1. I occasionally see a WF-38 1/2" Proto ratchet for sale. Is it actually a post-Plomb tool? Was it manufactured for the government after Plomb became Proto?
2. We know there are two different Plomb pebble 5449 ratchets: the Mfd USA and the Made in USA. Many other pebble tools are found in the two styles, as well.
There are also two different Proto pebble line wrenches, the Mfd USA type and the Made in USA type. But are there two different Proto pebble 5449 ratchets, as well?
I have a Proto pebble Mfd USA type. Do any of you have the Proto Pebble Made in USA type?
BTW, I have read that the two types of Plomb pebbles are based on production dates. How does that jibe with there being two different Proto pebble line wrenches--and possibly? two different Proto Pebble 5449's since they were produced post Plomb?
