Canada, eh
I got this from a cow-orker who was cleaning out his toolbox. It sat in my home box for a year before I realized it might be an OK wrench...

Can anyone identify it? (Not the Williams, obviously - the other one.) Single-pawl, probably about 45 teeth, internals look a lot like one of my Wrights. No markings whatsoever. The chances of it being a Canadian store brand are high.

The handle looks alot like the Granco I got from HJE. I then made a gear assembly for it and turned it into a useable ratchet.

Store brand sounds right to me. I have something that looks identical; it came out of a socket set purchased I think in the 80s or 90s, that came in a green metal case with some K-Mart branding and looked a lot like this set from ebay, but with more sockets I think:

It's all pretty junky stuff, sockets say Taiwan but I don't think there are markings on the ratchet. The ratchet has at least held up better than the sockets, which break at the drop of a hat, but it'd probably be the last one I'd reach for and I don't exactly have a great selection.
