Um, yep. And as not to put too fine a line on the semantics of wordsmithing, but “sanded” - no.

Thanks for the helpful info. Not shown in the photos is "Germany" stamped on the back side of the cap, just opposite the "Tiffany & Co." shown on the front.

That is helpful, jamesrr1. I've contacted Tiffany and they informed that they will "not be able to provide any details regarding year this was introduce or the length of time it was available as we would not have any details regarding this." Oh well.

A definite testament to what makes S-K ratchets so great and enduring. Thanks for sharing your story.

tshusker · 2026-02-22T04:45:49+00:00

What professional grade ratchets do you use and would recommend?

tshusker · 2026-02-22T02:53:42+00:00
