HOW TO CONVERT YOUR 1/4 DRIVE ICON FLEX-HEAD RATCHET TO 3/8 DRIVE, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW 😲

[@jefftovani5535]

Don't forget to put the new washer on the new anvil,I already had it on, just didn't show that step!! Side note,I'm not seeing a current listing for this kit on Tektons website!!

[@SofiaisSunshine]

The shim comes with the kit?

[@victorhoyt4352]

The part number to type in on tekton's website to find this kit is SRH9X014

[@jefftovani5535]

Yes but I'm no longer seeing the kit on their website!! Damn!!

[@victorhoyt4352]

@@jefftovani5535 I still see it on there. That's how I got the part number. It's still there.

[@latola7204]

Lucky I just did the swap last week, should have ordered a spare. @jefftovani5535 can you do a side by side with the tone ratchet. Looking to get a nice quarter inch one. Ty, enjoying the size comparison videos.

[@scottpatterson-es4re]

Imagine the clerk at harbor freight trying to find that one when swapping it for a warranty. I’d forget I changed it.

[@jefftovani5535]

Hi scott that would be funny!! thanks scott!!

[@CookieMonstahEsq]

So funny - a few minutes ago I commented on your 10,000 subscriber giveaway video about how I had done this exact upgrade with my icon 1/4" ratchet. Only to see you posted this video just a few hours before! Fwiw, I liked the Icon out of the box, but changing it to a 3/8" really has made it unbelievably useful. Highly recommended mod.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thats is funny!! well were on the same page,lol!! thanks my friend for joining in!!!

Great information, Jeff, stay warm

That’s awesome. I just got one off the truck. I am going to do this for my home set. Great video!

Hi kyle the Tekton kit is not curently available on thier website,you got one off the truck?

Thanks Jose for taking s gander!!

[@RyldUpLtd]

The SRH9X014 is the current listing for the 3/8 small boy ratchet kit. Not sure if it is the same, i plan on ordering the tekton small body ratch set and when it comes in ill do a video on it

[@jefftovani5535]

I think the kit # SRH9X014 is for a push bottom release ratchet made by Tekton,the # SRH9X009 is curently unavailable!!

[@RyldUpLtd]

@jefftovani5535 SRH9X014 is the non quick release, the quick release kit ends in 19

[@MichaelKistler-z4e]

@@jefftovani5535 The SRH9X019 kit is for 3/8 quick release. The SRH9X014 is the small body 3/8 non quick release. I ordered the SRH9X014 kit and will return to update on how well it fits after I receive it.

[@MichaelKistler-z4e]

Just received the SRH9X014 kit today. Installed just the same as the one in the video. The kit costs $2 more but works great in this little ratchet.

[@RyldUpLtd]

@MichaelKistler-z4e i just got a kit in yesterday as well, but I don't have a torx bit small enough to gut the icon 1/4. Guess I need to go buy more tools lol

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea it wont work on the non flex!! plus the kit is not currently listed on Tekton website!!!

[@blazebrady3659]

@jefftovani5535 dang, I should've bought a couple of em back when I first heard about the conversion and saw them on the website. Maybe they'll come back.

[@douglasmiles1215]

Tekton changed the part # ,maybe it's an upgrade, but the part # is SRH9X014 $9:00

Nice tip for icon ratchets hope tekton gets those kits back in stock

Yea were all hoping!! thanks MJS!!

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again, Jeff Thank you for another Great Video 👍 That looks like a great idea. Will you be doing an in/after use report? How does it work or feel? Stay safe and warm. Again thank you 👌

[@jefftovani5535]

Yes i will do a follow up!! currently though Tekton doesnt have this kit in stock!!

[@sambrown6975]

I’d be interested in seeing a video series where its videos that are for one weird tool, an example of one would be for this kind of tool. Best ratchet 3/8 anvil in a 1/4 body kinda thing, comparing different options from different brands. I’ve seen a few versions of that kind of ratchet

[@jefftovani5535]

Great feedback!! will see what we can come up with!! thanks sam!!

Nice video jeff! Jeff i have a question. Trying to get my old mans 20 year old generator going and it is leaking oil from the crankcase. If i separate it to replace the gasket will everything come falling out or will it stay in place. I know your missing lots of variables but I dont want to write an essay lol. Briggs and stratton engine, Homelite LR4400 generator

[@jefftovani5535]

Im not familiar with that model,i would really have to see it!! can you find a you tube video on the Homolite?

[@Chilly-uq2zl]

@@jefftovani5535 eh not on this particular repair. Much of it has to do with the oil shut off. Ima get into it though, thanks jeff!

Great video and nice hack.

Thank you Zombie!!!

[@donjohnson3701]

So, what is the rest of the story? Who made who? Did harbor freight make the Tektron or did Tektron make the Icon? In any case, this is a slick conversion, thanks!

[@jefftovani5535]

Thats a great question,thier both made in the same factory,thats for sure!! thanks don!!

[@douglasmiles1215]

Tekton had a new part # for this kit. SRH9X014 $9:00

[@Sethhaun78]

If you use smallratchets upside down or in the palm like i do the icons are to thin..the bar part to grip..but in ordinary use its ok...not thr best action but not tryed the fkexheads..i do have non comfort 3/8 icon flexhead.. want to buy some locking ones. Seems best way to go .i do like my 3/8 1/2 ,diehards..flexhead s...realy nice in my opinion 🎉😢😂..now i need the flex qaurter..i first bought the non flex to try not sure what i was thinking but its nice to ..very small in fact smaller thrn icon in most ways ..definitely shorter

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you Seth for sharing that with the channel!! something about ratchets,gotta love um!!!!

[@Cesarrivera-pj8rx]

By the way what the part number ? Because I’m seeing two possibilities on the repair kit .

[@jefftovani5535]

This kit on Tekton website is currantly unavailable,the kits your seeing are for quick release button design!!

[@douglasmiles1215]

The new part # at tekton is SRH9X014. Small body service kit. $9:00 be sure to NOT get the quick release.

[@JPPerez-tn8xe]

I’m addicted to tools!!

Boyni hear ya!! thank you JP!!

[@RobNorton]

Not a bad way to do it! Small head bogger drive. I have the astro 3/8 in 1/4 head

[@jefftovani5535]

Hi Rob,just a cool option!! astro is neat ratchet!! thanks Rob!!!

[@EbikeCarlos]

Thars so cool imma convert mine soon

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea this is sweet!! currently Tekton doesnt have this kit available though!!

[@samueljburnt9307]

Do you know of any other convertible ratchets?

[@jefftovani5535]

I do have a subscriber who does,douglas miles!! he always in the comments!!

[@ironclaw6969]

It's not really a conversion kit, it's a rebuild kit for a 3/8: 90-tooth Tekton ratchet.It just happens to be the same size, maybe they use the same OEM.

[@jefftovani5535]

yea your rite,its for a Tekton ratchet,but non the less it works pretty niffty!! thanks claw for joining in!!

[@larryborkstrom3580]

If it's the same as tekton wouldn't you be better off just buying a Tekton to begin with because the price is better

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea this is just a option,if you already have the Icon!! thanks larry!!

[@douglasmiles1215]

The texton small body flex comes in standard and quick release, both $40 . But only in steel handle. So it is cheaper to buy the Tekton, unless you want a comfort grip. I do gotta say that the Icon conversion is smoother than the 1/4" original and the tekton 3/8". This one and my others I converted are all very, very smooth.

[@douglasmiles1215]

Also, tekton has changed thd part # on this kit. The new one is SRH9X014. $9:00

[@motokilljoy]

Love it!

[@jefftovani5535]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Sethhaun78]

Guess im out then..no flex...waiting for harborfreight to have sale snd get Hercules electronic ratchet 1/4 and 3/8 with battery and charger.and some impacts and or more ratchets ..like Pittsburgh and quin or maybe thst one.. we have only green Pittsburgh unless i missed something didn't see any red ones and or have no t here

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea dosnt work on regular non flex!!! Hercules is a good line!!!! thanks Seth!!

[@slim56]

That’s cool, but I don’t see what the point is. I have 1/4 drive sockets up to 15 mm. Anything bigger then that I’ve never needed a ratchet heat smaller then a standard 3/8 ratchet

You need to list how much the kit actually costs (INCLUDING shipping).

[@jefftovani5535]

They were $9 ,not seeing this kit currently on thier website,im sure shipping would vary,depends where you live!!

[@samueljburnt9307]

Its 14 INCLUDING shipping BEFORE tax. But if you buy $25 worth of stuff shipping is free. Also you can add a $3 tekton bumper sticker to your orderfor free with any purchase but you have to add it manually. Also theyre back in stock
