Yes, but at least a well made 90 tooth will be stronger than you are assuming no cheater pipe etc. They will be hard enough that you'll probably die before they wear out from just ratcheting but yeah be more careful with leverage increasing jigs!
72 tooth is about the minimum for fixing modern cars. For home use it wouldn’t matter. I’ve got a 24 tooth Armstrong I occasionally use it’s 40 years old and was common for industrial use. I lubricate all my ratcheting tools.
I tried to fastened bolts using ratchet sock handle, I think it was 72 teeth one. I thought I already fastened it enough so the bolt won't fall off but it was not. I lost 2 of the bolts. The strange is, I ask my friend to fix some part of my motorcycle and he was using ratchet too. The bolts fastened very well and did not fall off. Can you explain what did I do wrong?
More is better, but you get diminishing returns. 72-90 is the sweet spot. Craftsman warranty is worthless or very difficult depending on what tool you have. Anything from a Sears store you can forget about. Others you may have to prove you bought it at the store you bought it from. If the number is discontinued good luck.
I just bought the gunmetal craftsman. Hopefully it will last. I'm not a mechanic so I think it should do what I need.
I have many brands of tools, sets, ratchets. My favorites are gearwrench xp120 and craftsman 120 gunmetal. Smoooooth!
Does having finer teeth compromise strength vs the older style?
Yes

@Magnus what about a 120?
Thank you for this review. Well done and easy to understand.
The Husky. You’re basically the dealing with a 72 tooth ratchet with the craftsman versus 90 tooth ratchet with the Husky.
thanks for the review, very informative, well done

So you’re saying 36 tooth gear is strong than 72 and 120 teeth gear….120 will strip out because the gear ratio?
Thanks for the information.
I don't believe it...I go from djing to picking a trade...looking up ratchets to buy and i see your face again😭🤣🙏🏽
Appreciate this vid!
