Craftsman Ratchet Rebuild Kits

[Slinger646]

So I have a lead on some rebuild kits.

What's the interchangeability with them can I convert the standard pear head (44808, etc.) ratchets to fine tooth and such? Also, do any of the parts interchange with the older style V series round head and tear drop style?

At the price I've been offered, I want to lay in what I can.

I don't believe you can. Even the USA pearhead 36t takes a different rebuild kit as the Chinese 36t.

on GJ some where I have seen a chart that tells what kit goes with which ratchet. You might use the search.

AFAIK they're all US kits and all my stuff is US.

A searchin' I'll go.

Awesome. Found them all with the exception of my 1/4" model 43815.

The repair kits only fit the models they're intended for. You can't turn a older 30 tooth Craftsman ratchet into a 36 tooth version. The non quick release round head ratchets won't accept the fine tooth quick release kits and vice versa. if you love those ratchets then the repair kits might be handy to have but, there are soo many better ratchets out these days than an old Craftsman.
