I frequently grab my antique plomb ratchets over my many new fancy ratchets! The weight, balance, sound, fit and finish, feel just seem perfect! I kinds baby them a bit and sometimes need the 4 degree swing but the old plomb ratchets should be retired but no I still enjoy working with them! On a side note does the addition of cat hair enhance your spray lubricant?
Hello again, Catus Maximus and Tiny Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Thank you for another History Tool Lesson, I always learn something New. Thank you 😊 I almost forgot to ask you. What type of oil did you use hère. Thanks
Thanks Catus. I didn't know the story behind the name change. That looks like its still a good usable ratchet. I thought i saw somewhere that the modern Proto design uses the same parts? Is that true??
That ratchet is a beauty
Great review, again. Thanks! Plomb was, and now PROTO is, a top-notch tool maker. Wish I had some Plombs among my PROTOs.
I have a few Koken knurled handle offerings... they're great!
They do knurling right, aggressive, but not so much as to be sharp and/or annoying.
I really wouldn’t mind having one of these! I need a couple of vintage ratchets and wrenches to out in a small display I plan to make.
That is very well made back when attention to detail was a little more important. Thanks Catus
Glad you liked it

In about 80 years the mechanism has never changed and you can put a brand new PROTO 4749 rebuild kit into an early PLOMB 4749.
I prefer Super Lube to lubricate my ratchets. I seems to not dry out and does not leak out like the lube you used.
Thanks Catus. I didn't know the story behind the name change. That looks like its still a good usable ratchet.

✌️
What oil did you use to lube that ratchet? I couldn't quite tell.
Lifts leg and farts.
