What ratchet have I found???

[killer cougar]

I found this ratchet years ago while on a walk but never could figure out what kind of was. But I know someone here is going to know exactly what it is. What I do know is it's 3/8" with a ton of teeth and 1000x better than the Craftsman it sits next to in the drawer.

I don’t know what it was branded based on the color. I think you’ll find it under many different brands though. Probably made in Taiwan. Look up Titan or Ampro offset ratchet.

Looks like rebranded Tekton > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A50NAGQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Ampro is a very good possibility. There is some red in the handle.

And from a quick count it appears to have 72 teeth.

This is a generic ratchet that is rebranded by a lot of companies. I have a Titan that is the same design

Northern Tool replaced the Titan brand with Klutch... and sells the same ratchet

While VERY similar to Tekton and Kobalt these aren't identical. Those brands don't have the press pin on the bottom. The press pin makes it hard to service the thing. Other than the annoying reversed selector they are smooth, nice to use ratchets.

Damn good ratchet to have.72 tooth Taiwan actions are some of the best ever made.

That's what I was going to say.

As everyone stated, it's a generic but good quality ratchet that is rebranded by dozens of companies. I see them everywhere in Germany as DIY socket sets and I have a few of them that I use occasionally. I think they are shipped worldwide. I agree that they are superior to the RP Craftsmans.
