I was looking at another brand American made used ratchet I wanted to buy the other day. As I turned it through the clicks, I could feel it skip a few, so I passed on it.

Looking at my Dad's SK-Wayne set, they are very $$$$ but appears just like what I have in two different sets plus extras... granger.com sells them.. I'd guess I'd spend $3k-$4 on the set of my Dad's today... I have a 20 years old small socket set I carry in my car which are Craftsmen -they are very good as well.
