Show us a picture
We need a ratchet # or something.
This.

Preferably a model number and a picture.

Craftsman makes a LOT of different 3/8 flex ratchets that use different kits, and if that wasn't confusing enough, they kept the same model numbers on many when they went from USA to China manufactured, and those use different kits.

EDIT: OP's post count probably precludes posting a picture yet. I don't remember the rule or how many posts one needs before it will let them. Could post a link to an image hosted elsewhere though.

This may help

=V= is an old model. Unfortunately, a rebuild kit would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

You're pretty much limited to SnapOn, MAC, Matco and SK if you want a USA made 3/8" flex head in 2025.

you are not getting good info.

first of all, 44363 is a breaker bar. someone switched a handle for some reason. not that uncommon.

second, find a picture of the actual head, either take one or find one online. a pic is worth a 1000 words.

third, parts for cman ratchets are out there. either new or scavenged from an old ratchet there are parts hoarders here. get the info and you will get results. whether it is worth the money or the time is your call.

Any chance you bought that off ebay? At one time, there was a seller putting ratchet heads on breaker bar handles to mimic the hard to find flex head ratchets. One of them was even a member here at one time.

I have a vintage flex head I like and there was no rebuild kit.
I went through stuff and found a fixed head ratchet that used the same kit and stole the pieces from it
