Does anyone have a NB NS12 that has a selector lever? Recently got one in a lot of tools and lever was snapped off. Few taps with a punch after disassembly and the last 1/8 of an inch left is out but I can't find a single pic of the lever online to use as a example for making a new one. Don't know how they work but the ones I'm seeing are more like a traditional round head core and body with a button instead of the two piece anvil head and body with a selector lever like mine.

If it’s from the Litton era, a Blackhawk version would be the same. There’s a 3/8” drive Blackhawk version on the bay right now. Looks very similar.

Looks to be the same. Pretty simple handle as long as I can find a little metal lathe to do the grooves. Was kinda expecting it to be like my snap on 67 and just be a round stock with the end rounded off.

This is my 1/2" New Britain and its cousin. A None Better in 3/8" There are more pictures of the 1/2" one and some input from another member in the New Britain thread. Somewhere around page 40 or 45.

Thanks! It's the same lever as the blackhawk I found on ebay too. I'll check out the thread when I get a chance.
