How To FIX A Broken RATCHET With This Tool - Very Easy To Do - CRAFTSMAN TOOLS

[@stevebelekevich9147]

Great DIY tool. I made one with some solid 12 AWG wire I had at the house. Flatten the wire with a hammer. No drill bit needed - a center punch makes a good enough divot in the copper.. I still had to file, so 14 AWG solid wire might also work.

Dang, wish I saw your review before I struggled with making my own tool from galvanized fence wire. I will look for a cotter pin that matches your fix!

Is there a way to fix the quick release? My ball detent doesn’t hold the socket anymore.

Thanks Chris! I learned it when I couldn't get the ball bearing back in no matter how hard I tried lol!
