Snap On FLLF80XCV 3/8DR GOLD Collectable Limited Flexi Head XL Ratchet

Product Information

There’s even this Redditor’s case where a customer tipped the gold ratchet in question in recognition for a job well done.

Made from chrome vanadium with a 90-tooth gear-to-gear ratcheting mechanism, a low profile head, and a 4-degree arc swing, it’s certainly not bottom basement spec but not exactly top of the line either.

It is not uncommon in service related industries, like being a service tech at a dealership or a mechanic at a service yard, to receive a gold tool of some sort as an award for achieving a milestone or hitting an anniversary. Your time is precious, and with that in mind the new 14.4V brushless ratchet is designed to ensure you are as productive as possible.

Harbor Freight launched their Premium ICON tools lineup in 2018. Since then, ICON’s gained a reputation for being a professional-level quality tool at a fraction of the price of more established brands.If the Gold Plating doesn’t actually add functionality, that only leaves two main reasons Harbor Freight makes a gold ratchet: for decorative purposes and because they can. With a store within driving distance of most mechanics and handymen and, with that lifetime warranty, choosing ICON is often a no-brainer.

Durable cordless ratcheting, taking performance to the next level. The all-new 14.4V 3/8" brushless ratchet kit from Snap-on allows for rapid removal of fasteners, saving you time on the job. So I'll start by saying, nothing beats a snap-on ratchet. BUT! The Icon is damn close to an equivalent. I needed something for the house, and instead of forking out 120 for the snappy, I thought I'd try the Icon for 35, if for no other reason than research purposes.Gold Plating Services, based out of Utah, provides a handy guide on what exactly goes into gold plating metals and, more importantly, how much it costs.
