Absolutly..had some 30 plus year raised pabel c-man box end set...gave em to my brother..never cared for that style ever...no matter how i tried never could grt use to a c-nan ratchet either...oh well to each his own
I have one of the danaher made napa branded ones that use the same mechanism, that one isn't too bad compared to some.
I opened both up a few years back, I think the reason is the teeth pawl on the craftsman one wasn't as deep as the ones of the napa, it didn't engage as positively as the napa. The ratchet wasn't used very much either, just different manufacturing tolerances for craftsman possibly. I did swap the drive end from the craftsman into the napa because it lacked the quick release of the craftsman, its serviceable for a junk yard box, at least it doesn't grind up nuckles from slipping into neutral like the cman did.
Then again, I had a kobalt 1/4 made by danaher I bought in a set from lowes and that was a stinker too. I'd rated them a solid notch above those ratchets you see in the $4 socket set specials from HF, useable, but you'd rather not.
