Ifixoldjunk 778 #1 Posted February 5, 2022 So the other day at the local Wally mart I saw a display of Williams ratchets. And I immediately noticed how similar they are to snap on ratchets at first I thought it was just a coincidence until I went online and read about Williams actually being bought out by snap-on. They literally even have the same internal parts. For $30 your getting near snap-on quality and it’s still USA made as well! they even have nice thick handles with good weight to them. Just handling it feels like it should be way more expensive than it is. Definitely adding more Williams tools to my collection 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,851 #2 Posted February 5, 2022 Williams has been in business for a very long time. I have some of their tools that I inherited and I believe they are from the fifties. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EB-80/8inPA 1,669 #3 Posted February 5, 2022 If this is true (and no doubt it is seeing the side by side pic) and were widely known, who would ever buy another Snap-On ratchet at their regular price? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ifixoldjunk 778 #4 Posted February 5, 2022 @EB-80/8inPA I know right? It’s amazing why buy snap on at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ifixoldjunk 778 #7 Posted February 5, 2022 Picked up a second Williams ratchet because why not. The round head has a much finer action. And it’s more reminiscent of the “vintage” stuff I’m used to working with. Both are pretty solid if you’d ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
