Title: latest Habitat Restore find.
Post by: EVILDR235 on February 22, 2017, 12:36:51 PM

Well I stopped at the Habitat Restore and found only one item. A  L.S. Starrett #443 ratchet in 5/8 female drive. It is 11 inches long. It has a 1916 patent date. It works ok, but it's showing it's age. The handle unscrews and the little plunger at the end moves in and out. I will post some pictures later this evening. I did find one stamped steel socket out in the garage that fits it that's from a Mossberg ratchet.

I never knew Starrett made ratchets.  Something new to lust for, I guess.

I never knew they made ratchets either. I saw several others in the internet today. I have some of their measuring tools i use for what they are.
