Anyone have any pictures of Cornwell 30t ratchet internals? Just curious how their mechanism works... I gather it's a "Batman"-style single-pawl design?

ganymede,
What do you use to remove the large snap ring and the little snap ring?

I use snap ring pliers now but in the past I've used *needle nose pliers.
*6 inch for the large ring and really tiny ones for the smaller one.

Another question... Do you find you can switch it with just your thumb? Or does it require the effort (or coordination?!) of switching a round-head?

I've got 4 in all drive sizes to 1/2" and just thumb pressure is enough.

I can second the ease of switching. It takes very little effort.
Are you considering one??

They are my favorite. It's a classic, so in no way a fine tooth, but I love the profile ... almost like a woman's body. It just feels right when you touch it.
