Could you identify this 1/2" ratchet?

This ratchet has no finish, appears to be heavy duty, carries no markings except the number 5018834.

I'd say Snap On, made for a govt contract or industrial customer. It's older.

Greenlee. Don't know much about them but have seen them on ebay. Their website says they make tools for electricians.

Thanks very much! Model number matches. Surprised that they did not put their name on it.

Snapon, made for Greenlee knockout sets.

Snapon, made for Greenlee knockout sets.

Hence the long, 15" handle. I think I need one to go with my Greenlee knockout punch set--but most of mine are old enough to have square heads.

Does it have 24 or 32 teeth? Looks like a S715 or SL715. Odd that it doesn’t have the date code. The eBay one linked above is 1976.

You could use 8 point sockets.
