Home Depot steps up big time this holiday season? This is a fantastic deal. Personally, I am not a big fan of black colored tools. I prefer chrome. But that could just be me.

These are perfect for swapping into sets that came with shitty non-quickrelease ratchets.
Hate fighting to pull small sockets off the flatheads that came in in my Icon and V-Series sets.

In the past I would have recommended a cheap set from SATA [amazon.com] but they dont seem to make them anymore. The Husky having the benifit of easy warranty swap is more appealing now anyway. If I had not already acquired Gearwrech 90T's [amazon.com] when individuals were cheap I would for sure get these.

Home depot, and other retailers, must be hurting for sales to be stepping up the deals pre black Friday.

It's super aesthetically pleasing to use with black sockets, but totally agreed that I'd rather not use it with chrome sockets

Just a heads up -- these are 100 tooth ratchets. Now, that might sound appealing since it requires such a small turn to advance the ratchet....but the tradeoff is you have exceptionally low torque.

In other words, if you use them on your car or lawn mower, you'll probably utterly destroy the ratcheting mechanism the first time you put any effort behind it. These are for very low-torque applications....stuff that's brand new, "machine threading" that's very fine, etc.
Thanks for sharing this. I thought they might be a good replacement for my Kobalt ratchets, which work fine but are pretty bulky by today's standards. Those Kobalts take a cheater pipe no problem if I don't have access to a breaker bar. And I really don't want to have highly situational tools, as they just take up space and money.

It is interesting that they give you extra length in a low torque ratchet, though...

Threads on GJ suggest these have a 50-tooth anvil with dual pawls, similar to Gearwrench's 120xp. Should be just fine for using them on your car or lawn mower.

This is hilarious misinformation. Modern high tooth count ratchets are absolutely NOT "low torque only". Hell, they're leagues above the shitty "standard" USA ratchets of decades past with 24-36 teeth people seem to think were great, but broke constantly under mild homeowner use.

Tooth count has nothing to do with how much torque a ratchet can take. That's old timer BS from a time before modern design and manufacturing techniques. Look up the tested failure load for a typical brand name 90+ tooth ratchet, and you'll see it far exceeds what you should be doing with the ratchet with your bare hands.

These ratchets are also not even that low tooth count. They have a dual-pawl 50 tooth mechanism that ought to be plenty robust for an DIYer. They are not "low torque" - every objective destructive test I've seen of Husky's high tooth ratchets gives them solidly midling performance.

Unless you're an untrained ape who abuses their tools this should be plenty good enough for "using on your lawnmower" FFS.

It literally says in the item description "Perfect for high speed and low-torque applications."

I mean, I don't know how else this "untrained ape" can spell it out for ya. Also, be nicer next time.
The "high speed and low-torque applications" is referring to the gimbal ratchet (palm ratchet) - you'll see the same phrase on the listing for the gimbal ratchet by itself: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky.../206038561
You won't see the same phrase in any of the other 100-position Husky ratchet listings.

Lifetime warranty of what? You? The company? An arbitrary time of usage determined in the fine print of the product ("we've determined the lifespan of this product is five years")?And good luck collecting on that. I have LiFeTiMe WaRrAnTy!!1! promises on Crapsman tools....which neither Ace Junkware nor bLowes will honor. Old stuff AND new stuff (since Sears' collapse).
I recently got a 20yo Craftsman ratchet replacement. Reached out to them directly and they sent me a new 3/8" drive ratchet.

Most of the reviews mention you have to take these apart on receipt and clean/lube them, which does not sound like the kind of quality control I want to deal with.

I'll stick with my awful Hart ratchets I got from Walmart in 2010.
