Craftsman ratchet ID please

[Spn1025]

I've had this ratchet for a long time now. It was given to me by my father. So more than anything, it's sentimental value. I'm guessing it's 20 or so years old? I could be way off. That's why I'm asking you experts. I always thought it was USA made, but I don't see that stamped on it.

Is this USA? Is it their standard ratchet, professional, industrial, whatever? All I know is it's 1/2" drive and rugged as hell, and I love the thumb wheel on it for fast spinning.

Give me a sec, gotta get on Tapatalk for pics

Those are 90's if I remember correctly. When stanley was the oem for the sockets and ratchets. Those ratchets are taiwan made, husky also sold the same ones when stanley was the oem as well. They are okay, I have a bunch of the husky ones and craftsman ones. I have a full set of craftsman ones, another 3/8 cman, and one 3/8 husky, one 1/4 taiwan and one 1/4 usa. They work okay, I have the non usa husky's in my car bag and the craftsman ones are in the basement box along with the stanley era sockets.

Some might refer to those as the Tri-Wing selector. A common Craftsman to find. Some are stamped Taiwan, some aren't.

It doesn't have the most gear teeth in the world, but I love this ratchet. I need to get a 1/4 and 3/8

Sorry if this is inappropriate but if you want those I wouldn't mind parting with mine. I am down in Manchester, if you want to buy them pm me and we can work out the details if you want.

Glad you like them. Thanks for the meter, really liking it so far. Going to come in handy in the summer when trying to clean up the electrical in the garage.
