Title: Found a Tootsie roll ratchet
Post by: bonneyman on December 02, 2019, 04:04:29 PM

Powrkraft 3/8". Frozen up pretty good, took some serious scrubbing with acetone to get the solid black gunk out of it. But it works fine now.
Single see-saw pawl design, quite similar to the S-K roundheads. But overall I think this Wright clone is shorter and more compact.

Sweet ratchets that get no love by most techs

That's because too many of the techs have no idea who Wright is.

That said, I had one of the 3/8's in a 1/4 body Wright ratchets, and I hated it. Sold that off quick. Glad you like this one George.

Great find, I love WRIGHT tools.
I don't have many right now and can't afford much of their stuff new, but the little 2426 1/4" ratchet I could and absolutely love it.
