What is this? Snap-on ratchet?

Post by crushpinion »

OK, I'm new here so please bear with me. I saw my first Snap-On tool in 1965, I was 12, we had gas stations back then and there were actually mechanics there too. I watched and learned and still have some of those tools from back then.

Today I bought some Snap-On Boxes from '55 or so and I found this inside one of the boxes. It resembles an early Snap-On ratchet and I figured I'd put it up here and see If anyone recognizes it.

I'm sorry to say it is not a Snap on, it is S·K (Sherman Klove) from the early 30's.

I have one like it
