CHROME ALLOY 4070 1/2" RATCHET FIND
« on: September 03, 2018, 05:43:07 PM »
I picked up this Chrome Alloy No. 4070 1/2" ratchet over the weekend. I looked it up on AA and found that it was made by SK Tools. However , the pic they show is a bit different than this one. The selector lever , rivet's and handle are different. But , you can tell it's the same ratchet.  The last pic is from AA. What do you guys think ??

I would say that is a homemade lever to replace a missing or broken one. I have several Plomb ratchets that have homemade replacement levers. It's nice somebody took the time to fix it and not toss it in the scrap pile.

rivets are horizontal on one, vertical on the other

similar, but not exact

With those markings I would say S-K made for their Brazil Tool line.

If it is a home made selector knob they did a nice job and made it look slick.   :smiley:
