Does anyone use the push style screw drivers like the Yankee's? I have a bunch but never use them.

I offered to let him use it and...

Does Craftsman sell parts to rebuild 1/2 ratchets? Got a nice older (not too old) craftsman extra-lentgth swivel head 1/2 ratchet. The ratchet mechanism is a bit sticky. I could probably just bring it in but it was my grandpa's and he took the time to nicely engrave his name on it. Penmanship...
