OK, not as sexy as an endoscope but these are pretty f'ing cool. I didn't even know that 3° ratchets existed until last night. I waited overnight to see if i could get over the desire to have these in my toolbox. The want was still there this morning so i ordered them from Amazon this morning and they were delivered about an hour ago. Sata is made by Apex tools in Taiwan. They also make Gearwrench and Crescent. The ratchet mechanism is silky smooth on these and clicks 120 times per rev! I can't believe they can sell them at this price. They are also sold as Gearwrench XL120 but at 2X the price. Polish is really nice and the handles look like Snap-On. I can't wait to get out in the garage and use them. The snap-ring on the front leads me to believe they can be disassembled to lube or rebuild, but I have no idea if kits will become available. At $60 including tax, everybody needs a set of these! https://www.amazon.com/SATA-Professional-Dual-Pawl-60-Tooth-Heavy-Duty/dp/B07V1ZRZ29/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2LDTOMMH1IDF8&keywords=sata+ratchet+3%2F8&qid=1673318993&sprefix=sata+rat%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-4

Been awhile but we made it through Thanksgiving, family vacay, Christmas and New Years, and a week of my brother being in the hosp, but my FiL helped dad weld the engine mounts and this evening dad and I test fitted the engine and trans. Now dad can drill the holes for the trans mount tomorrow and we can start making more progress hopefully. Still gonna be awhile before it's done but it's getting there.
