User Craftsman USA ratchets?
« on: May 29, 2019, 04:12:35 PM »
Picked these up at a yard sale and the codes seem strange.  The 3/8" drive is T3V 44811 and the 1/2" is K7V 44809.  Maybe this is a question for Lauver, but when were they made and by who?

I don't have lauvers code chart handy, but those weird three digit "letter-number-letter" codes look Chinese to me.

That is what I thought, but they clearly say USA on the handles.

Gang,

These ratchets were manufactured by Danaher in the USA:

T3W ~ 2008

K7V ~ 2010

Not their best ratchets by a long shot, but USA made and filled a price point for SEARS.
