How To Fix A Slipping & Worn Ratchet... :)

[@BASE_Automotive]

THANK YOU! I LITERALLY DID ALL THE ABOVE AND THEN CAME TO KZbin AND THIS GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO CONTINUE!

Did that with a S-K 1/4" ratchet the other day it was rusted solid filed it and put a rebuild kit in it works great

[@matthoffman6962]

Taking off that spring ring is a pain in the ass same thing with getting it back in. Looking for a way to get it off without damage.

great vid - I have a few SK round heads from the 1950's that I don't want to warranty because the new ones just ain't the same. A rebuild kit didn't help the skipping. Bet a little love with a file will get them running good again.

[@Discoworx]

Worth a go. Good to have seen inside anyway!

[@summercouch455]

Did u replace the spring that pushes on the paw, sometimes those wear out, and cause skipping also.. ya, the needle file next time, for sure. Good video!!

[@donho3617]

I stretch them out one time and then get a rebuild kit the next time I see the tool truck.

That ratchet looks like somebody's go to ratchet for a few decades!

[@snapringchronicles3020]

Good stuff👍..that’s a cool looking MAC. Never seen the inside of their roundheads. With those 5 teeth and double pawls it looks like a beast of a ratchet

I think you have a good idea. Too bad the throw away mentality generations don't want to spend a little time to salvage great tools.

thanks! i fixed my ratched thanks to you

[@baconstrips6260]

Subbed! I love the name for one, I need to fix a ratchet as well. Thank you for the insight! I am looking at honing down the bering detents on a tear drop ratchets shifter pawl and adding a double spring under the bering to try to mine to work. Any thoughts?

[@alandesgrange9703]

So, this means that a rebuild kit wouldn't work. I would think that most would assume they need the rebuild kit, without taking apart the ratchet first.

.Buy new pawls...or...It's got a lifetime warranty..get a replacement...or..breakout the precision files and clean it up good ..it should be worth it....👍

[@michigancitizen9548]

I turned it off at 2:15 ... because you ramble on and on about different rachet stuff and not on actual fix.

[@politicalpotato8383]

👍👍👍👍👍 Crack..........⚾️ "Grand slam"!!

[@danr1920]

I would not use it because of safety reason. You will bust your knuckles.

[@walkersullivan6201]

Id just warrantee it

[@MrJruta]

Poor material design- thinking the pawl teeth should have been made softer than the ratchet body to facilitate easier refurbishment, but I guess like most things it’s designed to fail lol

This guy talks too much
