Crusing around on ebay and i found this Armstrong ratchet. I dont have much experience with Armstrong ratchets, mainly their lathe tools. Is this a good ratchet? Did i do good for $28 shipped?

You did fine. Only problem with Armstrong is they're a niche brand so their tools sell like **** on the second hand market comparative to what they list for and even compared to dealers street prices. Cant really go wrong with a $28.00 1/2" ratchet though.

Good ratchet, very strong, but a little clunky, very course tooth but after applying some red lube, its pretty smooth. Would never have to worry about it breaking though, that thing is tough. I have a couple.
