Thanks Jeff you just don't find indestro ratchets at yard sales and these ratchets can be kinds hard to find on ebay once in a blue moon they pop up that's how I got this one just had to be patient thanks for watching my friend
Thanks for Watching my friend he was awesome for sure wish I had all the tools he gave Me alot of Williams billings indestro sk craftsman fleet new Britain Fairmount just good USA made tools so when I see something my grandfather used to have I grab just for the memories of what I can remember
I do too my friend when I had that same ratchet in use from my grandfather it was my baby along with the Williams s53 thanks for watching my friend I appreciate it
I bought a new Snap-On 3/8" drive swivel head ratchet in '88, that thing broke every other time I used it for normal tasks. After the third time in less than a month it was the Snap-On dealer who suggested I buy SK ratchets and then gave me crap about the warrantee. All of a sudden the supply of rebuild kits evaporated, backordered indefinitely. That crap ended quickly when a lawyer got involved and corporate found out, I ended my association with Snap-On over that and bought SK ratchets as had been suggested, and continued to use my old Easco as well. I never broke any of my Easco ratchets, and only wore out the pivots on my SK swivel head ratchets. These round head ratchets may not do well in tight quarters, but they hold up very well over the long term. I still pick them up at estate sales. That Snap-On ratchet was replaced with a new one, and I tossed it into a closet where it remains to this day. Indestro made good tools, and like the name implied they could stand up to commercial use.
That's one cool looking ratchet Don!! You have a good eye for vintage tools!!!!

You can't go wrong with sk for sure and indestro is right behind them I love these old gems thanks for watching my friend
Those were actually pretty strong ratchets great video
Thanks my friend they are tanks for sure
Wright still makes open head ratchets, they even have a dual sided one with 3/8 and 1/4 inch drive (# 3482)
Wright I believe is the only one that does damn good tool company and its still USA thanks for watching my friend
