The Husky ratchets (I have 3) all seem fine and smooth.
I have a snap on thats smoother, but that has more teeth and I think that plays into the smooth feeling.

The Craftsman ratcheting wrenches are not cheap.
If you buy a set they are cheaper $50-150.
I wanted some both sae and metric and wanted the reversible option.
If you plan to buy any I highly recommend you go into the store and feel them out. I almost bought a set online I dont think I would have been happy with.
Craftsman has a lot of these ratcheting wrenches. Some are fine tooth (5 degree), some are not. Some are thicker at the ratchet some are thinner. Some are reversible while others are not. I liked these the best and happen to find them on ebay for a fair price.

I bought these on ebay for $60.00 each.

Edit:
The Husky ratchets do have a loud click to them, but it feels very solid.
If you are shopping for a good ratchet I say get one with a lot of teeth and the reversible switch location is important. I love the snap on "on-off" switches. A lot of the cheaper ratchets will have a whole head that rotates to reverse it. These suck as sometimes the ratchet is against something and difficult to reverse.
