[mixxmstrmike]

Good grief! Those Craftsman Pro handled ratchets are simply, dare I say... stunning?!?!

Well done again,
Mike

Here's a complete set of Craftsman thin-profile ratchets with Craftsman Professional handles:

I just know a set of these will wind up in my tool box, lol as pretty as the raised panels are these will actually get the job done. Very Very nice

How do get you get the hard handles off??

 

[muddyjoe15]

Here's something for those who don't like the Craftsman option: a 3/8" SK 45170 ratchet with an handle from an old SK file (same as their screwdriver handles?).

Or a cheap-o 1/4" Popular Mechanics ratchet with a Snap-On wannabe handle:

Theres a great idea for SK, Id love to have a ratchet like that!!!

I drilled down to the "flaps" that keep the shank from spinning, put a wood block under the handle then pulled it off with 2 prybars.

Very nice work gj67Stang...great craftsmanship. I agree with others that your labor prices deserved to be bumped up and will still be more than fair.

Very cool. Did you use glue to attach the handle and what kind of glue? Thanks JR

 

[camarotoolman]

Would you be interested in trading out some stock ratchets for some of yours. I also have some craftsman plastic handles. Email if interested. Thanks

Nope, just a 0.010" press fit keeps them together.

I sure hope they go cheap, I'd love to wish you the best of luck but I'm the current high bidder

 

[Joe B.]

I moved you up to 55 for the Pros. Someone was on top of that. Maybe I'll push it a little further. (Not shill bidding, I would be happy to have them for that price!)

 

[eborcim]

Look what arrived today! I like it!

 

[Bikes&Bowties]

Where do you get the handles for all these things?

Where do you get the handles for all these things?

I sacrifice screwdrivers, files, prybars, nutdrivers, etc. to make my custom ratchets.

 

[gearhead1]

I realize this is an old thread, but this is awesome!

 

[theamcguy]

Wow nice work. Wonder if the hard handle Craftsman are still available.

 

[d.mcfarland]

Wow nice work. Wonder if the hard handle Craftsman are still available.

Umm ... they are custom.

 

[theamcguy]

Right you are. I ordered a set from the OP gj67stang on the off chance that they still may be available and he made me up a set. They are really nice if you are looking for a unique tool.

 

[stage20]

good thinking. Great product!

 

[gj67stang]

Thank you for the kind words and compliments!

I'm still making tools via custom order, so feel free to contact me with any questions or requests.
