Age of Walden Worchester ratchet
« on: December 11, 2020, 03:23:28 PM »
1/2" ratchet that I found today at a pawn shop. Anybody have an age for it?

AA says it's 22 teeth - haven't taken it apart for cleaning but it does ratchet in both directions.

They are shown in the ‘48 catalog. I have one in black oxide as well so they likely went back to WW2. I now own the example from AA.

Thanks, Don. Mine has a bent handle - someone must have put a cheater bar on it. Was able to straighten in and tear it down to the bare handle. Think I'll clean and repair the worn parts and make it a user.
