Who makes this air ratchet?

[Handyandy23]

Anyone know if this is a "twin" to any other reactionless / impact air ratchets of other brands?

Aluminum body, 75 ft lbs, 450 RPM, about 11" long. Made in Taiwan. Sold in Canada at Princess Auto under the Pro.Point name, but I'm guessing it's a rebrand of someone else's like Kuani. Just curious if anyone recognizes it to know how "reputable" it is.

Looks like an ACDelco rebrand.

Pro-Point stuff is sold by Princess Auto. The products are great and the warranty is A-OK.

I would be interested in who makes this as well. It is sold under a dozen privet labels. It comes from China, but is actually a pretty nice tool. Mine was imparted by MAT Industries and is badged as a Sanborn, but who knows where they get it from. It is my favorite ratchet for heavier work. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of it. My only complaint is that it is a bit heavier than regular 3/8 ratchets because it has a pin clutch impact mechanism rather than planetary gears like standard ratchets. That said, not having your knuckles getting crunched in tight spaces is worth the extra weight. Super nice.

MAT industries probably imports it for Princess Auto as well. Their subsidiary Sanborn MFG makes the larger ProPoint air compressors for them, so it would make sense that these are supplied by them as well. But who knows.

This particular one I checked in store, and it says made in Taiwan. Their bargain line ones were made in China.

Maybe there are a couple different factories tooled up to make the same product, or perhaps production was moved from main land China off shore to Taiwan sometime in the last few years. Mine is older, but identical to the one in the picture.

See attached image. Appears identical save for the branding on the overmold.
