Time Stamps and Links
@0:00 Intro
@1:15 The Plan
Budget, Comprehensive Socket Set for a Road Box
@3:22 Icon 3/8" Drive Swivel Head Ratchet, $44.99
https://www.harborfreight.com/38ind...
This is legitimately my very first Icon Ratchet!
@5:05 1st Tekton Tools
Roto Ratchet Set
Can't lie, these have been pretty good! There are a TON of rebrands out there, so your color and price may vary
@8:19 KTC 3/8" Roto Head Ratchet
@11:42 Unboxing & Buying Strategies
Out of the Box @13:40
@14:20 Annoying Tag
Watch to the end to see how to remove that thing
@14:47 Pros and Cons of the Case
Would you use this?
@15:30 Packaging Highlights
@20:15 KTC vs Icon vs Tekton
Icon is the longer option
@21:20 Icon Inspection
@21:50 Still Waiting for More Colors
Who would be on board for a limited color run?
@25:40 Back to the Ratchet
@26:30 Ratchet Action
Things go downhill from here
Seems to jump, lots of backdrag, doesn't seem like 90 Tooth
Will it break in?
@29:22 Socket Fitment
@29:40 Synopsis
I think, for the money, this ratchet should be better
While this would be tolerable for Pittsburgh, or Quinn, as the flagship, there should not be a ratchet mechanism, out of the box, with this kind of action
@31:54 Head Comparison
@34:30 Icon Wins
The competition to go in the road box and be most likely to be lost
The KTC is like a different world and the fact that Tekton/Pittsburgh could be bought as a 3 Piece set for the price of the lone Icon says a lot
Maybe the other drive sizes are better?
@34:50 Head Issues
Can repeatedly get the head in a neutral position
@37:17 Time Will Tell
First Impression is far from stellar
My recommendations
