It's the one with the ratchet in the middle between a vertical handle and a horizontal handle.
I don't know if anybody is interested, but the link will show it to you.

I bet it goes for close to $100.
I think it will top out at around $125.00

There are 2 of them at least on eBay at the moment, one just sold a few days ago for $79.90 plus shipping.
The seller said he has had it for 55 years. I find that hard to believe, because I do not think that Craftsman ratchets have been using that style reversing lever for that long. Anyone else have specific knowledge of that factoid?
That direction lever doesn't appear in the 1957 cat. but is in the 1959 cat., and last appears in the 1966 cat. but not in the 1968 cat. I don't think you will find one with a different direction lever unless its been replaced. As for the speeder ratchet, appears
in the 1960 cat but not in the 1964 cat. Hope that helps.

I had one for years but they weren't really very useful. Should have kept it I guess.
Chuck, It didn't look very useful to me either...probably why I don't have one, although I've certainly bought enough other useless stuff.

I tried one my uncle has. I didn't really care for it, maybe Ime just not use to it thoe.
Its different but just not practical in my oppoion.
I like mine, as a collectible, not a user. They were only in a couple of catalogs. I think mine is from between 1960 and 1962.
I liked it best as a user on a long extension, kind of like a long T handle wrench.
I keep itvwith my "v" series tools.

Long enough to sell, anyway!
I want one, but for $25!

I am much more of a tightwad. I paid $1.12, of which 65c was shipping. Mine is in great shape, except for a scratched owners mark.

The fact a majority desire them, coupled with my perception of their being less than handy, has me completely disinterested in owning one. It does seem to consistently bring a nice price on Ebay, so I wouldn't mind "finding" one.

I wouldn't mind finding one of those fir a dollar, or even two. I shoukd qualify my price. I bought a tool lot, which included seven or eight ratchets and wrench sets.

I have a half of one.It came in a box of misc. tools from the flea market. At first I thought it was a stubby ratchet, but noticed the grinding.
Someone chopped off the upright handle part. Guess they didn't think the handle was a good idea either.
I was looking at mine with my older son who was visiting at Thanksgiving. We were discussing it, how it isn't very useful and how collectors like it, and I showed him the 1960 Sears Craftsman catalog when it was introduced, then the 1964 where it wasn't offered anymore.
I thought then that it would have made a nice stubby ratchet.
I would like to see a picture of your modified rat, Bunger. Do you have plans for your 1/2 ratchet?
