These ratchets were originally designed for the military. They were looking for a heavy-duty ratchet that could perform in harsh environments and that was easy to clean.
i found a vintage open gear wrench like this rusted solid in an old tool box. i could hardly believe the amount of abuse i gave that 3/8 ratchet over the years and it took it all. i finally sheared a tooth off though so i need a new one. i was worried i'd have to buy another vintage one from ebay, but then i found wright tools. i'll get a 3/8" and a 1/2" this time.
Could you please stop showing me tools that I don't need but want until you have a distributor in Germany? Seriously. Shipping, taxes and customs make me poor.
