Large Ratchets - Show them off

[Lookin4_67GalaxieConv]

Thank you.  Yes, the Cornwell handle is removable.  I got that one for $50 off CL a few years ago.  I couldn't pass that up.  Also got a brand new Wright 1" drive socket set for $75 a few years back as well.

50!  That was a great deal. The Wright set is almost obscene.

Well done!

$75 for a 1" wright set is still suckage a few years later

Sure is.  I think the guy had just bought a truck and the previous owner had left them in it.

Here is my Snap on L78 1-1/2" dr ratchet head, no handle. Had to make a custom handle out of a hydraulic cylinder rod with a 1-3/8" O.D.

That must be pretty heavy. How long is the handle?

I think I made it 48" long. I will have to look.

My one and only (and lonely) 3/4" ratchet:

My one and only (and lonely) 3/4" ratchet:

My very first 3/4" ratchet was a Craftsman.  It's a very high quality piece.

most of my newer 3/4 sockets are Crafty. Whenever a socket was needed, sears would be the first stop to acquire one. 9 times out of 10 they would have it.

Just never could find the scratch to buy the ratchet.

[J.A.F.E.]

For many years I just a SK sliding T for 3/4 I didn't even have a ratchet.

Funny you say that Slip - I can't recall ever seeing a Sears without at least one although I haven't been in one for a while now.

my last visit to Sears they still had a pretty good assortment of 3/4 stuff. IIRC the ratchet and several extensions, breaker bar were all still there. Waiting. patiently. for me to buy them.

You are so right, this one is from back when Craftsmen actually meant quality too!

I once had a pretty good mixed brand set of 3/4" - including a backup Proto ratchet and several extensions - but I never had a use for them that my 1/2" Snappy's (up to 1 1/2") couldn't handle with a lot less heft and occupied storage space, so off they went.  Just couldn't bring myself to part with the Crafty and an extension or two, a few adapters, and maybe a socket or 2.

Forgot I had this one tucked away

Never seen one in the wild. Neat ratchet.
