I just bought a very nice polished (and I believe/hope forged) 3/8" ratchet drive (Kolbalt brand nicer variety ($30) made in Taiwan) from Lowes.
I hope the Kobalt is 1/2 the ratchet the Craftsman has been.
Fiddlesticks!!! Worked with the new Kobalt some this weekend and not sure I like it at all. The handle is bent rather than straight, it seems to want to pull up off bolt heads more than the straight handle, especially when using long/deep sockets. Anyone make a reasonable (I don't wrench enouhg to buy Snap-on) nice 3/8 ratchets??
