The site glass covers on mine looks exactly like: Craftsman #3992 24 Which is easily found online, the only differences I can see is mine has slotted screws vs phillips, mine does not say Craftsman on it, and where the craftsman ones say 3992, mine just says "pat appl d' for" k

Thanks! But this doesnt take to me to any downloadable content. k

Those are both fantastic suggestions!!! I bet either would do the trick, ill use whichever one my local hardware store carries. Thank you much! k

Does anyone know what this putty like material is? Its holding in the bubble tubes, and it was also used to hold the round glass covers in place as well. It is dry and hard, but it softens when wet. Would like to find something similar to install the new glass with. thanks for any input k

Thanks! Yea I figured it was pretty old! Just too bad there are no makers marks! Would paint color give any clues? It's like a deep navy blue, Stanley? Anyways, I'm just excited to get it looking brand new again! K

Hey guys, This is purely out of curiosity. I'm wondering who the maker of this aluminum level is? Got this from my dad a long time back. I think it was my grandpas. Most of the glass is missing or so dirty its hard to use, so Im going to strip her down, get new glass, paint her, and make it...

Ha, thats great, it really makes sense! thanks k

Well geez I learn another new thing, never knew they were called that, but totally makes sense!! thanks k

Yes! Thats awesome, you can bring it back to life, and please report back when you do!!!! k

Those are awesome! Yea I've never had anything like it! K

All this information is awesome!!!! I feel the odd man out lol because I really have nothing to add, except that I am really enjoying this ratchet! Its the odd man out when it comes to my circe 2008 craftsman ratchets :LOL:, which I love, and have served my flawlessly, but man, this snap on...

Ok cool. Any reason for the differences such as flat head screws vs Phillips, and no dash between AT and 8022? And was the head of mine shaved down, mine is a little uneven it appears, and your seems a little wider? K

This doesn't appear to be cadmium plated does it? I've read of risks associated with cadmium. It looks like bare steel to me but I don't know. K

Thanks! I am oddly enjoying this piece! It feels great in the hand! How do I tell if it's coated? This ratchet had zero rust or any surface corrosion, probably because of the three layers of electrical tape that was on it. Thanks for all the info! K

Is this ratchet more common in the UK? Since it's one of the more standard tools in the set? And since it's pre-50s its not coated In anything right? K

What have I done lol. Opened a can of worms. This is awesome though! This thread has more information than I could find on the web for this ratchet and its companions. I appreciate everyone's input. I just wish I had something I could add, but I'm just a student here! Ill add a dumb question...

I love this, thanks for all this information and possibilities, the coolest thing about this is the history. Its proving very difficult to find any information of other ratchets of this type, or other examples of where others have found them, which is strange to me! So I appreciate all this...

Thanks for even more info! I'm excited about the history of this piece! K

:ROFLMAO: Its funny, because that day, I broke my vise, and quickly checked craiglist for one, and saw this one for free. It wasnt until I got to the owners house where he had it sitting for me to pick up, that I realized how big and stinking heavy it was lollolol. Last vise Ill ever need k
