Default looking for a Tool (ratchet)

Not real sure the best place to post this one ... a very general section would be best .... next best is somewhere where LOTS of gearheads might hang out

BUT
I've searched all over and either just not getting the right search phrases im friggin blind.

When i was a bit younger and was working on cars my step dad had a ratchet that worked wonders on certain things ..
I've found a dozen places its would have worked wonders for ...
The problem is i can find one to buy anymore.


More or less all it was was a long handled 3/8 ratchet... Looked like it had a think handle one it.

At the back of the handle .. it had a second addition .. it had a small T handle sticking out the back that would turn the ratchet head ... I also saw one that had a small **** on it instead of the T bar.

Ive search everywhere i can think of and browsed all over... IM starting to think im just geting the spelling wrong .. because i havent even seen something close at this point.

Any ideas?

Pretty cool tool by JC Whitney. Maybe Snap-on or Sears has a similar one.

They have a T-handle ratchet at Canadian Tire, they call it the "T-handle speed racthet". If your not Canadian, I'm sure you can order on-line.
