Comparing Some Old USA Made 1/2" Drive Ratchets

Just thought this would be a worthy video just seeing the variety of ratchets you could get in the old days.

Sir pleas can you do a toolbox tour your collection is awesome

[@michaellindsay8934]

Great history lesson thank you Catus

[@CatusMaximus]

My pleasure!

[@markadams7597]

Wow! And I thought my collection was full-framed! Way to be, dude. Love that Mustang! And thanks for sharing.

That Fleet ratchet is identical to a Penens I have, which are both allied with Plomb/Proto.

Dayton was Grainger’s house brand I believe. They were made by Thorsen. The Thorsen ratchets, even though they were copying the S-K mechanism, we’re actually much stronger because the pawl on those is twice as thick as the S-K

[@b.abrackus6403]

I also have several Penncraft 4100 quick release ratchets, l love them

[@michaelmiller9483]

I continue to demand more Tiny!!!

[@moseshancock3336]

Funny you mentioned western auto and advance. The one we used to have has a advance in it now

[@danh2134]

Pepboys by me has turned into advance auto but the service garage has not , I don't know if they merged or one decided to stop selling parts

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

Our Western Auto turned into an Advance too.

May the Ratchet of Truth be attached to the Extension Bar of Judgment and the Socket of Wisdom.

My father owned a garage for over 60 years. He used Snap-On for the most part but there were always a few odd tools around here and there. I never liked the round head ratchets, mostly they seemed to me to be pretty cheaply made. My old USA Craftsman were crude compared to the SnapOn but I thought they were better than the round head models. You have a lot of tools that I've never seen before.

Artisan was a Gambles house brand.

[@aaronbane969]

On the Penens ratchet. You really have to dial it in. Lol

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

Mustang used to be a NAPA store brand.

[@paulwatson8809]

Catus, you promised us that you'd keep your channel clean. I definitely heard Tiny swear at you. I thought this was a family-friendly channel!

[@TylerSnyder305]

Gambles Artisan, that's a rebrand of a pretty early first generation SK.

[@CrazyCragg]
