"Sidewinder Ratchet" ??

[CoogarXR]

I think I still have my sidewinder. I bought it in the early 90s I believe. I think I bought it for starting spark plugs in tight spots. It would be cooler if the head was smaller and it had more teeth or gear reduction or something. It's just too clunky. I haven't used it in decades.

I have one of the Stanley rotators, and it worked well for places where there was absolutely no ratcheting room due to surrounding structural pieces. One downside is that it limits how much you can torque the bolt or nut, unless you have Popeye forearms.

Popeye forearms won't do you any good- the T-handle mechanism won't handle any torque to speak of. Owned one in 1995 for less than a day...

I have an old Sidewinder but the ratchet mechanism broke. I saw many post about member having one and not using it. I used it all the time but can find any parts. Is any member willing to sell their Sidewinder that is just sitting around? I know I can buy one on ebay but don't want to pay what they are asking. Of if you have the head mechanism ( several gears) as parts I would be happy to purchase that. I will try to upload a picture # 1 is what I need but #2 will be a complete rebuild

Thanks

What do you think a reasonable price is?

My dad has one of these. I think I got it for him for Christmas once. I don’t think it was ever used.

How about $25 including shipping
