Info on ratchet

Not that one. The ratchet you have is a 32 tooth.

Do you know a place I can get a replacement from ? Or do you have link

If you Google Craftsman ratchet repair cross reference, you should get some hits. I had a Craftsman Utica torque wrench that uses the same guts and found it on Ebay.

Awesome thanks
I’m honestly confused about what rebuild kit to get ?

Any idea what year this was released from?

I'm thinking late 90s. I probably bought mine in late ’99. It was lousy that the smaller ratchets were in the top area. But it was really handy to have that top area. I was able to keep quite a few additional tools in that compartment. Many plastic cases have no expandability.

The repair kit that fit my Craftsman Utica torque wrench was 43447. It's for the early quick release ratchets with 32 teeth. This is for a 1/2 drive model. Another option is to buy a used old QR for parts. Usually cheaper than a rebuild kit.

Yours looks like a 3/8 model. According to Alloy Artifacts (http://alloy-artifacts.org/craftsman-maker-v.html#qr-ratchets) it was made from 1965 to 1970. I think the rebuild kit you need is 43437.

The ratchet i have doesn’t have the Pat number on the handle like the one in the link. Does that matter ?

Call me crazy but I looked at some pictures and the part that I circle red on my ratchet looks a lot different then the once online.

Is it a 24 tooth gear? If so, it'll mostly likely work. Yours could be an early one before the patent was granted. I think yours only looks different because the selector switch is from a flex head or torque wrench.

Yes I just counted it, it’s 24 tooth and actually really smooth
Let me order the 43437 rebuild kit and see how it goes
