Hello. bonneyman. I must have been thinking of these . The 2 at top are Indestro Select 6470, the one at the very top is missing the cover, my mistake. The one at bottom is a 3250 Indestro Super. All 3 are 1/2" drive. Regards, Lou

Yes Lou, those are the Indestro open gears I've seen. I think the terms "Select" and "Super" are indicative of different eras of manufacture.
How is the handle feel when you apply alot of force? Doesn't seem to ergonomic.

Lou, they are bullet proof tools. Low tooth count as compared to other designs, but they will eat nails as far as toughness is concerned.

I have some interesting ratchets like truth and some other ratchets but for some reason my good camera will not take a photo small enough to load onto this website. Thanks to everyone that has posted these photos, I have enjoyed them.

Take the photo...load it onto your computer (assumes you have one), use Irfanview or a similar free program to downsize it (I make mine around 250k) and then you can load it here.

Here's a sweet industrial finish 1/2" Proto that i picked up. Very cool design IMHO! It is sealed up by o'rings to keep it clean.. Stout, smooth, heavy duty that I won't be afraid to grab for those tough fasteners!  I think it is a pretty new and modern ratchet tho. Heres some pics I took....

Oh I forgot to mention, that Bonney A700 is a fine tooth ratchet. I counted 90 clicks! So probably 45 teeth with 2 single tooth pawls giving it 90 teeth.

This thread inspired me to pick up a Wright MN60 ratchet that was rusted solid.  Before and after Photos next week.

my only fear is that it would only take me a nanosecond to lose the spring or ball for one of those.   :grin:

Anyone know the maker for the 3/8" John Deere round head rats?
