How to lubricate sk ratcheting screwdriver?

[foxx_good]

Basically i have a SK Hand Tool SK73671 thats looks like:

and i want to fill it with....

so i was wondering should i just pour some in the hole is there any harm that can happen? or do i need to somehow disassemble it to lubricate it right?

Hmmm arent ratcheting screwdrivers twords the finer side of things as far as ratchets go ?
Maybe oil thats a little thinner would be better.

I use aero kroil on ratchet wrenches and drivers.

I wish I had that driver to see.
Does the hole go into the ratcheting mechanism or is it a dead end ?

Not to get off topic.


I got a Craftsman Pro ratchet driver that looks just like that SK, I have had it about 10 yrs or so. I have used it so much the lettering wore off the handle. I wonder who is the original manufacture of this driver

I'll snap a pic of mine in a few.

Mine looks a little different than yours, I never looked close at it before but it is marked made in Germany US PAT 5.069.091

I did not find any lube spot near the ratchet area on mine. But it has been a good driver especially when I need high torque to get something loose.

Sorry for getting OT, but I think the OEM might be Schroder (German):http://www.robert-schroeder.de/drehteile_uk.html
