Williams JHWM-52EHA 1/4-Inch Drive Enclosed Head Ratchet with Chrome Finish

There are so many tool makers now in the market. Prices are competitive and it all depends on the quality they have to offer. Quality on materials and how far can the tool be used to its limit. Williams brand is USA made ratchet with a low tooth count. I really can apply a good amount of torque on this ratchet. With the low tooth count comes with a price, the switching lever on the ratchet head. The lower the tooth count the more resistance you will have switching directions. It will be loose through time but compared to 72 tooth ratchets, they are more fine like a clockwork. But I need this tool for its low tooth count and durability not for smoothness. The handle is round and coated smooth, making it easier to wipe clean. Lenght is just right for tight places. There is a good weight on it adding more mass on to it. This ratchet is easily compared to an expensive popular USA made brand, but price wise this is very affordable. If you are looking for low tooth ratchet with solid body that you can crank hard and having a reasonable price, choose Williams.

Made in USA. Solid ratchet. Not sure else people expect this to do.

Made by Snap-On, Williams tools are a cheaper alternative to their more expensive counterparts. While they aren't branded as Snap-On, they do still carry a full warranty just as Snap-On branded tools do as well. I modified mine installing the 3/8 compact ratchet kit (RKRFC936), turning it into a 3/8 stubby rat. Beautiful well finished body, and the kit fits perfectly and has a smooth low back drag action! Sure it's only a lower 36 tooth count, but there are still times when a low tooth count rat can be handy. And the handle on these M52's are very similar to the old Snap-On M70's, except on these the ridges are less prevalent. Very nice tool! Satisfied!👍

Top Quality. Fairly fine tooth. Comfortable to use. Budget friendly. This is the 1/4 drive. I have the flex handle and the plain handle as well the 3/8, and 1/2 drive ratchets. I bought them to use in place of my suddenly vintage Snap-On drive tools. I like them. A little more bulky than the earlier model of Williams pairhead ratchet but no more so than the current Snap-On pairhead ratchet that it strongly resembles. The US made Williams tools are superior, in my opinion, to the tools in the Asian made Williams, Bluepoint, or Bahco sets that I own. For the money, they are without equal.

Feels good, and hasn't broken yet.

My old USA made Craftsman 1/4 ratchet broke last week so instead of replacing it with a free China copy I bought another USA made ratchet. The Williams went straight from mailbox to work and didn't miss a beat. It has nice finishing, sturdy enough for the job, and is built by a guy named Steve who may one day buy something I make.

Like it so far smaller head than most of my other 1/4 ratchets and that’s great for them tighter spaces. Glad to see an older quality name tool still being made. Don’t quote me but I believe they were bought by Snap-On tools.

The Williams M-52EHA is made in the USA for those wondering. Also, most Williams tools that start with letters do. Anyways, this 1/4" bad boy is just a rebranded Snap On ratchet let's be honest. The fit and finish is snap on quality and I love that this thing is so compact. Definitely makes my job on cars etc easier.

USA made. Beautiful polished chrome finish. Ultra strong Snap On 36 tooth ratchet mechanism, and cheap as chips. This is a lifetime tool for most normal users. Highly recommended
