Oh like on one of those sites? I know you can find where they are sold on their site. Blackhawk had some nice stuff. I like that ratchet that has the twist handle on it.You can still get them.

Yes I’ve got two. My dad bought one of them new in 1983 in his big Craftsman kit. Wish we still had the 1/4 drive we had it replaced with one of those really wide ugly ones.I àlso have this ratchet. It's not marked USA, but it is a pretty good ratchet. I've used it a lot.

See ebay listings 353369328878 and 283770881305. These older round heads are not uncommon! Nice ratchets.Yes I’ve got two. My dad bought one of them new in 1983 in his big Craftsman kit.

Yes I have seen some of them. Usually people want a war price for them.See ebay listings 353369328878 and 283770881305. These older round heads are not uncommon! Nice ratchets.
You can see the origins of these ratchets in the handle design. The Blackhawk are Krauter (lower priced and owned by SK) from over 50 years ago and the other are Armstrong.For fun here are the proto compared to the new craftsman.

Now the 3/8 new craftsman next to the 1/2 inch blackhawk!
The 3/8 craftsman is a large a head as the 1/2 blackhawk!

I like the feel of the blackhawk. But i also like the oil port craftsman for some reason. The new 1/2 inch craftsman is so large it is almost unusable.You can see the origins of these ratchets in the handle design.

This is the first set I ever bought for myself when I was 13 years old (mine is long gone but I found this one for sale).

Always looking for a good ratchet how much you want for it?The heads on the Craftsman are huge I wouldn't want them. I have a few ratchets that I dont like them, the Wright 1/2" round head I used one time for one or 2 bolts and never picked it up again, I will probably fleabay the thing. The Williams round head is so much nicer to use and half the price.
