Oh,yes, very nice....

But...

What he has started...now you need a set of 5/8 drive sockets to go with it..

And extensions...

And a breaker bar....

And a Speeder....

And a box to put it all in...

Woe...the journey begins with a single step...

And later to convert all the components to the same '27 date code........


I have a quest of my own going that direction.   Its not easy at all.

The only bad tool is the one that couldn't finish the job.  Ironicly it may be the best tool for the next job.

Very nice ratchet! I have always wondered that the early Snap-on and the Blackhawk ratchets look almost identical. Was there a connection between the two?
