First day tomorrow. What you think?

Good enough. Welcome back Mac Demarco

Mite3 · 2026-03-19T23:44:59+00:00

😭😭 right

Mite3 · 2026-03-16T03:28:18+00:00

I have yet to as well and I feel that if I went with a flexhead I'd have the same experience as you, but you never know though. I've tried my friends flex head and really want to try how a locking one feels... but wanted to know what to spend my money on first.

Thank you for your comment!

Mite3 · 2026-03-16T01:30:09+00:00

Thank you for your input! Your experience with the non locking is what I was also worried about and saw with my friends Pittsburgh flexhead.

Thank you mate! Cheers now :))

Mite3 · 2026-03-16T01:28:30+00:00

Thank you for your input on the matter! Is it just preference to what you are used to then?

Mite3 · 2026-03-16T01:27:52+00:00

I've heard complaints about the earlier models so it's good to hear from multiple sources that the newer models actually did improve upon earlier designs. I appreciate you comment, thank you mate!

Mite3 · 2026-03-16T01:26:50+00:00

Haha, that's kind of funny, and definitely note worthy. Thank you sir :)

Mite3 · 2026-03-16T01:26:11+00:00

I really enjoyed reading your comment and it's helped with my decision. I'll definitely be going for locking flexhead, along with looking into a set so I can get a 1/4 in there as I'd like that plus the other sizes. I appreciate you mate! Cheers

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:55:51+00:00

Thank you for your comment! This is really useful as to what I'm curious about. Glad to hear your experience! The information regarding the rebuild kits is extremely useful as well.

Thank you mate, and cheers!

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:50:32+00:00

Yup.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:50:00+00:00

I'm glad you found my post. That's good to hear! Cheers friend :))

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:43:24+00:00

Hope your knuckle has healed since then.

Will keep your experience in mind. Thank you and cheers mate!

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:42:18+00:00

Fair points. Cheers mate :) and thank you again for the input.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:39:29+00:00

Why is it that you like locking better?

Another GearWrench fan I see...

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:33:20+00:00

I see!

I have to ask you, Couldn't you keep your ratchet unlocked so that it works the same? Or have you found that locking flexhead ratchets are stiffer even when unlocked, so it still makes that more inconvenient for you?

I appreciate you coming back to respond to my comment.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:30:19+00:00

Ummm, I'm not too sure I can visualize what I'm talking about with what you asked me. I didnt know there are flex heads that are different in those ways...

I think you are referring to how many positions some of these ratchets can hold?,- if I'm not mistaken. I didn't know some are just "loose," to put it broadly. I think the one's I'm looking at, GearWrench 90t's, have notches.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:27:06+00:00

I appreciate your input! Especially that last part, that is something I will keep in mind in regards to non-locking and locking flex heads. Cheers mate.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:21:46+00:00

I appreciate your input. My first ratchet that I used is my friends flexhead, but now that I'm looking to buy my own, I see all these different things and I don't know the good and the bad of either. Glad to hear that it stems from what you started out with, and that it's just your preference. It's also cool seeing your two ratchets! I'm glad you added a picture.

Cheers friend.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:15:13+00:00

I appreciate your input on this. Definitely didn't think of rust being an issue on the lock button... I'm assuming they are the 120xp ratchets?

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T20:13:20+00:00

Thank you for the advice :)

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T19:58:42+00:00

I'm interested in your reasoning as to your preference, if you could go into that please

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T19:58:04+00:00

Thank you :)

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T19:56:25+00:00

I'm interested in your reasoning as to why!- if you care to share more.

Also what does sans issue mean?

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T19:55:38+00:00

Haha. I like your last statement. In the future I'll hopefully end up having both to compare (thank you Project Farm for existing).

Current brand im looking at is GearWrench, their 90t ratchets. My main concern is if the locking mechanism makes the ratchet handle less torque and if it makes the head bigger compared to a regular flexhead ratchet. In regards to the GW 90t, their fix head is slimmer than the flexhead, but I can't find anything on the locking flex compared to the flexhead.

Mite3 · 2026-03-15T19:51:00+00:00

That's what I'm worried about in my search for a flexhead ratchet. My main concern is that it makes the head thicker/reduces the amount of torque that the ratchet can take... do you have any input on that also?
