After a good cleaning, I tried the Super Lube and My Ferret now operates so quiet and smooth, that I'm using that exclusively in all my ratchets.

I've got to go with G for Government.

I’ve never seen one like that.

Thanks for the info! Now I wonder who would need a 1953 transmission tool?

Came from a long closed Ford dealer.

Someone gave this to my nephew who passed it to me. It is stamped Manzel-Buffalo 7195

That's why I bought PROTO this time.

I never understood the deal with 12 point sockets. Most fasteners are 6 points, so why would you ever want to use a 12 point on it? When I installed the intake on my Mustang, I bought a set of 12 point stainless bolts just so I could try a 12 point socket on what is was made for!

Visited Tractor Supply and Rocky's Hardware to pick up a bunch of Channel Lock Products! :)

Decided it was finally time to get a decent set of 6-point metric sockets in 1/2" Drive.

Thank you for the update. I'm glad I bought them back when I did.

How long ago did Petersen quit making vice grips? I thought one of mine was a Petersen, but it turns out I have 3 of the Petersen brand, so I'm thinking I bought them a lot longer ago than I thought.

Thanks, I never thought it would have been marked upside down.

Okay, I snapped a couple of pictures out in the garage today:

I recently bought a nice working Snap-On F-70N Ratchet. I'm looking at the date-code and it appears to look like a 9, so I'm assuming it is indicating 1939?

Personally, I just had to buy a 3/4" set to deal with 2-1/2" nuts.

That's why there's that drawer marked RATCHETS.

I came across a good article on ratchet selection and maintenance on the Gray Tools of Canada website: https://shopgraytools.com/blogs/news/80736260-how-to-choose-and-maintain-your-next-ratchet

The finish seems much nicer than the other two.

My Dad bought this chest new back in 1973 or 1974. I inherited it when he passed.
