Anybody have any luck with any sort of open end ratcheting wrench? I’d like a 3/4 for the tensioning bolt on some alternators.

I've heard some people who like the snap on speed wrenches..
I've also used a ratcheting flare wrench for similar applications and it worked okay enough that I would buy a set for the right price.

purchased one because I needed to to replace steering clutched in a dozer
one is jammed and will not ratchet anymore and I can not figure out how to take it apart. I use it like a normal wrench now hoping it will break free
got another one and finished the job.
I wanted to like them, but I am not sold
remember if it doesn't have the clicky lever to change directions you can get yourself stuck

I had some Chicago Brand ones that I really liked, I've lost all but one at this point and it appears they're real tough to come by now. They were the shit for power steering or transmission cooler lines.

I've had a set of those in SAE for over 25 years. The 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16 get used regularly and have held up fine. The set only goes up to 5/8 and don't remember ever seeing a 3/4 version.

Srx24 is the 3/4 I believe. They don't make them in sae currently but they do make a metric set and a 19 is usually close enough.I've had a set of those in SAE for over 25 years.
