This past Sunday I purchased a Kobalt 3/8 drive teardrop ratchet #22800 (made in USA) at my local flee market for $2. The ratchet needed cleaned up and oiled, so I took it home, tore it apart, serviced it and put it back together. I noticed that the design, guts, and even quick-release button of...

Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated!

I have a vintage 3/8 drive craftsman fine-toothed ratchet in the "v" series #43781. I would like to know when it was made and if I can still get parts (rebuild kit) for it. Does anyone know? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
