They pop up on ebay from time to time, prices vary. There are some listed now, mostly 1/2 drive. They dont tend to last on there so you about have to check a couple times a day. The locking flexes are harder to find. Searching by each part number may yield better results at times...

Don't know if this will help you any but I've got the Matco equivalents. I have the older 60T version but I've since installed the Armstrong 88T rebuild kit. I've seen the Matco ones pop up on ebay more than the Armstrong ones in 3/8". BFR88T is the p/n for the 3/8" 88T. BFR8T is the 60T. There's a few on ebay right now.
I bought these new off the truck almost 20 yrs ago & I've been really happy with them cause of the slim profile.

Yeah I have the 1/2 Armstrong maxx been trying to hunt down the 3/8. And to the Matco 60t i was considering but like the feel of the Armstrong better in my hand. I have a pair of matco br8t those cant be upgraded tho. Still decent ratchets but really just wanna find that Armstrong 3/8 lol. Thanks ya guys.

Which style are you looking for? Flex head or standard? I have one I might let go of for the right price. I upgraded, I believe, 88 tooth internals.
Well I couldn’t find just the 3/8 but a person had all 3 the 1/4,3/8,1/2 as a set so I said to hell with it been looking for some time and bought the set. Is yours a flex head? If so whats the condition and what you thinking on price? And it is the maxx series correct? Hit me back when you get time and thanks for the response I love this site and the people on here someone is always looking to help another out with whatever it might be.

I really like the shape of the handles comfortable to work with and the maxx line with the upgraded tooth count makes it my favorite goto 1/2 ratchet. I got a whole set on the way but still looking for a flex head maxx!!!
That afr5t is my goto 1/4 ratchet! Its low profile is great but i like the little extra length on it. Just a really well rounded ratchet. Matco hit it right on the head with that one.Don't know if this will help you any but I've got the Matco equivalents.

I agree, that ratchet was my goto for 1/4" when I worked at a shop. Love the length & slim head. Still one of my favorites.

I have both the 3/8” standard and flex head. I changed the internals on both of them. PM me if your interested.
