90 degree bent long handle ratchet
« on: December 23, 2019, 05:03:28 PM »
Bought at a flea market.  Thought it was interesting.  Seller didn't have a clue what it was for, but I knew because I had seen one before that I didn't buy.  I told him someone bent the ratchet and he should sell it for a discount.  Paid $10.

1/2" drive and 18" long.

No knurling on the handle either Wich tells you it's either supposed to roll in your hand during use or had a rubber grip on it that was removed.

The funny thing is that Ridgid still shows the RHFT on their site (Where I got the pic from) I'm thinking the RHFT hasn't been made in a while. If you search the pn 92202, you will see the RHFT and also what looks like an Apex pear head ratchet with the same bent handle. I think if you went and bought a 915 new today, it would have the pear head with it.

That is a nice ratchet. I can see it being useful in some situations.

Map gas, anvil, and sledge hammer to straighten it out.  I did tell the seller after all it was bent.
