Available in 1/4 and 3/8 drive sizes, its hard to imagine where something with that offset would be needed, but there they are. Here's where they come from

Although I have seen the dual sided ratchet at the checkout of most auto parts stores, I have never seen a ratchet like the universal driver where there is what looks like 1/2 and 1/4 combined on one side of the ratchet with a 3/8 drive on the opposite side. Wow, 3 drive sizes on one ratchet, that's definitely an idea that looks better on paper than in reality. The handle of the universal driver closely ressembles the new Mac and Proto handles. Who buys this stuff?

Those are made by Pittsburg. They have some other really neat looking ratchets also. They produce some very innovative tools not made by other tool makers. You can get them at HF.

Pittsburgh is not a manufacturer. HF buys those from the same source and sells them in their stores branded "Pittsburgh."

I dunno... I have an indexing ratchet that I have used a grand total of twice. I really don't see myself needing any of those "innovations." Generally those kill-two-or-more-birds-with-one-stone tools don't do anything very well.... at least in my experience.
