How strong is your ratchet?

I still remember the day some shy, smiling, "hippy" gal came into the store with a BENT 3/8 ratchet, "I don't suppose? this is guaranteed?"

It was one of those with a circular head, I don't remember what brand, SK, Proto, Thordarson, what. I told, here, "not unless you can convince me your boyfriend did that with his bare hands"

"I didn't think so" she said.

A lot of guys used to think tools were under "unconditional guarantee" but there actually WERE condtions and and two of those was "wear" and "abuse" and another was using standard sockets at the end of an air gun.

I still to this day have an old Thordarson 1/2 ratchet with a circular handle with a hole in the end. From about the first week I bought it, I fitted a piece of electrical conduit over the handle and ran a bolt over the end for more leverage. It's been on that ratchet since the '70's. Back in those days, I did not have air guns or a 3/4 socket set. I've still got that ratchet, and never broken it.

EDIT LOL Turns out it's an "Industro" and here it is
