Ratchet collection

[joel_400]

Just thought I'd post a pic of the wife's ratchet collection. She started about 5 or 6 years ago when she found a real early SK 45170 3/8 drive at a flea market for 25 cents. Then whenever we we go to a flea market or sale if we found cheap old ratchets we would pick them up. It's a relatively cheap collection if you try to buy nonworking, usually gummed up old ratchets. The most expensive was the Herbrand speed ratchet due to the fact we were at an auction in Fremont Oh where they were made. She's got everything from Action to Thorsen. She has a Japanese knockoff of an sk which I believe is the only aisin ratchet she has. I've learned alot with this collection due to the fact that I've repaired probably 90 percent of them.

That's alot of ratchets! At least she's not collecting shoes..

She's a keeper!

If you want her collection to be added to the existing 'Ratchets' thread, where it might get more eyes on it and generate more discussion with guys who only read GJ through alerts (updates to Watched threads), you can most easily find it using the A-Z Index of Threads in the Sticky at the top of the page.

But if you just want to let this one ride...

Nice Tootsie Roll at the bottom.

What brand are the star palm rats?

What is the ratchet in the 2nd row from the top, 3rd from the left?

What are the midget ratchets in the last row at the bottom, 1st and 2nd on the left?

^ looks like possibly an older G.M. (first from left)(or possibly the Japan-made knock-off of same) and an Oxwall (second from left.) :dunnp:

Curious as to what BRAND is stamped on the S-K 45170 knock-off? Does it have a brand on it?

(I'm still looking for a 2839 Indestro, btw.)

Actually that pic is roughly four years old, there have been many more added since then I would guess the number has probably doubled! I will have to go through them and take pics with a list of what is all there. She's got alot of oddball that I haven't seen elsewhere. I see it has difinitely sparked a bit of interest though so I will get after that and get it posted soon!

okay, but put 'em in the "ratchet" thread.... these oddball threads don't get a lot of play and get lost in the maelstrom here.

refer to the STICKY thread

Nice assortment. More photos would be fun to see. I lit the last one up a bit.
