I've found there to be a whole range of stuff at HF... For instance, this
is one of the better "regular" ratchets I've ever used:

... and I've used lots of craftsman, snap-on, mac, etc. stuff.

I've got a bunch of those too, but I don't really like them for work on a
car. Half because the shaft is bigger and sometimes doesn't fit and half
because its about guaranteed that it'll come apart when I'm contorted in
some weird position.
