Looking for a ready ratchet equivalent

[becker_atc]

Coworker has one of these. It's real handy for a tool bag



3/8" drive and stores an assortment of sockets in the handle. I saw few on eBay but was wondering if something is in current production

Interesting form factor, but...I'm not sold its more practical than a small clamshell toolbox or a toolroll and a zip-loc full of sockets.

Yea, I'd have to say that I think a regular ratchet and a small portable socket rail might be more convenient. Seems limited with the few sockets it carries.. but I've never seen something else like it.

I saw an Ad for a Litton "Pocket Socket" once back in the 80s in a magazine. It was a 1/4" drive version of the same idea. I have never seen one in the wild.

Not if you're storing it in a small tool or saddle bag on a motorcycle.
