[1Ton]

(I worked as a auto technician for 5yrs) Since then do work on the side at home. I own Snap-On Craftsman and Matco Ratchets. I've owned my Craftsmans for the longest. Never had a ratchet back to Sears. My Snap-on's have never let me down. The Matco I was getting replaced on a regular basis when turning wrenches for a living. My 1/2 inch ratchet is a Craftsman, just because I never broke it or could convince myself to spend the money for a Snap-On.
So my vote goes for Snap-On first. I put them first because they are alot finer on the ratchet teeth so in a tight spot you can ratchet them.
Next is Craftsman. I've never had to replace one and there are Sears stores whereever you go to get em replaced if needed.
Hope this helped.
