Patriot Ratchet?

[CTyankee]

Installing some lag bolts today and a co-worker pulled one of these out of his tool box. Said he got it from his grandfather. Couldn't find any info but saw this one on Ebay. Seems fairly well made. Anyone ever hear of them?

Looks similar to proto/plomb

I've got 3/8" and 1/2" versions - made by Duro Metal Products. You'll find the same ratchet branded for Duro Chrome, Indestro, Pioneer, Westline, Westcraft, and Wizard. No idea who's store brand Patriot was.

Another member on here has the same ratchet......kinda funny to read the posts where he speared himself with a screwdriver trying to take it apart.

Thanks guys. Passed on the info posted up here. The co-worker was happy to learn a little bit more about his ratchet.
