I got this Bonney T707 in a tool lot at a auction recently. Sold off the rest of the tools and made about $20 so this ratchet didnt cost me anything :bounce: This ratchet is amazing! I believe I counted 72 teeth and measures 7 1/4" long. I have a F80 and this thing is smoother to me than my F80. Its incredible. I do not believe it can be disassembled from the looks of it but other than that it suits me perfect. The handle is great and just feels comfortable in your hand. Im not sure the age of this ratchet but it is in incredible shape, been very well taken care of. If any of you guys ever get one and are looking to sell it please let me know. I would love to get the 1/2" and 1/4" version of this ratchet but im not sure what the part number would be? I rarely see any bonney ratchets from this style on eBay so I imagine my search will be a tough one. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics.

You answered a question I have had for a long time. I have the same ratchet but is marked Dayton electric and it is the smoothest ratchet I have ever owned. I counted the teeth a few times and came up with 92. As I never saw a ratchet like that I was thinking they actually made it. I have read on here Dayton Electric was Grainger’s brand. If I can figure out how to post photos I will post to the tread. I have had it a few years and it cost ten dollars or less but is a complete ½” ratchet set with breaker bar extensions and metal case. I purchased a newer Dayton Electric Ratchet which I didn’t keep and it was a Williams Super Ratchet but with bad quality. I like the Dayton like yours so much I haven’t dareed to use it. Great find by the way

Thats exactly what I was thinking haha im afraid to put any kind of serious torque on it for fear of breaking it and not being able to find another one lol. I use it for average low torque situations only. I could only imagine what the 1/4" version feels like. Im collecting the Williams Superratchets as well whenever I find them and not much compares to the feel of those either. Great durable ratchets overall.

I agree, love mine that I picked up at a Flea Market a while back.

I also have a TT707-2 which is also a good ratchet but I like the handle on the T707 better.

The T707's are fine tooth'd which together with the pawl can be interchanged with the (not as fine tooth'd) TT707's, the B-Hex ZT 707's, Dayton ZT707's. Unfortunately you have to cut open the T707's as they're sealed from the factory.

The three American tool companies that I still miss are Diamond Tool and Horseshoe, the before Snap-On version of J. H. Williams and Utica (Bonny) They made really nice stuff. I don't feel the same way about S-K. I just never felt they were unique or special in any way. The Williams B54 flex head is still my favorite ratchet and I've got a tool box full of ratchets.
