Harbor Freight has been trying to up their image by raising prices, not that I see any improvement. Ratchet wrenches have about tripled in price in the last year. They invent a new name and multiply the price and drop the older model with the lower prices. I do not see any real difference in quality. It used to be I drove past Home Depot and went to harbor Fright without comparison shopping .
Looked today and 3/8" ratchet is 15$ at HD. about 23$ for a similar item a HF. Both with lifetime guarantee. But I bet in five years HF brand name will have changed and they will not replace the tool with a identical one since the name has been changed to protect the innocent.
