Maker of this Goodwrench 3/8" Rat?

[dimwittedmoose51]

This was in the Craftsman tool box from the Wednesday auction.  the part number is 32602 and with no stamp that says US, I assumed it was an overseas rat.  NOw, that I've taken it apart to clean and oil the drive mechanism, it's a single pawl design just like my  NB/Blackhawk/MAC rats are, so now I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.  It has a very weet feel to it regardless.

TIA

The selector looks N.B., but maybe it's a Stanley clone?

Thanks Bonneyman.  Finding info on this brand of tools is impossible.  I'm inclined to think that the late GM Goodwrench stuff that was made in Asia said so on the handle.  Regardless, it'll go in the worker drawer, as eventually It will get used for some strange applicaitn.

My 'bent handle' Sk ratchet is becomming my goto ratchet these days, there are few places you can't get into with a pivoting head and an offset handle...

Well Rusty, wanna trade the SK kfor this pup straight up???.....didn't think so.....This one will replace a cheapo Stanley I have in the drawer that has adjustable offset...or it will go when I find one of those J9 A Herbrands or the C-man equivailant center pivot rat......yeah, I'm dreaming.

Nope.


hehe

Think how long since SK was kaking them, and how old mine is, and it works like a clock :))

But keep that one in a drawer, a poor ratchet is better than no ratchet at all...

(...something about a man with no shoes?...)
