Snap On long knurled handle ratchet

[3baygarage]

Found this oddball on the ebay.

3/8 drive 16-1/2" long.

It's a special made. The date code looks like 1949. Very hard to tell the difference between 49,56,59 with the stamp this small.

It has the oil hole on top.

Next to an Fll80 and a Ferret from 1941.

An inch shorter than the modern long handle.

That's cool, the original long handle 3/8, before they were cool!

Yeah the original. I wonder why it took 60+ years for such a long 3/8 ratchet to hit the market. Still waiting on the knurled handle . I have some old ones in the CAT brand.

It is a special. I think 49 would be right. Never seen one.

That is super cool. Side by side it makes the modern ratchet head look like a ridiculous chrome lolly pop.

I would clean that up and start using it tomorrow.

Very interesting I too have never seen one in the wild, makes me wonder how many were ever produced 67 years ago?
