McMaster - Fine control ratchets?

[Biomed]

McMaster sells these "fine control" ratchets in 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive.

The McMaster web site claims the ratchets have a series of rollers in the ratcheting assembly. Since McMaster does not offer manufacturer information on the web site or by phone, does anyone recognize the manufacturer of these? Anyone have one or used one?

The 1/4" drive ratchets come with a 3 1/2" or 5 1/2" handle. I thought these might be handy for working in confined areas.

I don't have any mcmastercarr rachets but the other tools I've bought have been rebranded ideal.

No idea, but if I were a betting man, I'd bet $1 it's one of the Taiwanese makers like New Tools/Hi-Five or Rotar

Looks like that's it. Wonder if Omega really makes them? McMaster pricing is about half of Omega pricing.

Those prices are for two different lengths. The 5.5" Omega is $49.95, 5.5" McMaster Carr is $44.07.
