The SK Tools Round Head Ratchet: A Vintage American Classic eBay Bargain

Just a quick look at the classic round head ratchet originally patented in 1934 by inventor Theodore Rueb for Sherman Klove and sold under the SK Tools branding. This classic American design has been around nearly unchanged for decades and has withstood the test of time. Certainly there are more modern ratchets that offer a lot of advantages, but these old workhorses just keep on going for decades. While not the fanciest things, often these vintage tools allow access to really high levels of Made in USA quality at bargain prices and of course you can’t have too many quality tools to choose from.
