Good deal on 90 tooth, dual-pawl ratchets.
Made in Taiwan
Hard to beat $10 a ratchet (especially for Taiwan).
Lifetime replacement warranty
Northern Tool is like Menards, they want you to come into their stores and shop around - but you can get it shipped to your door for $7.99 or $9.99 depending on your location.
Reviewers on the internet love these. You can see the guts here:
No stores around me -- any idea how the Harbor Freight "Pittsburgh" ones compare to these, like this: https://www.harborfreight.com/38-...59828.html
I have some older Craftsman wrenches, but the only 3/8" one I have is a fairly cumbersome flexhead one. I like the idea of having a soft grip on them though because I seem to drop the wrenches when tightening (been assembling weight lifting equipment lately). And it's an excuse to buy more tools. 😀

The IR ratchets are "finer", having 90 teeth vs the Pittsburgh with only 72 teeth. Having more teeth means that the wrench will engage in tighter locations. In the Project Farm tests, the wrenches with more teeth were stronger before stripping out.
The IR are made in Taiwan, the Pittsburgh are made in China (you have to move up to Pittsburgh Pro to get Taiwan quality)
If you do break a wrench, it would be a simpler exchange to go to your local HF, than to send a picture to IR and wait a week for replacement.
When I clicked on this, I automatically assumed they were Titan, but I don't recognize that grippy shape. Anyhow, terrific deal if you can tolerate soft handles. I've just gotten used to being burned or frozen by bare steel

Seriously, people might want to invest in an actual 1/2" breaker bar. Save yourself some stitches.
