Back in 1988 wright tools made ratchets for MATCO tools. I have my old matco ratchets and I agree they are the best! After 30 years of daily use they are still going strong! And I still have 25 years to go before I retire at 77.

Been using the 4490 for 15 years. I install commercial fire sprinklers and use almost every day. By far my favorite. Ive used the big name companies and they dont compare.

"This thing feels solid... As fuck." Great review mate. The availability of Wright Tools in the UK isn't so great, but I'll get my hands on some once I convince the family that Christmas is cancelled for a better cause.

Thanks for the response! Got quite a laugh out of that, I'll try and see if I can find a possible outlet in the UK for Wright Tools. No guarantees but it's worth a shot, thanks again for subscribing!

I dont know if you have had the opportunity to check this out or not, but Harry J Epsteins also carries Wright, both brand new and New Old Stock. They are also typically cheaper in their prices too! Very nice video, I also have a few of their ratchets and both a SAE and Metric set of their Wrightgrip combination wrenches.

Don’t own any Wright tools. Was thinking about purchasing there wright grip wrench set. I own a lot of sk and snap on ratchets. Thinking of trying wright tools out for a change

My Dad had the same Wright round head ratchet, about a 7” handle with what looked like a piece of heater hose over the grip. Always clicked positive and never changed direction when you palmed it, it just fucking worked. We didn’t get carried away with tooth count back then and when we needed something bigger or smaller we reached for the correct drive size. I’m also a huge fan of the Snow Shoe head Proto ratchets, 24 teeth but smooth as glass and close to zero backdrag.

Wright tool is specifically designed for heavy maintenance and work IE oil fields, foundry, Iron Workers, the smallest thing on there own list is Auto Repair so that says hey this is a tool made for heavy hard work not just a little bit of car wrenching on the weeks end. Now don’t get me wrong yes obv these can do just that and do it amazingly but there price point and how they are made is for heavy maintenance hard work!! I absolutely love Wright Tools all my main tools at work (I am a maintenance millwrite) are Wright bc they simply are the best! Esp there combination wrenches they can’t be beat!! I have will always trust Wright tools period!! A great American 🇺🇸 company! I hope they never sell out!

I like Wright wrenches but when shopping for a flex head ratchet I didn't like the Wrights. I paid 150 around the time this was made and bought a Snap On long handle flex head. Worth every penny

...been using their stuff for decades. The new WrightGrip 2.0 wrenches are the best made. & I have aLL the Snap On , MAC , Matco spline combo and S-K X-Beam there is. Like them all , but the WrightGrip 2.0's are just gorgeous beasts.

Got the little 2426 1/4 on order, I've heard you can't beat what you get for the money. I almost payed a good deal for a used matco version on eBay till I noticed the OEM Wright for $30 brand new. It's one of the most attractive 1/4 ratchets I've ever seen and I expect it to feel just as great in hand.

Hey MARK! =) Check out my comment here... I'm so excited to get this ratchet for the price I got it for, the chrome appeared to be slightly dulled which is no problem for me being the rest was in great shape. So since its broken and needs a new kit how does wright warranty work do you know? I was wanting to put the "linesman" ratchet kit with the raised direction knob. ... I did find one that was brand new on amazon earlier this week, it was the last one instock and I didnt have xtra money to spend yet so I missed it =( oh well this one being 'broken' will allow me to justify the funds of a kit if I cant get it for free on warranty. Oh boy now I need to salivate my memory of what beautiful tools they are with watching some tool box tours from you =p. BTW I found this video by typing in Wright Ratchet, how bout you?

I've looked at Wright Tools for the first time with their 2020 eCatalogue. The ratchet handle selection is not great in my opinion. I prefer pear head lever operated ratchet handles and there's only one option in the range.
