Nope. I've been thinning my herds.
The last two years I've been buying and testing different ratchets, based upon what others have said. But I keep drifting back to my old stand-by S-K roundheads. So I've sold off most of the other rats I'd accumulated, and have just a few left.

I do not like the warranty on S-K right now as I have two ratchets that does not work and could not warranty them.

Really? That's no good! I had heard they were honouring all warranties...

A few months ago, before the new plant started production, their website read:

Are you saying you tried to have two items warranted & were denied that service?

Please provide details!

Ditto! I emailed S-K, saying I needed a selector knob for a ratchet I had. Didn't tell them it was  bought at a pawn shop, because I fully expected to pay for the knob. They emailed me back saying they were sending me a whole rebuild kit free of charge. I was happily surprised.

Very Nice looking collection of "Eye Candy", and many many more than what I have ! I look forward to the close up pictures.
