Huge Ratchet, Chevron ad...

[Outlawmws]

At least I think its a Chevron TV add. I've seen it a couple of times during ball games, behind some Chevron spokeswoman/supposed employee...

Round head with an adapter on it, I believe 1" or 3/4" on the output

Ratchet is huge! Maybe 1-1/2" drive?

Anyone else seen the ad? And can anyone ID the ratchet?

OK, after some effort I found it! thanks for the search link Brian! I had to narrow the search, but got it!

So here is a screen shot of the over all vid, followed by the Closeup, showing the ratchet, a box of LARGE sockets, some big Channelocks in the foreground and a Wilton vise on the back of the bench!

And a link to the Youtube:

So! Who can ID the ratchet? Currently 219 views, no one has even tried!

I think its a torque multiplier

Looks like a torque multiplier, not a ratchet.

I'd put some torque on her multiplier. Probably shatter a socket or two in the process. No warranty would cover it.

Maybe she isn't to scale and the ratchet is normal size

Looks like torq multiplier though I've never seen one in person.

I'm not sure your torque wrench would be enough

Looks very much like my X-4 torque multiplier, though a larger model.

I have the LW750, and use it with a 1/2" adaptor - that looks the same, but at least a size up. That finial drive after the adaptor is at least 3/4th". They make one that weighs 73lb, and is rated for 12k ftlb output.... so there's lots of options, each one more ******** than the last.

I could be wrong, it could be a swench or something, considering the blacked sockets.

*edit* if you feel the need to own one, there's currently a lot-auction on ebay, with buy it now for 95 dollars after shipping, with a seller who will work with you (and pick you out a nicer one), selling the littlest X-4, it's where I got mine - they look beat up, but they're in great internal shape, mine looked just about unused inside, though I pulled it apart and re-greased it all. It's about 400 bucks off retail, for just some cosmetic wear. Doesn't come with a reaction bar, though - DOES come with an X-4 perfatorque limiter, which is now rebuilt and part of my lugnut rig,

I got one of those at Harbor Freight for $9.99 on sale!

I'm sincerely sorry.

Feels great to own the real thing. You're safe, it works like it should, and you don't have that gnawing guilt that never really goes away, for making a purchase thas screams "I hate america".

Hopefully she has a 1/4" drive adapter for you.

Interesting Ad though. Oh well, happy with all our Chevron lube, especially Delo. Cheap and runs forever.
