Sorry but I wouldn't buy a Ratchet from Harbor Frieght again. I have been working and had to apply a lot of pressure and have actually stripped the inside of the Ratchet while almost busting my knuckles against the ground too. If I'm going to buy one I rather pay a little more and buy a nice Craftsmen, Snap-on, Armstrong, Etc.

That large 1-Inch is a Craftsmen. My dad also has the 1-inch breaker bar and 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 drive ratchet and breaker bars to match.

Guess its the luck of the draw It has happened to me and it has happened to my Dad as well a few times. But that's not to say it can't happen to craftsmen either. One of our 3/8 inch drive ratchets just broke and two of our deep Arm Strong sockets cracked.

Hahah I wish. With 5 cars around the house one of them is always needing either a Tire Rotation or Oil Change and since we do it all ourselves we have all that is needed.

My dad is a mechanical contractor so he knows the ins and outs of everything and i try to learn as much as I can while hes at it. Not to long ago my dad took apart a motor on a 90s Land rover Discovery to replace the head gasket had car parts and bolts all over the place and some how got it all back together.

Got a guy selling axles off his v8, but I'm not sure if I need both sets that he is selling, or just one? Anyone know?

Says he has two sets. He says he has one complete stock drive shaft and the other is the back half.
