    I own this tool, and used to see them around second hand around 45 yrs ago. the two handles should be the same overall length. The one you reconstructed should swivel probably on that nub you found in place of the second handle ( I don't know what kept it from falling off as did yours). This is important because that swivel handle unscrews at the base and can be relocated in the screw hole at the top an in line with the bit. I've assumed that it's meant to accommodate square based auger bits. My major use has been to use the swivel on top and to chuck in square based screw drivers. With stubborn screws, this gives excellent purchase (better even than a brace because the fixed handle is lower). For this purpose it's the best tool I've ever come across. Enjoy it for many years.

    I love tooling of all kinds, its great to look at a piece of history. I have at least 6 ratchets from 1/4 to 1/2'' use them all the time and never once gave it any thought to how they even evolved. Looking at this ratchet is what a tube TV is to a flat screen. I noticed you used an old screw driver as a drift or chisel, hit it with a hammer, not something I would do. The restoration job turned out great, though the rust remover used was not very effective. Keep up the great work.

    That ratchet is a really nice antique tool, I have never seen one like it before and your restoration was well done. However, I would suggest that anytime you have moving metal parts that actuate against additional metal parts, that you do not paint the area where there is metal to metal contact. Those areas should be totally free of all paint, grease, and gunk. After completion of cleaning all the parts, there should be either a dry lubricant spray or grease (whichever is applicable) applied to the metal to metal contact areas. I would also suggest that a dry lubricant spray should be applied to all pins and linkage parts. Personally, I would never use any type of oil or grease lubricants such as WD 40 or 3 in 1 oil or thread grease on any open moving parts. Inasmuch, as such type lubricants will draw both dirt, trash, and air-born contaminants to the area which becomes pure gunk. Within a period of time, such gunk will prevent the freedom to move as the part is designed to move and to freely operate without sluggish effort or total binding. It would also be advisable to rethread all screws, bolts, and nuts using the appropriate size thread chaser for each, before attempting to reassemble the parts. (i.e.) Wire brushes work wonders when cleaning away gunk from screws, bolts, nuts, etc. but such cleaning tools cannot restore any threads which may have become chipped, bent or otherwise damaged.

    Wonderful job on restoring that 1921 rachet! I've never seen one before. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for one. My oldest tool has family roots. See my dad worked as a machinist at the plant they made at in the 1960s. He was born in 1912. It is a 1909 H.K. Porter Hypowa dead on bolt cutters. I had a flea market vendor show be them and they were very rusty. I bought them and did my magic of cleaning of the rust and taking them apart which surprisingly was very easy. I painted them black with red lettering on handle. They look beautiful next to all the 17 other tools from that plant! Great job again!

    Clearly designed for a specific task or situation. It would be cool to know what it was for. A ratchet that requires no swing at all is pretty novel, but it had clearance requirements to work the handle. I suspect it may have been part of a tool kit for a specific piece of military equipment. Nice job on the restoration and video.

Aircraft Boats/ships or even Trains I have seen several newer ones and owned a few modern specialty ratchets but I am curious. short through. If you ever have to restore it again Might I suggest a good powder coat. From my understanding they take much more abuse and hold up much better. I know anodizing old tools is impractical unless you want to show off the use marks. Good restore and keep it up.
