2 Ratchets I Passed On

[Lewill2]

I'm not a ratchet collector but I saw these 2 in a bin of ratchets at the flea market yesterday. The Indestro has a sheet metal type cover over the geared head. You change direction by flipping the paw, no lever just flip the paw. The Truecraft has what I think is an unusual arrangement. It is like a breaker bar with a permanent ratchet adapter attached. You turn the knurled wheel to change directions. I probably should have picked them up but I didn't

The open gear Indestro's you don't see often, not sure how long they were made. The Truecraft I've not seen one like that.

I can tell you from past experience that the Trucraft ratcheting breaker bar is a really well built tool. I have put pipes on these and they have held up to some serious abuse.

You didn't buy them? Shame, shame!

For penance you need to go back, get them, and send them to me! lol

That one kind of looks like some Thorsen ratchets I have

Yeah, the open gear ratchet is very much like the Thorsen, only it has a rectangular polished handle - the Thorsen is round and knurled (the way I like it).

P&C also had a open gear ratchet . I have several in 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive models.

I've got a deal in progress to get a 1/2" P&C ratchet.
