The verdict

  1. 1

    Proto

    avg finish A+ in every category except head size

    “the Proto achieved an A+ in every category except for head size. It's expensive and falls into that buy once, cry once category, but you will get the added benefit of a flex head ratchet.”

    GearWrench 90

    “The GearWrench 90 is a terrific ratchet, but it has way too much back drag for a 1/4 in ratchet.”
