Some years back, I had a 3/8 drive Socket Wrench, which got stolen and I'd like to replace it.

What was different about this wrench was its reversing mechanism...Instead of the usual little lever, it had a sort-of "Rocker action" type switch, which was very convenient to use. You just pressed down with your thumb to reverse direction, and that was it.

This is what I mean by "Rocker Action" type switch:

The shape of the head of the wrench was round, not oval or elliptical.


I cannot remember what brand this tool was.


Does this description sound familiar to anyone..?

TIA.

The only ones I've seen like that were sort of "off brands" Frankly, the one I remember was a PITA If you got into close quarters, it was all too easy to bump the rocker and it would catch and hang up on stuff
