Is not made any more, your best bet is to look on ebay.

Part no on the ratchet?

I;ve got a few C'man NOS rebuild kits layin' around.

I;ve still got the 1/2" kit jakemac PM'd me about a while back.

The model number for that ratchet is #4378. The number for the repair kit is #4478.

It is no longer made, and not available through Sears, unless someone in your area has a secret stash. Highly unlikely. Occasionally they show up on eBay. Set up a search w/ email notifications to let you know when one pops up. They go fast, you're not the only one looking.

The kit doesn't include the Butterfly selector or the matching pawl. You will need to re-use the one you have, or change over to either the Long Lever or Hourglass selector and pawl. Both are included in the kit.

Alternatively, you can keep an eye out for a donor ratchet to use for parts. This may be faster.

Good luck.

That kit won't work. It has the quick release head. You might be able to use the retaining clips, Long Lever, pawl, and the springs. but the head won't fit the non-quick release ratchet.

I had an impact that I had gotten shortly after graduating HS that needed a rebuild kit some 6-7 years back, and I ended up having to go the eBay route as well. Sears had long since discontinued the kit and the impact was probably only about 10 years old then.
