Title: What Husky Generation Is this 24202??
Post by: dimwittedmoose51 on April 01, 2012, 06:12:44 PM

When you Google a Husky 24202 ratchet, you get a myriad of Home Depot rats, and a few from earlier generations, but I've yet to find one with this particular Husky logo with the right side of the "H" has the tail that slides under the "U".    It's a quick release ratchet in that you push in the eintire switch to get the socket to drop.  The end of the handle has a bit of a Snap ON shape to it, but no grooves cut in near where the diameter shrinks like one photo I saw on line.  It can't be as old as the CS series, so where do I go from here.  AA wasn't any help.

That looks like a Stanley-era Husky. The handle design may have originated with National Hand Tools (not sure) and NHT acquired Husky ~1984. Stanley, in turn, bought NHT in 1986 .

There is a Craftsman ratchet with the same release. Someone here has posted one...

Stanley still uses that handle on ratchets for many brands.
