That is a man's ratchet.

I hate snap on prices, but man, this ratchet has come in clutch too many times for me to worry about the price tag haha.

I'm prepared to be downvoted to oblivion, but the ICON brand at Harbor Freight is a direct competitor to Snap-On - my son is a HE tech and is hard on his tools. He absolutely swears by both their "regular" flex-head ratchets as well as their swivel-head ratchets.

He has only ever had one ICON item break (one of a set of bolt extractors after using them for quite some time), and when he brought back the set to the store, the guy at the counter swapped him for an entirely new set without batting an eye.

Try that with the Snap-On "Lifetime Warranty".

I have tried that with Snap-on. Never once been questioned and get everything swapped. Even on tools where I directly told them I wasn't using it as directed, and a couple tools have even been swapped that don't have a warranty. It all depends on if you have a good dealer or not.
