the ratchet triple play - show us you 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 matched set v. 2.0

[Cruiser808]

Over the years, I've picked up or have been given several broken Plomb ratchets. Fortunately, Proto ratchet kits are readily available, allowing me to put these old timers back in action. These are users and work very well.

This 3/4 Plomb ratchet was a freebee. The pawls and gear were trashed, but a new Proto kit took care of that. So i added it to the pebble Plomb triple play.

[Cruiser808]

Yay! Thank you for bringing this back.

Sorry I snuck in a 3/4 in these Blackhawk Baldies.

Those are incredible, Steve. How long did it take you to collect those beauties?

[J.A.F.E.]

Thanks Cruiser. Some of my favorites I must say. Took a long time they came in one at a time probably about 10 years. Good thing I wasn't in a hurry.

This is as close as I've got.
PROTO professional 1/2 and 3/8 flex heads with a 1/4 adapter for the 3/8.


They came from my dad who says they came together when he bought them, but nothing is certain.

Snap-on ratchet adapters.

Some Plomb WF goodness. The extra ratchet is 9/32. Did this style show up in 3/4 drive?

[J.A.F.E.]

Some Plomb pebbles.

Snap-on flat military.

Wow - that is a sweet set, Steve!   

I'll bet expensive as all get out, too.

[J.A.F.E.]

Thanks! They could be expensive but I have been frugal in getting them. They were all bought used and the most expensive one was the 3/4 which I managed to get for (IIRC) for about 35.

I use the 1/4 a fair amount and used to use the 1/2 a lot until I got the longer ratchets.

I still have some beam torque wrenches and they do get used on those.

Those Armstrong RHFTs are beauties!!!  Got two, need the 1/4".  The Snappy flex and long handles are great too.  Glad to see this thread resurrected!

I'll add some crappy cellphone picks of a few of mine:

Bonny 701, Filson, and Husky -41

[PowderKeg]

And a few Kilness patent round heads:

Blackhawk, Giller, and Thorsen

[PowderKeg]

Husky -43 & -45, Mustang -43, and Sparta -43

Wow very impressive collection. You have some great stuff.
