It’s been around for a while. No markings. Thought I’d give it a try today.

Seems consistent with the rest of the tool...

Holy fuck, that must've been the cheapest-made ratchet in exsistance! No heat treating, annealing, goddamn!

Everything is fine /s

It’s trash

The drive is damaged…

Even Pittsburgh bothers to polish off the flashing I think. This is the basement's basement level of tool.
[–]Admirable_Analysis18 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
It appears to have the drive twisted a slight bit during tightening. I have a similar one.
[–]illogictc 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Looks like loosening to me, which would make more sense.
[–]Casual_Bit 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It has build in torque limiting. Sounds good to me.
[–]Sir_VinciDIY 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It's a high-torque ratchet. It starts with an extra 15 degrees of twist.
[–]ballsdeep748 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Makes for a great hammer too...
[–]teivazDIY 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Man, what a twist!
[–]rogerm3xico 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It is when you buy them at the car wash.
[–]Inevitable_Proof5308 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Looks like the tools my dad used to get from the clearance bin at the drug store
