It think I remember those Roger....If I remember correctly, you squeezed the handle to release them. I think they may have been used in Chevrolet/GMC trucks maybe into the 60’s. I’ll have to do some looking next time I’m a the junk yard.

Yep, that's the one - about 18" to 20" long, as I recall, and the ratchet base is bulky.

Here's what I use.
Cheap and easy.
