He sent me this nice Blackhawk round head 1/4" ratchet for the cost or shipping, and it was well worth it for sure.
I really like it so far, but it is confirming that I do definitely prefer a pearhead or teardrop in 1/4"dr.
That's not going to stop me from using it for sure because I do like it on first impressions, I think I'm going to put it in my main set where it'll best fit and the indestro will replace the craftsman in my garage set.
It was really stiff and just needed some lube so we thought, but it was actually whistle clean inside and it turns out the retention ring ( sir clip ? ) was putting two much tension on the mechanism and needed to be flattened a bit.
With that and the lube it's running pretty darn smoothly , the thumb wheel is easy to turn and it's not difficult to reverse one handed.
Btw Bman always packs things extremely well, that's something you don't always see especially with something that's just steel and probably couldn't get damaged in shipping.
Way to go on the excellent packing.
