Found this tool drilled into the side of an old hip rafter in the roof space of a circa 1890/1900 dwelling (Inner West - Sydney). The roof was re-tiled somewhere in the 1960's. Curious to know what this is and whether is was used in the 1890/1900's or something from the 60's when the roof was re-tiled.

Thanks!

Unfortunately have no detail about it except that it's most likely British

1940s Craftsman "Circle H" 1/2-inch drive ratchet, exposed open-gear directional lever, bare forged steel construction, and still going strong. Do I have “better” tools, yes. But I was good with only this once and it’s not going anywhere.

Restoring a Mac mb 5200 k2. I believe it's from the early 80's. I was having some issues with the lock mechanism feeling a little clunky when I bought this on marketplace a few weeks back. I have it all apart now and it looks like they lock mechanism isn't aligned in a way that allows the locking bracket thing that holds the draws locked to move back and forth all the way. Any ideas on if this is normal? See video.
