Default Husky Air Ratchet

Wanted to share this info;

Usually don't buy anything Husky, but I bought this Husky Ratchet at local Home Depot for the 10 year old Boy as a gift for $30.

Been using it for a month, the thing works great, and is made as well as my 'better' one and has a lot of bolt breaking torque, best $30 I've spent in a long time. If you need one buy this..

I have found Husky is comparable to craftsman of years ago. Much better than most and they have lifetime warranty.

I recommend you put a short (2-3') whip on the ratchet, and put the QD connector on the far end. So you're not wrestling with the stiffness of the main air hose. H-F sells them, and I'm sure they come from other places too for more.

Thanks for the tip.

Gift for the 10 year old Boy? Who's been using it for a month?

You're welcome.

He's big for his age. Great kid, trying to keep him off the X-box.
My 8 year old Daughter loves helping me. Great Girl also.

Very good idea, will do at some point. I am trying to do as little damage to the wrists and the rest of joints. Thanks Doc.
