Neat idea for a thread. Hope you dont mind but I moved it to
the tool shed. Seems a better spot and up the page some.

Joe, the Billings rachet looks cool. Looks like die cast zinc
alloy (Zamak) any idea on the vintage?

first billings i have seen. wondered if the guts were made with
the same metal. took apart to see. only the back cover and
on/off switch were made of that metal. it is not steel.
1/2" ratchet......inside looks pretty stout. the gear was at
least 3/8" thick, pawl about the same. both steel.
was a S.O.B. to puzzle back together after stepping away after
cleaning, eating dinner and a beer. hahaha.
don't think anyone will ever find the need to see how these go
together.....but grabbed some pics.
edit. added photo and a couple words.

the craftsman bx internals look very similar to the snap shown
below.
suggest that you don't take this one apart. bear to get the
ball bearing back in the pawl.

this one is the fleet brand.
best gear in the bunch......but weird gear/pawl setup and does
not seem very stout at all.
