Champion Spark Plug Flexhead Ratchet

[bowmard]

Last Sunday I attended a large flea market in Central IL. I stumbled across a vender selling a good variety of mechanics handtools. Among other things I did buy a straight handled Champion Spark Plug Flexhead ratchet. Can anyone tell me who manufactured these 3/8" drive ratchets? Thanks in advance.

New Britian made it. There are several versions, including bent handles.

It was made by New Britain. There are a bunch of threads about them here.

Champion used to hold tune-up clinics for about $20.
The tech got lunch, and a ratchet/extension/plug socket.

When I worked for NAPA back in the early 70s, we sold these ratchets and Champion plug sockets. I have the sockets in, 5/8, 13/16, and 7/8. They were made by New Britain. Very good quality, as were all New Britain tools.
