Restoring a 1/4" Palm Ratchet!
This palm ratchet is of unknown brand but still a good tool to me and very usable, not made for torque but for convenience, so worth cleaning up!

Thanks 👍 I wonder why because they are very useful!
I cut the bent handle off a really cheap junky ratchet and made my own. Sanding it nice and round and them put a piece of rubber hose around the outside. Had no use for that junky ratchet but now I have a thumbwheel ratchet if I ever need it.

Oh, I am going to have to try that, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palm ratchet with built-in swivel action! LOL. Just kidding. I bought a Snap-On palm ratchet in the early 80's. It still has a place in my toolbox.

I will suggest one of those small magnetized parts trays. HF has some that are about 1 1/2 wide by 3” long. Works great for small stuff like this as you can soak small parts in carb cleaner in the tray.
