Thank you, that’s it.

I hate to be this guy but who made them? I’m not talking about ratchets for sockets, but box end combination wrenches. They weren’t forged, and the company had a lot of speciality products. I can’t remember their former name or the new name. I’ve got about an over an hour of searching invested...

The one by Cheater Wrench is the one I found as well. They offer free shipping but oddly charge tax, but less than $22. Keep in mind that disclaimer is for using it with their torque myltplier.

Does anyone know of a 1 inch ratchet to 1/2 inch socket adapter? I found a company that makes torque multipliers selling one but was hoping for a name brand tool. I could just use two adapters but that could get in the way. Im working on a trade for a 1 inch drive Proto ratchet.

Come to Ohio, the store I work in sells them.

I too have a '75 J10.

I own and work older stuff. I wouldn't care if SAE was 100% obesolete I'd keep them. How many guys collect those old odd drive size tools, or those really odd old SAE sizes? I own a '75, '82, '94, and '03 model vehicles. Except for the '03, my vehicles have SAE. My '94 has both so that's lots of...

I work at a store that sells them, mostly Taiwan. Ratcheting wrenches are from China though. It's just one of several brands APEX has.

Only thing American is Proto, Proto's older cheaper brands are now all foreign stuff.

I know this is old but I just acquired one of these for free and thought I'd say I'm a bit hooked on old ratchets. It was seized up solid, soaked it in transmission fluid for a day and took it apart. Wiped everything out and the pieces are soaking. Everything looks to be in good shape.

I've got a set of Mitutoyos and they work good. Measure down to tens.

I just have a Lisle cube to do screw in pistons.

I once found an Armstrong 1 inch drive breaker bar for $45, they had an Evercraft for the same price too. Didn't have the money and went back a few days later. They were gone.

I've only ever took one ratchet apart, 1/2 inch Proto. I cleaned it and covered the internals with wheel bearing grease. Ratchet wouldn't work. I read of people using thin oils, I didn't think that was a good idea so I tried 140 weight. It leaks out.

I have the last two weeks of my spare time getting my tools back in order. I left a bunch laying loose with the last few cars and I've acquired a bunch of random used stuff as well. I have a lot of Craftsman and I don't have a problem with the US stuff. Perfect entry level tool. You'll break...
