Facom S.155 ratchet screw issue?

[autobon7]

Does the S.155 have the same screw issue as the S.151? Tried searching to no avail. Anyone who owns this ratchet chime in with your own mini review/opinion.
Thanks in advance

Are you talking about the sweet spot or the screw coming loose?

Tell us about both. I have a similar style and took it apart and used the blue locktite, the red was in it. It is either to tight or to loose.Thanks in advance Fedwrench

Hi,
Using Locktite solves the inconvenience, IFAIK.

Tighten the screw until rotation is altered, back-off 1/8 turn, check for free rotation (both sides) and you should be done for good.

Just like suresnoi said, several thousands of 151 (and cousins) ratchets are in use in France and no one complains about them.
Just make sure to remove all the grease from the threads before applying loctite, otherwise it won't hold well.

Point well taken, thanks
