^ You cannot usually find the ratchet that cheap. (see post 4799) For that price you can buy them as stocking-stuffers for your grandchildren.

It is great that it is made in Germany, but no brand? That is a bit scary. I guess you may have to buy it?

This new Ebay seller just listed about a dozen very nice socket sets, most of which are in repainted boxes.

Well worth a look if you have no objections to the boxes having been reworked.

That Wright-made Powr-Kraft set is pretty fabulous - even has the tommy bar in it! :thumbup:

I have one of those somewhere. It came with my Mosin, which about ten years ago sold for the whopping charge of $85.

Do you know what the capacity is? I'm thinking of getting one to carry oil to make premix gas on my moped rides- currently I use an empty film canister

I think it's up in the crawlspace, so I'll go look for it later.

I would estimate it has the capacity of a 35mm film container, maybe a bit more.

New message from: razman24 (963iconPurpleStar_25x25.gif)​

I honestly don’t know. Just did a online search and can’t find capacity. It’s approximately 2.5” diameter and 1.5” thick. So each compartment is comparable to a film container. I’m out of town for a death in the family. When I get back this weekend I can try to figure out capacity. Maybe remind me Sunday if you don’t hear back from me. Thanks for the link to my item.
I’ve got some other cool stuff in my store as well.

* not necessarily "hot" *

My favorite Ebay Indestro seller just listed quite a few items - all onesie-twosies - of Indestro, S-K, Craftsman, Blue-Point, Bonney, Herbrand, and a fabulous pair of Eagle Claw pliers, among other things.

Great guy to do business with. He usually gives me a fair discount depending on number of items purchased. Well worth a look if you need to fill holes.

YMMV

* shipping costs may vary just because! *

* Just a note: When I look through ebay listings, if I see something that might be appropriate to post here, I'll add it to my "watch list". That way I have it marked so I can go back and find it later. On many of these items, the seller will shoot me an offer right away. These items were all added to my "watch list" within the last two hours. I have noted the seller's "best offer" on those where one was received. *

There are some nice drawer units/cabinets coming up on the govplanet auction in Maryland if anyone wants to give it a try. I expect these will end up selling for pretty much retail once the bidding ends and the fees are tacked on, but being Christmas Eve who knows.

FLEET (Proto/Penens Group) 12 pieces 1/2" drive 12-point SAE shallow sockets, ratchet, extension
7/16" - 15/16"
used. crazy cheap.
$24.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

I watched these for a week or so. Then fell for the line "crazy cheap". They arrived yesterday. A little elbow grease, wire pipe brush and a Brillo pad and the sockets and extension cleaned up beautifully. The ratchet is a little unhappy. One of the original screws is gone, and the mechanism is a little balky. I am going to open it up and investigate. I am wondering if there is a Proto rebuild kit that would work.

Anyway, thanks for the post, and Merry Christmas.

^ That particular ratchet is the equivalent of a 1661 Penens. I just received one a few days ago. I had given my other one to a friend and wanted another, because it had an amazingly smooth action for such an old low-tooth model. Pretty simple mechanism inside - not much to go wrong. The Penens model occurs frequently in Ebay listings. Fleet not so much. I would assume they're the same inside:
Penens 1661 1.2 dr (22-tooth) ratchet (disassembled).jpg
I just opened this one up and it's bone dry inside and the action was .... "acceptable". I would imagine it will be much better with a good cleaning and a bit of lubrication.
Let me know how it goes with that one of yours.

So of course the wrapping was blown for some ratchet surgery. Under the grunge it said 1661 so must be the same.

FleetMounted.jpg

Got the holder on a GJ AWD NonTool Duker post!

FleetRatchet1.jpg

FleetRatchet2.jpg

Looks pretty much identical. Now we will see if I can figure out how to put it back together!

Merry Christmas!
