I picked up the big brother to your set at an estate sale a couple of weekends back. Most of it appears unused. Ratchet mechanism is tight and smooth as can be. A dab of S-K ratchet grease and it is ready for another 40-50 years.:thumbup:
I was leaning towards that answer also, but seems like it would be hard to hear a squeak or rattle over the sound of a ******** large enough to accomplish that.
Anybody here that can clue me in on the automotive uses of this BlackHawk Vehicle ******** Model R-2 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390261488127&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
