Love your description of cold weather! With a bit of care quality old ratchets last forever!

[@djstoolrestorations]

Yea, hate the cold, good tools are just good tools, they make me money or save me money!

Great videos, I stumbled across your page two days ago and can’t quit watching them. Thanks for sharing.

[@djstoolrestorations]

I am a little redneck, so I try to make them where people can do what I do, tools are my living and I have to have them to make money or save money, and I thank you for watching, ask a question anytime!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my Blackhawk tools they last forever

[@djstoolrestorations]

I think a lot of older brand tools just had better build quality!

[@bigfootscave445]

@djstoolrestorations that is 100% truth

[@jerryware5749]

Have that exact same rachet. I like the smaller heads that can get into tighter places. Also have a Sparta brand one that has the same mechanism. Believe they were both made by New Britain. Great video!

[@djstoolrestorations]

Thank you, I will have to look and see if I have a Sparta, if not I will have to look for one!!!!

[@scottjohnson136]

I am stuck on super lube as you are Mobil 1 grease! Good video!

[@djstoolrestorations]

Thanks 👍Like I say find what you like and stick with it, it will save you money over time, plus you now it works!!!!!!!!!

I have one and it's ok. SK invented the round-head ratchet wrench in 1933 and I like finding these the most in nice shape. The SK versions are just better made.

[@djstoolrestorations]

Now that you said this, I went out to look at my S-K and you are tight, it does feel better in the hand, but for cheap the Blackhawk is not bad!

[@branned]

@@djstoolrestorations 100% agree

[@xanderz161]

I still use my old S-K 1/2" drive all the time.
