Can you pass up a USA ratchet for $1? I can’t. This one also came with a socket and two extensions which were a bonus. Come along as I remove the rust and work to get this tool back in shape and ready for work.

Fleet was made by Proto.
I've unstuck many old found or scrounged ratchets (at one point I probably had a dozen or more) and the one tool that was most helpful was a good old fashioned adjustable wrench. It gives you the added torque you need to break both sides free without cramping up your hands.
DUDEZILLA!!! When you do AWESOME SAUCE, AKA Evaporust. you will be AMAZED!!! Also, 50% ATF and 50% aceton works GREAT for freeing up stuff like bolts and rachets! OBI WON, ScoutCrafter taught me that!!!! https://youtu.be/9NgHMyKnvus
