Default Proxxon Rotary Rachet

I thot some guys/gals may be interested in this innovative tool. Since moving to AZ, I have gotten into Austrian off-road vehicles, specifically the Pinzgauer by Steyr/Daimler/Puch. Phenomenal vehicles engineered to the nines. Anyway, Thilo (pronounced T-Lo) has an outfit up north of me in Prescott. He is a double engineer from Germany and has very high standards and I thot this tool may be of use to some "wrenches" around here. I've got no dog in this fight - no kick backs. I have not bot one, but intend to.





The lower picture is a pair of ratchets "mating" (any other 1/4" will do). Go to T-Lo's Ultimate Offroad . In the left margin, 2/3rds of the way down click on Proxxon Tools for Sale. The first tool listed (#23082) is the tool I am referring to. Very innovative and useful for tight spots. I have travelled to Germany a good bit over the years and try to buy one or two hand tools while there. They typically end up being my go-to tools. Excellent workmanship and utility.

I have not seen this set-up before. Does anyone know if other tool manufacturers make something similar (i.e. MAC or Snap-On)?

I believe SK Tool's parent company "Facom" has those. I think I saw them in the SK catalog. Facom is the #1 Hand Tool manufacturer in Europe and The Official Hand Tool Supplier to Ferrari Formla 1
