Lowest price ever according to the Camel. The 1/2" size ratchet adapter [amazon.com]is selling for $12.45, as well. I did buy one of the 1/2" adapters already, and I can confirm it's Made in Taiwan and 72 tooth, as I recall. Lifetime warranty, as well.

About this item
  • EASY RATCHETING: Convert your breaker bar or sliding T-handle into a ratchet with the Performance Tool W38137 3/8-Inch Drive Ratcheting Breaker Bar Adapter, for quick and easy ratcheting action.
  • VERSATILE DESIGN: The hex bolster allows for use with an open end or adjustable wrench, while the reversible ratcheting mechanism with an anodized switch collar makes it easy to switch between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.
  • DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Made from heavy-duty chrome vanadium, this adapter is built to withstand tough jobs and has an oil-resistant black phosphate finish to protect against rust and corrosion.
  • INDEPENDENT RATCHETING: With its thumbwheel ratchet design, the Performance Tool W38137 can also be used independently for added convenience.

As an FYI, that's the rating for the 3/8 adapter. It's a bit harder to get 164 ft lbs on a 3/8 breaker bar. The 1/2" PT adapter, however, is rated at 411.5 ft/lbs [jegs.com].
I bought the 1/2" on last deal. This one doesn't make much sense. If I'm using a breaker bar it's gonna be 1/2"
My largest ratchet is 1/4 the length of my largest breaker bar. Breaking truck lug nuts, it'd be nice to have a ratchet setup. Use case seems clear to me. 1/2" of course.

This is the answer I got from chat:

Thank you.
On checking I can see that the item is not available on your nearest Fulfillment center
That is why it is not delivered to your address.

I have never understood the purpose of a ratchet adapter which makes a pull handle into something bigger and clumsier than a racthet wrench.

I would be very careful with this, you can easily exceed 164.5ft/lbs with a long breaker bar.

Agree. I'm never using my breaker for anything but it's intended use. If I have a 3/8 breaker, I almost certainly have my ratchet handy too. This is a waste of money/drawer space

I've had uses for it where my 3/8 ratchet doesn't have enough leverage. My Lexus oil filter comes off with an adapter that's 3/8 and if I don't lift my car up enough I can't get my breaker to turn enough to loosen it. Ratcheting would easily fix that. If I lift my car up enough it's fine though.
