What ratchet is this?

Anyone tell me what brand of ratchet this is? Sorry about the crappy pics

It looks a lot like the Sears Companion line or a Harbor Freight one. Usually they are stamped right into the metal handle.

Nop only thing it says on the handle is chrome v

looks as though it might be a wright

looks alot like an old rh armstrong, but those all had stampings iirc... c/b a knockoff of the common rh craftsman/armstrong/wright/etc... of yesteryore

It looks like a Great Neck (Cooper Tools) or a GN clone.

Looks to be a Stanley-produced Taiwan ratchet to me - from the same family as the Craftsman tri-wings...

Is that a built-in finger speeder on the top?

 

[wooten1027]

yes it does have a build in finger speeder ... i didn't know what brand it was but i got it today for $1 and a master craft 3/8 for $1

This is exactly what I thought as well. It looks identical to my Taiwan made Stanley works Craftsman ratchets.

You're in Canada, I presume?

Stanley made those things under many names - both for their own brands and for "house"' brands. Yours probably came in some off-brand set...

Nope i'm in kentucky

Odd that a Mastercraft made it down there!

There used to be a US company called MasterCraft, but they were forced to change their name a few years back; wonder if it's one of their tools?

 

[wooten1027]

hmm iono i'll take a pic of it when i get to the house and see what ya think

Anybody know how to get this ratchet apart though?

 

[SCscoutguy]

It looks allot like the Benchtop brand ratchets I have. I posted some pictures of them in this post.

Agreed. Looks like the Stanley in my road/junkyard box.

It looks like this one, out of a cheap Chinese tool set.
