The mechanism on this ratchet is poor. I cant even seem to get into it to have a look.
I pulled it out of a skip some years back, with a bunch of sockets dated from around the 1940s.
The date stamp on this one is below -
Its always hard to tell with these, but i think thats most likly 1942. Looks a bit more curved than the 50s one, but i cant really be sure. I recall the other parts it was found with were 40s parts so that would make sense, i guess.
Anyway, aside from dates, any ideas how i get into the insides? Ive tried taking the screws out, and even screwing them into the other side and giving it a bit of a tug, and it all seems solid.
Thank you.
