Yes, but they are extremely rare as they were only available on special order, Alloy Artifacts don't even have a picture of one. It appears to be missing the other item in the set, the handle extension. If for display purposes you can make a fairly accurate reproduction by polishing a piece of schedule 40 1.5" galvanised pipe about 3' long and stamping "Husky" on it before clear coating it.  :lol_hitting:

I always amazes me how the handle on some ratchets bend before the gear assembly strips. that right there is a great candidate for a flex or stubby ratchet mod.   :great:
