“O” ratchet
« on: June 03, 2025, 07:58:44 AM »
I buy a lot of used tools to resell at flea market recently bought a couple 5 gallon buckets of what I thought were all craftsman sockets but mixed in were a lot of “O”style sockets but only 3 ratchets I either need more O ratchets or people looking for O style pass thru sockets I have enough to make many sets any help or advice appreciated.

What brands?  Brands that come to mid are O-Ratchet, Maxx Access,  Gearwrench Pass-Thru Drive, Crescent X-6.   
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

O Ratchet made pass thru ratchet sets in the US  at first at a plant on native American reservation.  That partnership fell thru and they moved production to Taiwan.  The tool sets are generally regarded to be well made, but noted to have smaller pass thru holes than other brands.   On that  big auction website the full sets tend to command a decent price.
