www.slashgear.com: Harbor Freight has made its name by providing a wide selection of budget-oriented tools from an assortment of house-owned brands. Part of the way that it's done this is by having these brands manufacture tools with designs that are comparable to those of its most popular competitors, cutting out the middlemen between manufacturer and retailers, and then selling them at a steep discount.

I feel like every week I see an article about Harbor Freight tools and how good they are. Granted they all look nice but I'm always just a little bit skeptical. For starters, I feel like they all come from the same one or two websites, so I have to wonder if these websites are biased or sponsored in some way. But. it could be that harbor freight really is just turning over a new leaf. I haven't been there for a long time to buy tools, but maybe they're a lot better than they used to be. I should probably get over there someday and check out all the stuff they have. I guess in my head they still just have that reputation of making lower quality tools. In the case of this ratchet, it could just be that you can expect a much lower lifetime compared to the Snap-On ratchet, but otherwise identical performance.
