    Actually the ones pictured are marked "Yankee". Also seem to have a little switch to change ratchet direction, not seen on the Chapman. Yankee was/is a brand of Stanley Tools, who acquired it when they acquired North Bros Mfg about a century ago. Chapman does seem to have been the mfr for Lyman's ratchet. Probably still is.

    I had several when I was working, preretirement (mechanic/auto electrician). One I used a lot was a square drive that fit, exactly, a valve stem on Ford truck air conditing. Some are not reversable, you just flip the wrench over and that changes direction. Made by several manufacturers, I usually got mine from the SnapOn guy...

    Because it is NOT reversable, it can be trapped in tight spaces.
    To reverse direction, you have to pull it off/out of whatever you are turning and flip it over.
    Reversable ratchets are why more user friendly...for me.
    jmo,
    .
    Size/Prime a few cases when starting off with a progressive and put them aside. You can plug them back into the process when a bad/odd case screws up in the priming station and continue loading.

    Slip a piece of heat shrink tubing like the stuff used for electrical connections on the end and shrink in place. Saves wear and tear on the hands during long bullet sizing sessions. I upgraded to cheap (garage sale/ flea market) 1/4 drive ratchet wrenches with 1/4 inch six sided sockets, much more hand friendly than the little wrenches.

    Harbor Freight has one that comes with extra screwdriver bits for about $4.00.
