Hi all,
I've got a craftsman torque wrench model 9-44543 from the early 90's and it needs the ratcheting mechanism repaired. I've read plenty of posts about earlier and later models but can't seem to find any info on this particular wrench. It's a round head design with a spring type lock ring on the drive side of the head to hold everything in place. If anybody has any info as to who made them or if they cross with a particular ratchet etc., it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Demian

searspartsdirect.com comes up with a "1/2" microtork PART NUMBER: 44543 We're sorry. This item is no longer available." response. You might give them a call and see what they say. When I worked @ Sears; sometimes we were able to order a rebuild kit for the head if the parts were available. Can you post a picture of the head and ratcheting assembly; that might help us figure out what could work for you.

Thanks Billy.
The folks at my local Sears weren't particularly helpful but perhaps I'll try another store.
I've added some pics to the original post so maybe somebody will be able to steer me in the right direction.
The ratcheting action still actually works but a tooth sheared off one of the pawls so I'd like to have parts on hand.
Thanks again.

I have this wrench and the handle is gone and it needs calibration. $10 plus shipping and it's yours.
