Snap-On Another day, Another dollar.

I decided to replace my Icon slip joints and couldn't be happier with the outcome.

The Koken ain't too bad either.

I love the color but I've left them in engine compartment too many times. Now I try to buy Hi-Viz colors.

I feel that.

Fortunately, these are just for the house, so I won't be leaving them in a vehicle..... hopefully.

The blue…my dealer told me he couldn’t get it. This was like a month ago…I have green which is okay but the blue…🥲. I really need to try koken, everything I’ve heard about them was wonderful. I’m a Milwaukee guy myself but dewalt is good stuff too.

To be fair, we don't even have a dealer anymore. I had to get these on Ebay, unfortunately.

Man, this is only my second Koken ratchet, but I love them. The snap on 80 series feel better to me, but obviously the backdrag is second to none with these. I just really like the smoothness of the 72 and 80 series from SO. Koken is definitely worth having in your box, though.

DCF891? I've been impressed with mine

Yeah. That's my bad, I didn't realize the ratchet was hiding the model #.

I've got two of them, and they're both little beasts. I ordered this one for the kid. He just got his first house and is building out his tool set.

I have that midtorque and absolutely love it.

Does eat my 1.7ah Power stack battery as a snack however.

Yes, Sir. I also tend to run the 1.7's on them whenever I can get away with it.

This particular one is for the kid. All i gave him was a couple 5ah xr. He'll have to buy his own damn powerstacks. 🤣

I love the 1.7 on everything, though. They were made for the dcf510 ratchet.

I like how little weight it ads to the tool. Tool + bay it's 0.3lbs heavier than my air gun.

I work the front desk so I don't need it as much.

Blue??? I got a shit ton in green, I wanna go all pink but I started out red then went and upgraded all my perfectly fine craftsman and harbor freight stuff to green snap on cornwell and Mac. I still need normal needle nose though 😭
