Recently purchased a Walden-Worcester tool set #6. This is the ratchet that was in it but the square opening is too small to fit the pressed steel sockets. Does anyone recognize this ratchet and have any info on it? I have only seen one other picture of this exact wrench and it was on this forum and the owner said it was in his Walden set #6 when he got it. Thanks for your help.

The Walden No. 6 set originally came with Walden's "wire" ratchet.

I do not recognize the ratchet in your set.

Looks a bit like a car jack ratchet. Here a no. 6 set.

I’ve seen a number of that same ratchet wrench over the years and while I don’t have one, I do agree with OTG, looks like it could be jack related. Definitely not from Walden.
