ratchet set... metric.... hmmm
« on: July 10, 2016, 12:32:52 PM »
I have a feeling I've asked about these before. I know the drgm drpa refers to german patents... I think . They range from 12mm-36mm. I don't know anything else about them.

Dang, I'm no help. They look like cool ratchet wrenches, but I'm not familiar with any of the tools imported from Germany.

I doubt they have collector value. Make good users though. They don't bring much money ,
since gear wrenches came out , that style is not very desirable as a user.
I have Craftsman sets that get zero interest.

At least not here. Maybe in Europe.

They almost have the look of old ampco tools.

They do look brassy in the photo's.  If so, they may be worth something.

Bird--   do me a favor and apply a magnet to your wrenches.  If the magnet sticks, it's steel.  If the magnet does not stick, it's some other type of metal or metal alloy.
