Way back in High School shop class ('89) there was a 3/8" S-K or
SnapOn palm ratchet which I loved using.  It was black plastic, in the
shape of a Wankel rotor (rounded triangle) about 3" across.  It fit in
the palm perfectly and was *great* for speeding nuts and bolts on or
off quickly.

I made the mistake of not stealing it ;) so I've been looking for one
like it since then.  Just dawned on me to see if anyone has anything
like it or knows where to find one.  I'm not looking for a stubby
ratchet, I can find those easily.  The real benefit of this tool was
the way it fit in your hand and how the balance made it *really* fast.

Does anyone have anything like this... or know where to get one?  Help
me bring this 10 year (on and off) search to an end! :D

Closest I got was a dog-bone shaped palm ratchet in Harbor Freight
which was backordered and I never received. :|
