I recently found one with a non working ratchet.
The handle on the left (that can rotate) is cracked. When I bought it, it had friction tape around it to prevent it from rotating.
This disassembly is after a bath in Backyard Ballistics homemade rust remover substitute for evaporust.
This is fully assembled. The rotating handle can be mounted in line with the chuck and that's why it was made rotating.
The ratchet is missing a part :-(
I think it is a spring. I'm hoping I can find someone else's disassembly pictures so I can see what I need to make.
Maybe there is a brace with a similar mechanism.
The chuck is quite robust. The jaws can stay parallel which should enable modern bits in addition to the square taper bits,
If I want to use it before the repair, I could tape the ratchet jaws closed,
