Ratchet drawers

Never saw them either till a few years then I started buying every pair I saw at the flea market. They do come in handy every once in awhile

Guess I'm showing my age ( or my tools are hahaha) But that's what sockets came in long ago before the plastic trays they come in now, the 4 red ones are Mac, one other is Wright and I think at least two are Matco and the rest are Snap On

They're all USA made ( each a different manufacturer ) bent nose slip joint pliers. This on is Diamond

Few more

Can't load more than 3 pictures, so I chose the socket drawers. Any interest and I'll post more

Besides ADT, 10 cameras and lets just call it 'personal security' we feel pretty secure. In addition bars will be installed in the next few days

Just setting up in a new shop. I'll post some drawer pictures after I get them arranged again

Picked this model 800 up today, dated 1974, works great! For $30 I'm pretty happy

This is the lock plate and bars, I gave up trying to find that hinge long ago. I don't have a key but I could be talked out of the whole assembly if you can't find one.

Since high tooth count ratchets shine in low clearance situations and I was only picking one drive size it would be 3/8". 1/4" ratchets are naturally smaller than 3/8" so they'll fit in confined areas the majority of the time. Believe the average mechanic would benefit more from having fine...

Picked one up a few weeks ago for $500, there's another one on Craigslist 2 towns over listed for $600. Even with side box $2500 is way out of line

Reading through this thread I've seen some crazy prices thrown around regarding the prices of Snap On ratchets. The F80 lists for 104.95 on the Snap On website, and nice used ones can be found on ebay everyday for right around $60. Not a lot of money for what you're getting.

Using this theory there would be no use for Sub- Zero refrigerators, Cadillacs or Lincolns, hell use a bucket and brush, why get a Safety Kleen or Justrite parts washer. High end products are that for a reason, there's a need. They've proven themselves to be better. And really Snap On ratchets...

I'd ad Proto to your list, very good sockets at a decent price

Use the flex head for removing the right rear spark plug on older RWD Cadillacs. 1/4" drive with an adapter is to long but that ratchet with a standard spark plug socket is perfect. Just one example but once you have them you'll find many uses for them

Have two Snap On and a Wright 3/8" in 1/4" bodies, also have two 1/2" in 3/8" bodies, use them all

Majority of my sockets are truck brand with a few Proto, Wright and USA Williams mixed in, but I have Gearwrench in semi deep, shallow and deep impacts in 1/4" drive. No complaints at all

X2 for USA black handled Williams, dollar for dollar best deal out there

Offset screwdriver, just used one this morning for the first time in probably 15 years to loosen the bottom screw on the automatic choke in my car so I can adjust it
