I have not seen one of their ratchets, but I do come across O.W. wrenches every once in a while. I'll keep my eyes open.

I have a beautiful Owatonna female 3/8 drive female drive ratchet. It's an Owatonna ratchet but probably not the vintage you had in mind. If you want to see it, let me know and I'll post it up. It's in especially like new condition. Wanna see it?

Now stop that! You can not tell us you have a rarely seen unusual ratchet in like new condition, and then torment us by not showing us a picture. It says so in the rules....somewhere...I'm almost certain...

Proto made some ratchets for the Owatonna Tool Company. I know where there is a 3/8 OTC ratchet and sockets for sale. Kinda spendy tho.

was hoping for a reversible male ratchet. I missed a reversible 1/2 drive for a 1 dollar at a flea market awhile back, it looked unique. Are you guys sure proto made ratchets for otc? Where do you get your information?

The one i know thats for sale is made by Proto and is based on the 5249 pear head 3/8 ratchet. The price was  around $50.00 and it came with some OTC sockets. I need to find the site again because i took it off my mail list.

The OTC / Proto 3/8 ratchet was for sale on a site called OLD TOOL MAN. I no longer see it for sale there. I just could not see paying $50.00 for it. I hope to find another.

the otc ratchet that I missed was not based off of proto, it looked unique which made me want it more.
