Who Makes This Matco Ratchet

[mrbillh]

Looking for the manufacturer of MATCO's 17mm 11" flex ratcheting wrench for dual drive sockets. Nothing I've seen online matches the wrench.
Thank you, mrbill

Astro, it's just a reversible version of their Nano Ratchets for nano sockets

Yep Matco exclusive made by Astro.

There are a few posts about adding the Matco head to the Astro in the new tools thread a few pages back. But yeah, it's an exclusive to Matco and not identical to the Astro.

Fisher Tools, the parent company of ASTRO, very likely does more business private labeling to Matco and others than it does under it's own ASTRO brand. Normally, these contracts stipulate a time period during which ASTRO can't sell these tools under the ASTRO brand for obvious reasons. One recent example of this is the Turbo-Step drill bits which were, for a period of time, only allowed to be sold by Matco. Once that agreement ran it's course ASTRO could then sell these under the ASTRO brand as it currently does. I'm certain there are many other examples but this is the one I know about so I'll keep it at that.

I’ve heard there’s a matco reversible 22mm ratchet for 1/2” sockets. Anyone know where to find one or a part number?

I don't see one yet. It'd be an rwfr22m2** (**= length in inches) if it was out.

They have a new rwfr11m210 which is an 11mm drive one. And the 2 17mm ones, rwfr17m210 / rwfr17m218.

Does the 17mm Matco replacement head fit an Astro handle?
