"frankenstein" ratchets wanted
« on: June 10, 2011, 07:26:40 PM »
Looking to buy or trade any size of a "frankenstein" ratchet wrench.
I don't have any, and would like some for my collection, and take apart lube, and understand the mechanism.
Contact me here,,,and thanks,,,

Is it made up of the body parts of other ratchets?

I thought so, just wanted to make sure. My favorite vehicles to own and drive are Frankenstein’s...

Chuck means the ratchets with the plug on the side that looks like the bolts in Frankenstein's neck, like this one-

Sorry for the confusion.
Maybe I should say "a ratchet that switches direction with a horizontal push-thru button, instead of a lever.
Quite a few tool companies made them.

I picked up my first frankenstein ratchet a few weeks ago, it's a SK 1/2" drive.

Here's the only one I've ever seen in person. I sold it some time ago.
