Gearless Ratchets ????

[HubbaBubba]

Ok.

Few days ago I posted a thread for Blackhawk Free Wheeling Ratchets.

Lets try "gearless", "reversible slip clutch", ect ratchets other than Blackhawk.

Made in U.S.A.

I have seen a few other brands but.....

Thanks for looking.....again.

I have a BOG 1/2 drive double-headed gearless ratchet, long-handled version. Uncommon, to say the least.

When I got it, it didn't slip. But after taking it apart to clean and lube it, it slips. Maybe gearless rats don't like Permatex red. I don't know.

Here is a picture; it's at the bottom of the group:

I'd like $40 plus shipping for it. If that's too high, I understand. But I always hunt for oddballs, and when I know one is really uncommon, I can't let them go cheap, or I have cold sweats and bad dreams.

I understand. Cold sweats and bad dreams are not good. After a good cleaning and slips huh... if it aint broke, don't fix it. I dont know where I heard that one but.....

Thanks for the reply, you sure you don't have a "free wheel-er" Blackhawk, perhaps 3/8's in your stash you would like to part with??????

I don't have any of those fancy Blackhawk freewheelers, no. Sorry. Although they come up for sale pretty often, they still seem to sell for more than I want to spend.

Got some help from Bull.... anyone else?????

Still searching.....thanks...

Aren't they the same as Sprag Clutches?

No reason I can think of why they can't take a bit of power.

You will like the Black Hawk if you find one. I found one here on GJ. keep an eye open

I DID find a Blackhawk 1/2 freewheeling ratchet a few years ago. That one started me looking for more.

Back to the top....help me out GJ!!!!

I do have a 1/2" Freewheeling Blackhawk posted here. Funny I just came across it Sunday in a box of stuff I bought.
