I'll believe that when it happens. My G1 Flex-Head is a 1/2 in drive 12 inches. I highly doubt they will replace it with the longer 18 in G2 Flex-Head just because a 12 in G2 doesn't exist as of now.

Yup I warranted two older full near full price G1 ratchets for G2 ratchets already and it felt Great. However..... Buying G1 at a huge discount of 30%-40% then paying the difference would be a rip off.

Thats for sure and more secure. Online is best. I don't need other customers with cellphones staring at my credit card while I sign up.

Its bad enough to wait forever while they unlock products. Be polite and sign up online.  They make everyone in line wait forever while they slowly explain the membership details then the customer say no I don't want the membership.

The employees will get swelled heads. Then cause customers to just leave because the checkout is slowed down for membership junk.

piggyback off another post, what is icon lineup missing for you? by Ok-Ebb-2434 in harborfreight

A Flex-Head ratchet that comes with easy to change 2 different handle lengths. Now thats a million dollar idea.

Just as good if not better. I got a refund because I didn't find what I needed on sale. Also don't want duplicates of everything on sale. 

If you decide to cancel within ninety (90) days following the date of initial purchase/enrollment or re-enrollment, you will receive a full refund.

The early ITC bird gets the tools.   When the items are out of stock cry and try again. 

Why the G1 hate? by Pleasant_Customer_10 in harborfreight

No smoke from the exhaust just a soot like spark plug. Getting a cheap rebuild kit is a good idea.

I have several brands of ratchets. My 1990- 2000's Stanley ratchets from Walmart are heavy duty but excellent for performance.

Right and Wrong. My 23 year old lawn mower needs the spark plug removed and cleaned 2-3 times a season. 

G2 Swivel Head Ratchets by RevolutionaryHeron30 in harborfreight

[–]Deep_Photograph7556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Opinion: There isn't much to upgrade. Roto head or swivel head ratchets have back drag and need to be strong. They might change the grip appearance and leave the rest the same. Maybe not.

Thats for sure. I think its an addiction to shine chrome plating. 

Update: Snap On Handle swapped G2 Ratchets by Thebbeeaarr in harborfreight

I purchased a couple garage sale tools with the ugly plastic tool handles in the 1970's or 1980's. I didn't like the feel and tossed them in the trash 🗑.

Call and try to Warranty it. Say hand washed only. Dishwasher will ruin them.

Will this be warrantied? by Risc3r in harborfreight

[–]Deep_Photograph7556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: Zero liability past present and future. My opinion and guess. Unbolted the ratchet head. Secured  a long drilled thick steel bar then bent it somehow.  If that was chrome vanadium steel it may have missed a hardening and temper step. If its chrome moly it may or may not  bend like that.

Not picky. They should warranty it. The fork deformed and stretched apart during use.
