vintage from the early 50's came in the mail.It was the first ratchet in my professional career.from 1952 to up to two years ago it was the only 1/2 drive ratchet i owned and it just came back from an overhaul from the BONNEYMAN.I have been around a little but never even heard of so many different craftsman in a small group as ours. It seems that each member ( but me ) has a gift and all different. three cheers for tool talk rah rah rah bob w.
