Blackhawk Ratcheting wrench help

[scarney1988]

Can anyone tell me approximately what year these wrenches were available and their country of origin? Also, what sizes were produced (primarily interested in the metric)? I have a set from 11mm - 19mm.
The pictured wrench is a 19mm Blackhawk 2269R

Thanks in advance.

They're still available today although, the selector switch may be different. I've seen both styles of switches on current stock. They're made in Taiwan.
The Blackhawk set runs, 6, 8-19mm. Good wrenches.

Thanks FedWrench.

I could only find the toggle lever online (new), so I assumed these were slightly older (early 2000s). I have some searching to do for the missing pieces then. A 10mm of these would be quite handy for my day job.

I assume the oval lever pre-dates the toggle lever?

I bought a Stanley set of ratcheting wrenches from Grainger with that same style selector around 2002-2004. Since Stanley is the same parent company it stands to reason they were made in the same plant. They were made in Taiwan. They were the only wrenches I've seen with that style selector.
