Does anyone know the part number for the rebuild kit for a 3/8 drive ratchet?

Is there a similar kit in 1/2" and what is the corresponding GearWrench ratchet?

 

[daveblank]

1/4 afr8tk
3/8 bfr8tk
1/2 cfr8tk

I hope this helps.

any way to get these kits other than chasing the Matco truck down the street? the part numbers don't work on Matco's website.

I just swapped a Matco 88 kit into a GW ratchet. Save and reuse the spring clip from the GW. The Matco one is definitely thicker and makes the ratchet bind.

not to steal the thread but do you guys actually break your GearWrench ratchets and then upgrade? or just buy and upgrade?

I bought 3 ratchets planning on upgrading them all but they're nice enough already I don't really feel the need to until they break (if ever)

I hate to bring back a 12 year old thread but I have a question. MATCO website does not show a listing for these kits anymore (afr8tk,bfr8tk, and cfr8tk) but they do show afr8tka,bfr8tka, and cfr8tka. So my question is are these the same 88 tooth rebuild kit just a revised or newer version? I have several Armstrong Maxx ratchets and I am trying to find rebuild kits for them before the supply dries up. Thanks

I have three armstrong maxx ratchets, so I am curious as well

That didn't answer my question.

That didn't answer my question.

Sorry, meant to add I think they're revised. Fits my older 88 heads fine.
