I have a spare 1/4"er paint brush handle.  :great:   
It's yours if you want it.
Definitely,  just let me know what you need for it.

No problem. Goodfellow asked if I could do anything to help you, and he's good people, so, it's a gift.

Plus I need to learn to let go of things. :lol_hitting:

Just PM me your address - I just tossed the mailer you sent me last week. :banghead:

The Thorsen 77m is such an underrated little ratchet.

I kind of have a list going of 1/4 ratchets to acquire.
Right now the only ones on my " list " that I know by model number are the Indestro 2875  and S-K 40975, not much of a list I suppose.

The rest I know by brand and what they look like, but I've gotta work on getting them all identified by model number so I can officially write out a list to check off.

I just checked the S•K 40975 TUFF-1 off my list.

An Ebay seller has a bunch of them NOS available for $35, so I snatched one up before they're gone.

The little titan micro roto head uses the same heart soring mechanism found on the S-K / Facom Tuff series like the 40975 I just checked off my list.

I don't remember exactly why and I haven't used mine much,  but at some point I cut it down to I guess make a little finger ratchet out of it.

I'm working on a list right now and have 20 on it so far, a couple I'm not sure I'll ever get like the Blackhawk 24991 because I am collecting 1/4 ratchets but not seriously enough to pay more than say $60 max for any one of them ( I only go up to $60 to account for anything brand new ).

It's just one of those things where my heart is in it but my brain isn't in it enough to let me pull my wallet out past a certain point  :)

There are things I want, but not bad enough.

Does anybody know the part / model number for the 1/4 sliding T handle WRIGHT used to make ?
They don't make one anymore and I would like to replace the Craftsman in my set with a WRIGHT.

Yeah that handle is too skinny and smooth for me. I'd have to Plasti-dip the whole ratchet then cut away the working portions front and back just to be able to hold it.

I was cleaning and rearranging my shop over the weekend and came across some old tool catalogs (2000-2009). I think there was a Wright book in there. I'll check it out when I get a chance and see if I can find that cross bar # for you.

Thanks, that'll be great.

This is a tool I really quite like.


I'm not aware of a compact 1/4dr speeder ever existing though,  so I had to make it myself.

It was pretty cheap to make too.
Just a HF long extension,  and a cheap drill bit stop from HF.
if I had a bearing to just press on it would probably be better, this one I ground in a groove for the grub screw to sit in then staked it so the screw wouldn't back out.
