your kitty is adorable

Buying and trying these Quinn ratchets actually got me to buy the Gearwrench 90T locking flex head ratchets which I really love.

Tooth count is what is selling ratchets nowadays. Have you seen the new craftsman with 180 position and also the new SK 216 position? It's a part of the tool companies advertising. I'm waiting for the 500 position ratchet. Coming soon. Most regular people who don't know any better are gonna go for the ratchet with the big numbers.

I'm done with the tooth count wars. My Gearwrench 84 tooyh ratchets are fine. So are my old SK 60 tooth ones

Parts will also interchange with the MATCO 88 series & HUSKEY Thin flex-heads.

Hopefully this is the tip of the iceberg and we’ll get some locking flex head versions :).

I really like the Quinn's tho, I have the 3/8 & 1/4 so far, I couldn't get all three at once because I'm just that poor, but I'll the the 1/2 inch on my next trip to HF. I hope they expand the Quinn ratchet line and start selling some longer ones and flex head ones in the future.

Hadn’t seen these. Thanks for the heads up👍

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

My $15 ratchets (72T) are fine, been using them for years. This is just for fun for me at this point. Just got the 90t Gearwrench, I may just return them and get these, now 20% off. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video. I was hoping you would take a look at them.

I paid $10 more on each for the best back drag I've ever seen in 11/23 for 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 Koken Zeal series ratchets. I don't need to see your try any other ratchet after them they're the ones for me for sure. No more going around and having to hold the back side of the socket so it actually twists on or off. Koken are Japanese and do take some time to ship hear. The weight they have is great I just done see needing the lifetime warranty on them. But if I do it will take a minute I'm sure. But the quality for just another $10 each if money well Spent.

It's crazy because Quinn is supposed to be their mid tier for tools but now with these rachets being gearwrench they're better than the icon ones which really aren't that good.

Nice thanks for makin

Cool comparison, those look like good ratchets.

I just made the trip south of the boarder to pick some stuff up at harbor fright. Was checking those quinns out last night and they felt good. Just like my many gearwrench ratchets that ive had over the years. Being from Canook land we also have a version of these at Canada tire. The Maximum 90t ratchets . The 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 set is on sale for 59$ cnd. . thats about 10$ usd. lol. (about $44usd). Just bought a set to give away from xmass .

The best "budget" ratchet in my opinion. It doesn't seem like much sperates it from Matco. As far as a true Snap On knock off, it doesn't seem like there is one now that matches it's unique internals.... Good video as always

Interesting, I have that same Gearwrench 90T 3/8 drive ratchet which is one of my favorites. The version without the comfort grip won a ratchet competition on Project Farm, before which I'd never heard a peep about it. I didn't even realize Quinn had ratchets at HFT. With a lifetime warranty on hand tools I feel like it doesn't matter much if a high-tooth count ratchet ultimately breaks if you get a lot of use out of it, *if* it provides an advantage.

Hello again, Catus Maximus and Tiny Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you, I have never seen a Gearless Ratchet, who would be a good brand name to check out? Again thank you 😊

now this is spicy

Very video I will look at a 1/2

When the Icons first came out there was a special on the 3/8 and 1/4 stubby ones. Came together in the cute little package with the polishing cloth. All for $35. So I picked them up to try them. I never use them precisely because of the backdrag. The 1/4 in particular is ridiculous. I've had them both apart trying to address the backdrag but to no avail. So they sit in the corner of the tool box. Every once in a while I'll grab one of them to reassure myself they are that bad, and they are.

By Jorge, I knew it. Good day, I say onto you good gir. Good day indeed.

An excellent video with an interesting ratchet comparison. I would not have thought to compare that Quinn ratchet against the other two, but was surprised with the detailed results. The Quinn line still remains quite a decent alternative for some tools, and their ratchets would probably do well for purposes. I have a SATA 120 tooth ratchet that works fine, yet my collection of various brand 90 and 72 tooth ratchets do about as well. Hello to Tiny :) Two of my cats could be her near twin. One smaller and one larger and they do the same thing with tools, etc.

It would be great to compare them to the Advanced Auto Diehard comfort grip 90 tooth ratchet

So does the 1/2 inch and 3/8 for sure have less backdrag than the Icon counterparts? Can anyone else confirm

I have a feeling these won't be around too long....Get them while you can.👍

As much as they’re undercutting themselves, they’re also undercutting gear wrench, which is the only honest price close competitor to the icon. Everybody I know is buying that Quinn it’s the exact same tool with a much easier warranty, no matter what HarborFreight wins.

10:00 -- Which brand gearless ratchets do you prefer Catus?

I wanted to love the quinn 3/8 but 2 ratchets back to back failed. Snap ring poped off and flung across the shop. Mayb i bought 2 bad ones.

Finally, a lil' kitty

I like my Gearwrench 90s. I think they at least as good as Icons. I have an SK LP90, and I far prefer the GW. The LP90 freezes up- its on its second set of internals, and no improvement. The advantage for Quin is the ability to swap them out at a local HF store. Nothing beats same day warranty replacement!

I can attest to a gearwrench 120xp extra long handle 1/2 ratchet take abuse i have seen tool truck ratchet let go. We put a 3ton jack handle and two of us on it to pressout a ball joint on a ram 2500 that was stuck, even putting torches to it while wrenching, handle flexed ALOT from the massive torque being apllied, yeswe are both stout dude's, ratchet shruggedit off, say what you want about gearwrench. Oh yes this ratchet is a daily used tool in a repair shop and is now where near being new, i know its at minimum is 5 years old

That's the thinnest backplate I've ever seen. I don't love that.

Your high use is gonna be battery powered

✌️

Your price on the Quinn 3/8 is off, it’s $25 retail

They're more Sata than Gearwrench..slightly off spec..not Gearwrench spec..but Husky and Sata level ☝️

My icon ratchets are junk

I dunno man, with a lot of the gearwrench 90 failures ive seen, its an anvil failure

You're not going to "wear out" a 90 tooth ratchet. Not going to happen. Maximum toque capacity will change, but I don't consider that normal wear and tear. Graphite is a more appropriate lubricant. Couldn't give me Gear Wrench anything.

15 dollar difference, not much cheaper

Need more cat in the videos. Real mechanics have cats in the shop, which you do. Let's see more of them. You could even do a whole video just on the cat. Adios.

icon ratchets are garbage for what available at the price point .
