JHWM-52EHA 1/4-Inch Drive Enclosed Head Ratchet with Chrome Finish

This Williams ratchet is American made, and uses the same guts as past 1/4 snap on ratchets. I have a 1/4 snap on ratchet, the head it very similar and if you flip them over they have the exact same patent numbers and markings on the retainer plates. This ratchet is 1/3 of the price of a snap on one, and seems to be very comparable quality. Williams tools that have alpha numeric part numbers are made is the USA and are excellent quality (compared to Williams tools that have all number part numbers that are made in Taiwan). Very happy, will forsure buy more of the American made willams tools. As another review stated, the ratchet was sticky when it arrived but I soaked it in oil and it’s 100% perfect now.

USA made. Beautiful polished chrome finish. Ultra strong Snap On 36 tooth ratchet mechanism, and cheap as chips. This is a lifetime tool for most normal users. Highly recommended

There are so many tool makers now in the market. Prices are competitive and it all depends on the quality they have to offer. Quality on materials and how far can the tool be used to its limit. Williams brand is USA made ratchet with a low tooth count. I really can apply a good amount of torque on this ratchet. With the low tooth count comes with a price, the switching lever on the ratchet head. The lower the tooth count the more resistance you will have switching directions. It will be loose through time but compared to 72 tooth ratchets, they are more fine like a clockwork. But I need this tool for its low tooth count and durability not for smoothness. The handle is round and coated smooth, making it easier to wipe clean. Lenght is just right for tight places. There is a good weight on it adding more mass on to it. This ratchet is easily compared to an expensive popular USA made brand, but price wise this is very affordable. If you are looking for low tooth ratchet with solid body that you can crank hard and having a reasonable price, choose Williams.

Esta matraca es de línea fina cabeza pequeña el cromo bien y todos los detalles muy bien

Exactly what you expect from a snap-on owned company, it use’s the same ratchet head as my caterpillar 1/4” from apprenticeship 16years ago. Perfect USA made tooling!!!
