Proto Ratchets

[hyjaxe]

Hello all,

I was able to get a used Proto 5450P ratchet for cheap, looks like someone was using it as a hammer and broke the lever on it. It's polished, knurled handle with really fine tooth gear (about 50), and 15" handle. I have been having trouble trying to find a repair kit for it, I'm guessing it is no longer available but wanted to reach out on here and see if anyone might know where to get one. I feel like this particular ratchet is an odd ball because any 5450 model I look up only has either a 45 or 24 tooth count.

I called Proto, and they referred to me the rebuild kit J5449RK, but it is not the same. Got one through Zoro, and it is an entirely different design. Thanks in advance for any help!

That must be from the Big Dawg line of ratchets. They were discontinued in the past along with the kits. Maybe someone knows the correct kit number.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure what model line this one comes from. I was way off on the tooth count, it is closer to 50 on this one.

The "P" in the model number indicates it is a Big Dawg.
