Thank you both for your posts, the information was very useful and I am tempted to keep it as you can still feel that it is a quality item.
Thanks again, rich
Hi My name is Rich and I live in Chichester, England. I picked up this 20 tooth ratchet at a boot sale and think that it may be snap-on, possibly 1940 s ? the only markings on it are A-59444. Would anyone be able to give me any more information.
