IS that a ratcheting handle?

It is! I used to have one of these, can’t remember how I got it and don’t remember where I lost it… I hope it’s loved.

I have the same one, it was my parents’. It must be close to 70 years old. It was a handy tool for quick fixes back 8n the day. I lost the screw that secures the screwdrivers in place so I have a paperclip keeping them attached. I had the idea of finding a replacement screw and repairing it someday, but that day hasn’t come yet.
