Deal Details
This is a high-end set of 120-tooth flex-head ratchets from a reputable brand. One ratchet typically sales for $50 at the big box stores. Typical price for the set is $150. Amazon and Home Depot have them on sale for $127. The lowest price currently on the internet is this vendor at $114.37

These are probably the best ratchets currently on the market. Unlike many other brands that make dual pawl 120-tooth ratchets, these can be disassembled for cleaning/lubing. The 120-tooth ratcheting allows only 3 degrees of arc between clicks. You might be perfectly happy with a 72 or 90 tooth ratchet, but if you are in the market for top-level flex heads, then this deal is decent. They are not locking heads, but they have a good detent which I prefer over a locking switch.

Those kind of special sales on Amazon do happen, but it usually when they have low stock and are liquidating off the remainder. The stock of items at that point is usually less than 20, so they are hard to catch. It was consistently $102 for a short period back in 2020.

Still at $114 coming up on the holidays, this is an unusually low price in the past couple years. This is a crazy good gift for anyone that is mechanically inclined. If someone bought me a 72-tooth ratchet set, it would literally be useless to me, but almost everyone is upgraded by these, so they work even for difficult to shop for people.

Why is their catchphrase "a trustworthy source"? Makes it not seem like that

So with your logic, you'd prefer if it said "an untrustworthy source"?

Remember the great Amazon snafu in December of 2019 and Amazon sent out the 120XP set instead of the 84T for $65?

Pepperidge Farms remembers...

Nice. They don't have the PayPal discount ability so the original was still cheaper for me, but that may be better for others. Have you ever ordered from them? I couldn't find much about whether they are a legit store front.

Is this the 2022 version with the locking positions?

I didn't order from them either after finding out that they don't take PayPal(cash back via Chase). But they do take Apple, Meta, and Google Pay on top of all major CC's. So regardless, you're protected. They appear to be out of California. Been in business since 2015.

Mai Supply order was delivered today (shipping info shows it came from their Indiana warehouse). Thanks, did not get charged state sales tax either.

These have quite a bit of back drag. They are good but I found they get a lot better if you take them apart and squeeze the spring for each pawl so it compresses down by about 1/3, then the back drag lands in a really nice spot.

As for best, they are definitely good but yeah no, dual80 is a different league. Then again a single dual80 ratchet cost more than this set.

I bought two of these packs a few years ago, was pretty excited for the 120xp, first step into nicer ratchets after years of hobbyist wrenching, honestly have not gotten much use out of them. Subsequently bought snappy stuff, use the heck out of them. That's just how things landed for me though, definitely solid offering once you take care of the back drag situation

Mai supply can be paid by paypal. You just need to use gpay and have Paypal as payment source.
