Oh,yes, very nice....

But...

What he has started...now you need a set of 5/8 drive sockets to go with it..

And extensions...

And a breaker bar....

And a Speeder....

And a box to put it all in...

Woe...the journey begins with a single step...

teeheee

And later to convert all the components to the same '27 date code........


I have a quest of my own going that direction.   Its not easy at all.

Very nice ratchet! I have always wondered that the early Snap-on and the Blackhawk ratchets look almost identical. Was there a connection between the two?
