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?

The Fixer

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.

And you let him play with what looks like Balsa as Well!!! Boy is he spoiled!!

Like the tail idea, will do that with the ratchet I have.

DOH!

How can you tell one of the parents is left handed?

The Fixer

Oh God no, would never touch him.

The dog gave him the shiner.
