I like to wrench on my own cars and can't bring myself to buy these. I have various tool sets (kobalt, husky, craftsman) and roughly 9 ratchets between them. Also have a decent set of gear wrench reversible ratcheting wrenches.
But I also have milwaukee fuel 12v 3/8": stubby impact, right angle impact and extended ratchet (and 18v makita 1/2"). I gotta say I use those the most when working on cars.
I rarely use mechanical ratchets unless it's 1/4" or something delicate like oil pan/trans/coolant drain bolts. But if I were to buy a new ratchet I think it would be one of those 3/8" extendable flexhead from harbor freight. They seem by far the most useful and comfortable. I mean looking at this Husky set...who needs a super high tooth 1/2" drive ratchet? Seems very pointless.

Granted, these have been the Deal of the Day more than once at this price, which is when a lot of people do make the purchase. Husky also sells the 72 tooth ratchets [homedepot.com], which for 1/2" drive, is logically stronger ---but maybe not. If and when they come on sale, I will buy a 72 tooth set. Nevertheless, the 2.5 degree difference in tight places for the OP can and does make a difference when encountered.
Personally, I like the handles on the Husky that like many brands, are Snap On copycats. As well, the chrome finish on the Husky is now better than GearWrench that is hit and miss. For many and besides quality, the bottom line is warranty and the ease of obtaining warranty that is not only what made Craftsman famous for the DIYer, but also the tool truck brands like SnapOn for the professionals that use everyday.
PS: The original Kobalt made in the 90's were manufactured in the USA with an increasing crowd that collects them at an appreciating price.

But going it over in my head, I really think flex head ratchets (and ratcheting wrenches) are worth the money. The few times I've been stuck or had very tedious work, flex heads would've been very welcome.
I will give Husky props on the extension set that was on here last year for $20 or $25 i think (reg was $40). Full 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2, adapters, even a flex/tube extension.

Most every tool has a purpose. As far as reviews and besides the competition, there is a "Me Too" group, even on here, that regurgitate a possible issue ad nauseam until it becomes a presumed fact. I read that review and just happened to previously torque to exactly 50 lbs to then remove is possible with a bad gear set, but just as likely the competition. Meanwhile, there are several reasons why more torque is required to remove a fastener than what was used to install.
