that's the first time I've seen DynoDale's. Holy chit. That drawer probably weighs 50lbs.

How good is that Matco stubby ratchet

Surprisingly good, considering it has the same guts as a CMan. I bought it from wrenchr. The reverse lever was more brass than chrome, so I switched one over from a CMan. With RLL in it, it's a very nice little ratchet. Fits well in the hand. I guess the non-QR style of the Matco makes for better ratcheting...

So how did put the ball, that part seems jump when I take part...
Do the part from a Matco fit a Craftsman?

Everything except the gear is interchangeable (the gear isn't since CMans have the QR).

Putting the ball: Put spring in hole, put ball on top. Use a thin slotted screwdriver to depress the ball and put the pawl/reverse lever etc. in. Only takes about three hands... :D

SO makes a super cheap tool to hold the ball in place (which I keep forgetting to get). Can't seem to find the link at the moment... Anybody?

Is the 3/8's in the middle the 11 1/4 amd the 1/2 in the middle the 17 5/8? :drool:

They are the FX80 and SX80 and replace a whole bunch of other ratchets for me since they lock. :D Highly recommended!
