Cute! The long handle version is one of my fave ratchets! I love my Mac MR4C and Matco BFR8T also. The Astro 1128 air ratchet is nice for the price as well, touchy trigger though. That NitroCat 1250K I just got feels weird, doesn't hit anything like a twin hammer but it works well so far. By far my best tool purchase has been a 6X air rivet gun, it hits super hard and almost always gets stuff off or free, and the feathering trigger is superb.

For the last few years I've been slowly (ok very slowly) replacing all of my ratchets with Snap-Ons. This is my 4th or 5th I think.

How motorcycle friendly is it really?

 

My brother got a really cool one, it's very very very loud

Take a new ride from the lot every day so you truly look like a baller. I’m assuming you own a used lot, otherwise you’d probably specify what manufacturer. Anything with leather (or heated) seats and an aux plug. High schoolers will think that’s been the coolest thing ever. It could be the shittiest civic ever, but if it has an aux cord, you’ll be cool

Greatest advice! LOL! thanks we mostly have a bunch of 2010s suvs and trucks plus a freaking loaded as hell kia sedona with everthing!

Pricy but great tools, worth it since they'll be lifetime tools.

TIL hyundai offers the Theta II 2.0T engine as a crate engine.

I mean there's loud and then there's just sounds like shit. He's got no end can on it so its going to fall into the latter.

Looking to get an i30N in a few months. Found a picture of a yellow one on the interwebs... Guess I will need to find out how much car wrapping costs now.

Mac are exactly the same and a fraction of the price. And they have better lifetime warrantys

and it's not just the 2.0t as well. the 3.8 v6 is offered in crate engine form too. imo i would take it bc it sounds better imo and you can make good power stock.

sounds reasonable to me. 1000cc bike will kill you faster so better stay in areas where you're forced to take your time with it most of the time

cheaper to fix the 400 when you inevitably crash the living shit out of it when pushing it on track

I own all 3, the snapon ratchets feel so much better after years of use compared to Mac and Matco. The M's start to get wobbly and gain more slop between clicks a lot faster than the snapon stuff, but I still love my BFR80T and MR4C because they're unlike anything snapon makes.  When it comes to sockets they're all pretty equal, just grab some Sunnex from Amazon, those actually are the same as Mac or Matco, I forget which. Stanley/Proto owns Mac and contracts out quite a bit. Snapon hand tools are just Snapon, their other tools are sometimes contracted and sometimes not. I think they do make some of their own air tools but not all of them, their upper echelon stuff like the MG impact is wholly their own.

The 400 is actually better suited for MSRH, my local track. It's also a lot more fun and a better tool to work on my actual riding skills/lap times. 

 

Also, the 400 is a lot more fun(easier) to work on and a lot cheaper to get track ready. Example: a full exhaust for the Honda cost 2.2k while a full exhaust for the 400 was maybe $650.
