More Ebay madness!!

[64merc]

Maybe this is common, but I didn't realize people went so crazy for vintage Cman ratchets. I'm pretty sure I've seen one of these before. I'll have to start going to the flea market again.....

Interesting! I'd never seen a spinner like that before ...
Wonder if anybody still makes anything like that

 

[billymade]

I think those ratchets are relatively, rare.... when I worked at Sears, I didn't that that many of them, the 6 plus years I worked there!

 

[goodfellow]

It's the long "V" series that get's people excited. The spinner was sold seperately for many years.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I never even knew they made them!

I personally can't appreciate it, but to each his own I guess.
He also has the 3/8 for sale with the badass reverse lever.

The non-quick release version is seen less than the other types. I have 3-4 different versions of the long handle older =v= ones.

I'm ignorant-what makes it a "V" series and why are they valuable? I've seen ratchets like this (pear head without a quick release button), albeit not a long handle version, and wasn't aware they were collectable. Thanks in advance for the info.

Bummer. Sold a long handled one at a garage sale for $15 last year. Ooops! Don't know what numbers it had on the handle, if any. I know it did not have the quick release.

Hi MOPAR - mine doesn't have a number on it, only "forged in USA" and a "V" on it.

Do a search here for the Craftsman time frame thread or go to Alloy-artifacts site. The =v= is the older of that series (the 60s), then later on they used =v= with a part #, then I think next was =vv= with a part #.

"Jaw Drop" I would buy a new one and bend it in the vice...still cheaper

More Craftsman 1/2" drive ratchet madness:

Have this Craftsman in the collection, as well as an unstamped example of this same ratchet.

I found it hard to match the guys description to what he had pictured, big bucks for this old Craftsman 1/2" drive set & more:

Here is a good one to add, i won a set of 3 wrench's on flee bay today. Good deal had free shipping on it.I payed for the item went and had a shower come back and there is a request in my email for money from the seller via paypal wanting another 28$ for "service" i emailed and asked the seller what was going on, i get "the item is listed as "used"(and it looks it) but it is only missing its box there for i have to charge you HST on the item as well as shipping charges"

So i had to email eBay and ask them WTH to do with this..i feel some one bending me over.
