I've seen them around but never paid attention to them. No markings but the cushion handles are worn and probably had a name on them at one time.
China? Taiwan? They're fine toothed and are smooth as can be.

I don't know, but those pictures reminded me to never get cushion handles on anything, ever.

I have one of those small ratchets, I picked it up from a tool vendor at a swap meet. I've also seen them with multiple name brands on them.

It was a cheap buy, but I have to admit I use it more often than any other ratchet. It's handy, doesn't take up much space in my tool bag, and it works.

I just went and looked at my ratchet. The lettering is worn off the rubber handle, and there are no markings on the metal parts, so I can't say with certainty where it was made but I'm pretty sure I remember it being Taiwan.

I have the little 3/8-1/4 one with yellow on the handle that says Titan on it. Had the thing for over a decade now. Probably my most used ratchet. I must have ten snapon ratchets of various sizes and styles but the little Titan is always in my hand.

Those look like performance tool ones. Bought a couple years ago when Murray's became Oriellys off the clearance rack for 25-50 cents. Used them as loaners/ give a ways. Think I have one or two left in the shed.

The stubby 3/8+1/4 ratchet has been sold under countless names and most of them look very similar with the color of the handle being the main difference. They're made in China and Taiwan.
Ive got a yellow and black handled one. It can be useful at times and is rather smooth.

I believe Performance Tool made some exactly like those. Performance Tool was a cheapy brand found on the counter at most auto parts stores.
