New proto ratchets, just in from grainger!!!

[48548]

I was trying to find these used on the classifieds, but bought them from grainger instead... Here are some pictures, I don't know if I like the flex head, I was hoping for the older style looking at the picture, but this is what I got and not made in USA either, made in italy(J4757f)-grainger part number 2ceg1. Also the other is a 3/8 head in a 1/4 body 5248S-grainger part number 1ah61. And I got them for quite a bit off the web site price at j4757f(web price 42.55) for 26.99 and 5248s(web price 27.75) for 17.46.


This is what I was hoping for, but didn't get.

These are what I got.

I agree, the flex head looks kind of goofy to me, but I like the lil 3/8 drive in 1/4 body

Interesting how the fine tooth is "Made in Italy"; I wonder who the OEM is? Is this related to the Facom/Stanely/SK connection?

5 degrees, 72 teeth, like all of the toptul roto heads, or sk with the little heart shaped spring that when you turn the top moves the gear to change directions, you can see how to take it apart in the directions above. Seems really fine to me, needs RLL.

I'm thinking I like the one they sent you better. It has the Facom style head and looks like it's got a screw going through the joint instead of a pin. And it's made in Italy. You can call it the "Italian Stallion."
