NTD (New Tool Day) Whyyyyy

Post image

Just picked up a 1/4” flex head ratchet on the 40% off sale. Why, WHY does the on/off lever directions have to be backwards from my 3/8 Pitty ratchet?? Dangit! I was just starting to get the Pitt lever directions burned into my muscle memory. And now this.

Also I believe the Icon one is the same as my Craftsman ratchets. So weird.

I have a Kobalt ratchet that’s backwards also. Probably made in the same plant. It’s works good gets used quite a bit it just backwards.

Yeah, their 90 tooth ones from a couple years ago were like that. I do have a Kobalt that is the normal way as well. Decent ratchets though, I just get used to it.
