My guess is that someone got creative with a welder and a couple of import ratchets. Definitely different.

Going to agree. If you look on the right side under the wheel, there is a machined flat spot. The other side doesn't have the same flat.

I didn't see that until you mentioned it. But the left handle seems as if it may be up against a ring or flat surface, mounted somehow differently than the right.

Wow, that is awesome! I thought the "show us your custom handled ratchets" thread was cool, now I think we need a "show us your custom TWO handled ratchets" thread...

A while back I had to throw away a bunch of ratchets because the handle was on the wrong side. This would have solved that problem.

My first thought was I would hate to have to move the selector back and forth while tapping.

Yep. That was my second thought. Does anyone make a ratchet that has Fwd, Rev, & Locked?.........I've had some FUBAR ones that work that way when you don't want them too. lol

a tap handle like the Ko-ken one:




but for the OP model, manufacturer didn't want to made complete new tooling and re-used/modified some ratchet forging dies they had lyin' around.
