just maybe I'll have trained myself to use the QR feature more expediently.All in all, the Stahlwille 415 rat is a nice upgrade to my tool boxes (I bought two rats, plus it's bigger 435 brother in 3/8" drive) after a quarter century of wrenching and figuring out what I like (and don't like) in a ratchet.
