I got my first Snap-on ratchet. I bought it used on Ebay.

Although it feels solid and I can tell that there is definitely more teeth in the mechanism, I do not like the fact that removing an attached socket from the ratchet is a pain when there is no 'quick release' button. When your hands are greasy or oily, the last thing you want is a stubborn socket on a ratchet.

I like to work in gloves anyway (yeah, I'm a cissy that way). No quick-release button = one less part to break.
