Specialty Ratchet

[clemet]

I have been looking around for a 1/4" drive ratchet similar to this one.

A friend of mine has one made by Snap-on, but doesn't remember what it is called. I really don't want to spend $75 on that one because it requires an adapter to use 1/4" sockets. Hopefully some one can point me in the right direction as to the name of the tool from Snap-on or a cheaper alternative.

It looks cool & like it could be useful. If your friend's is a Snap On, the part number will be on it.

Clemet,
There were quite a few 90 degree carburetor/distributor tools like that around in the 60's-70's.
Many had a 1/4"dr square like that one.
That Motion Pro is a modern copy of one.
Most tool brands of that era offered one.
The Snap On shown is not 90 degree.
Check ebay for "vintage carburetor tool" or similar, I'll bet you come up with one before too long.

That is the one I have, and it works well. I wish mine had a 1/4" hole in the back of the hand knob, but then I'd break it by using a socket wrench on it.
