    Description

    New Western Forge 5878 1/2"-drive reversible ratchet, made in USA
    by Wright Tool and Forge Company
    . Spins perfectly in both directions.
    Rare Western Forge branding. Most Western Forge tools were made for Craftsman (marked WF on Craftsman tools), but this is rare old surplus from when they experimented with selling tools under their own name (around 1978). Wright Tool actually made these ratchets for Western Forge during this time period, while Western Forge released a few of their own tools under their own name as well (such as pliers and adjustable wrenches - see my other auctions). Sears/Craftsman got upset and all Western Forge branded tools were quickly discontinued.
    Nice vintage ratchet made in the USA, and a cool rare piece of tool history.
