The 2875 arrived and it's in excellent condition mostly.
The only issue which I suspect is responsible for it's nice condition is the fact that it seems to have been a lemon that left the factory without a spring for the ball detent in the anvil.
Thankfully a tool distributor on Ebay has the rebuild kits, both the black oxide finish like this one and the chrome.
Sadly it cost me $33 which is more than the ratchet cost, but $28+$33 makes this a $71 ratchet and I'm okay with that.
If indestro was around today making these with the same excellent quality and F&F standards they'd probably cost about that much.
This will be my most expensive 1/4dr ratchet so far, but it's a damn nice 1/4dr ratchet.
