I bought one of those Craftsman 11tybillion piece sets but the ratchets fucking suck ass.
I'm looking to replace them but I cant afford snap-on or mac. Is there a cheaper brand of ratchets thats better than the crap the tool set came with?

I use Kobalt and so far no regrets. Not sure how expensive they are though

I like westward tools. I've got a 1/2" drive socket set that's got to be at least 10 years old and still works like it was brand new

I'm not sure what it's like where you're from but I buy tools at pawn shops all the time around here for next to nothing, especially for hand tools. They will normally have a huge bin of combination wrenches, ratchets, etc that you can pick through and find the tools and sizes you like. My local pawn shop will sell me combination wrenches 4 for $1, good ratchet handles for like $5.

The 84T (or maybe it's 81T, can't remember at the moment) Craftsman ratchets are more than decent. I can't really tell the difference between them and my Snap-on ratchets. I actually prefer the handle on the nicer Craftsman models over any other brand/style.

What's so bad about them?
Craftsman makes a finer percison wrench.
Also, you can take it apart, and relube it for better feel.

A lot of brands (not just Craftsman) put shitty ratchets in those big bargain sets with like 100 sockets and 3 or 4 different ratchets in them. Nothing wrong with that, the sockets are normally pretty good but it's worth it IMO to buy some better ratchets for everyday use and keep the ones that came included in the set for backups.

I have a kobalt set and i love the ratchets it came with. They have all been hammered on and cheater piped on they are still true and the action is still good
