I have the Stanley 7-85-782 which is a locking, extendable, flexhead that looks like it has the same internals as this (45-tooth, batwing paul, same quick-release mechanism). It's been really reliable and taken a huge beating, I've used it nearly 9-years now and it's still one of my favorite ratchets. Unfortunately it's been discontinued, but if it ever breaks it looks like I could get one of these cheaply and transplant the guts out of it. Would be nice if it had a higher tooth count, but a test on clientgraphics did have it failing at nearly 250 ft-lbs, so maybe that's helping it hold up.

Simple sturdy design! 😃👍

Nice to see a Vintage Snappy Ratchet still working and in really good shape As for the age of your FV71 ratchet its real hard to tell another Great video Mr Ratchetman Take care enjoy your day

pray tell, what's that punch make and model? 🤔

Good stuff! I have one of this type, they may be course but smooth as butter and zero back drag. 😎

Nice video.

I’d love to find some old ratchets like that!

Thanks, I kept trying to push the front button in to take it apart. Really slick quick release, I wish more had it, but it is technically not rebuildable which is a shame. I told my mom I needed a ratchet because people throw out tools when they move, and this is one of the options she came back with. Despite being old, I think the rachet itself is rather mediocre by modern standards, and poor by 80's standard. The biggest problem I have is the back drag is a killer, I always have to start or finish a bolt with a stubby because this will turn the bolt back instead of of ratchet doing its job. Unique piece though. It's a bigger issue for a 3/8 like mine.

I seen worse. And by that I mean ones with a frickin' plastic switch knob on the back. That is the epitome of cheap crud.

I love my identical one. I found it in my dad's tools after he died and had no idea what it was, but figured it out. I am missing a couple of bits. It comes in very handy when you just need something like a pilot hole in a handle.

Thats a "no-brainer" there! Nice teardown. I wish I'd seen this before I bought my Icons. I like my Flex-head Icons But now I've got to get some Die Hard ratchets now

Ya for $7 bucks you cant go wrong …even if it breaks it’s cheap enough

The head thickness is 4 times the thickness of the gear it would be awsome if they came out with one shaved down 50% in thickness just imagine what spaces that would fit into overall seems like a good little ratchet especially for 7 dollars

Well that’s interesting. Never seen a ratchet with three fasteners like that.

Seems pretty decent for only $7. Heck I'm amazed that they sell a ratchet that cheap on Amazon.

Seems a bit bulky for a 1/4" but looks better than one would think for a ratchet under 10 bucks. Was surprised to see that they even factory lubed it. Even many better brands don't do this these days.

Pro tip- Buy a stubby ratchet and a 3 foot piece of cheater pipe. 😃👍😂

Anpuds Tools never heard of that tool brand Did a little research and this Company is more into Digital Torque Wrenches and click type Torque Wrenches What i did fine in the word Anpuds has no meaning in a foreign language .. As for the ratchet for 7 dollars i would say that's a great buy and the fit and finish was fantastic and has a real backing plate Is it a pro type tool its real hard to say this company only been around since 2022 ... Great Video Mr Ratchetman

Can't go wrong with a genuine Anpuds.

Ok, not to be SNARKY or anything, but ramble much 😏?? Sorry, but when you just wanna know how to change the blade, 5.5 minutes is a loooooong time!! 🤭 The bottom that opens to change the blade wouldn't open, so i wasn't sure how to do it. . . .so thanks for that. (& personally, I'd recommend it - it's quite sharp & handy.)

What's the straight body diameter of the striking pin itself? I'm looking to use an automatic center punch like a transfer punch using a 5/32 pilot hole as a guide, and the only information out there is the useless 1/2 inch punch body diameter.

I use superlube in all fine tooth ratchet. Unless your putting a grease zirc and pumping it in your not going to have problems. NEVER had a ratchet slip with superlube if you do its time for a rebuild kit

There's a Kraeuter ratchet with the exact same handle but the font is actually nice, someone on Garage Journal has a picture of the JC Penny and Kraeuter side by side.......Seems SK made ratchets for a lot of companies over the years......3530 is the JC Penny 1/4" ratchet.

My first repair on my first car was a new muffler on a 71 VW in 78. I grew up watching my dad repair all of our cars but otherwise I was a total novice and struggled horribly. Someone took pity on me and bought me a new, Penney's 3/8 drive, metric ratchet set in a blow molded case. Life saver. I still have the set. It is mostly semi-retired because I started to acquire Craftsman. That set still comes in handy from time to time out in the shed. When you put your example back together and spun it the sound was SO familiar.🤪

SK

I had a JC Penny SAE combination wrench set with roll pouch. Made in USA. I sold them. Quality was poor.

I purchased J.C. Penney tools back in the day. I still have my J.C. Penney Locking Pliers. They use to have a pretty good tool selection in their stores. It was similar to Sears back then. Then they stopped selling tools in the early 80's. They sold the car repair business to Firestone and they even stopped selling appliances.

The long and forgotten JCPenny Tools As for the fit and finish not too bad for a budget brand tools like the Sears Craftsman Brand The best part JC Penny . Craftsman . Montgomery Ward all there tools were budget brand tools not really meant to last Surprise they did It was like the Timex Watches they were also a budget brand Watch ... Geat video Mr Ratchetman take care enjoy your day

Like me some SK ratchets, but JC Penny sure contracted these to be fugly as fugg. The only ratchet I like with a squareish handle is the Craftsman RHFT. Everything else is terrible. Love the handles on the easco original version too.

Another great video. Thanks.

anyone know where i can still get these. there not in stock online or in store.?? thanks

Much appreciated as I just picked a set of these up and wanted a run down before I launched something across my garage ✊🏾

they look really neat good value cheers.

Another weird thing about these is you can drop Matco 88 gears and pawls in all three of these ratchets. I have the 1/2 and 1/4 Quinn as well as the same drive size in matco 88’s and they both swapped and worked fine. I need to get a pick and try and count the teeth on the gears to compare but visually they look identical. The exterior of the pawls are the same, but the Quinn has teeth all the way across but the Matco’s don’t have teeth in the middle of the pawl. I also need to see which of the two designs have more teeth engaged under load. I hope they expand on this ratchet line. Great video as always brother! Thanks for taking the time to put these up

Unfortunately mine came out of the package non functional. Good thing they have a good return policy

Ok. So mine is a ca 1949 version, that belonged to my father, an aircraft mechanic at Boeing when the ratchet was new. It doesn’t have a ring, and the pall is exactly what I have to replace. So the video just doesn’t help much.

Damn $350 for a pair of pliers

Great video thanks

Cool ratchet man!

Hey there, another great video as always. Appreciate you sharing. You have to have an exhaustive collection of ratchets. I enjoy seeing the vintage ones. Take care and hope you have a good week.

I just found one of these thrifting around Citrus Height CA. It has the original adapter.

Good video. TY.

Urrea was involved with PROTOMEX.

What a night and day difference in the fit and finish between the Canada Proto Challenger to the US Proto the only real good feature was it had the beefy backing plate with real Screws ..As for the Urrea brand Tools never heard of the brand or never seen Urrea tools first time on a video .. Very good video Mr Ratchetman take care enjoy your Sunday

Canada! 😃👍🇨🇦

I heard the Urrea plant in Mexico was an old Proto factory and when Stanley bought out Proto they stopped production in Mexico. They sold all the machines, tooling and patterns were sold and the tools are now known as Urrea.

Seems like they've made Proto all over some of the newer ones are even made in Italy but I don't think they've made them in Asia yet I found something interesting a couple days ago that in the mid to late 70's and possibly the mid 80's indestro had tool kits made in Japan under the expert brand something I was completely unaware of maybe it was indestros last ditch effort to hang on before becoming defunct I don't know would be interesting if someone knew why they had them made over seas indestro could have sold the company to the Asian market just like sk and the name would have lived on but I'm glad they didn't along with alot of other great brands at least their names won't get tarnished just sad that these great tool companies are no longer that's why I appreciate your videos you cover alot of great vintage brands and keep the history alive thanks for sharing my friend take care

When I was in the Structural Steel Business a fair amount of steel came out of Canada but I don't think I have many Canadian tools.

What brand is that spark plug socket?

We have the same punches
