I opened up and cleaned this 1/2 inch ratchet this evening (Britool, made in England)
I normally just oil them but this time I added some grease, made it run very smoothly  :drool:

Rotation switch on the front.  That's different.

Don't let Mark anywhere near it. I've seen him trying to light a Tilley  :ahhh

I keep trying to tell him the flames should be on the inside, but he doesn't seem to believe me :dwts:

Town wide tag sales, so me, the Mrs, and the little guy are going tag sale hopping very soon, sucks not having a car so we can only hit so many.. :(  but maybe we’ll find something to turn that frown from a very bad morning/night upside down..

Yeah, normally you have to pay the town in order to sell anything at your own house, but twice a year they wave the fee so everyone jumps in and sells at their own house in the yard or garage.. we just got back cause the Mrs wasn’t feeling to good, that and there wasn’t many sales and for what sales we did stop at they kinda sucked, so nothing :(
Oh and the Mrs uses one of those walkers, so some stuff can just sit on that or we hang bags from the handles, when she was in her electric wheelchair I made a trailer and made it to attach to the chair, that was perfect, but I’d rather her walk..

Yeah, just sucks since everything is spread across town rather then just in one big field when you don’t drive.
