SK Slim mechanism

[lardy1]

I have read references to a drop in mechanism that converts the standard 1/4" drive to 3/8" drive without purchasing the handle. I have the current SK catalog and have looked in their website but the replacements they sell don't specifically state that they fit the standard 1/4" drive handle.

Can anyone clarify please?

They do. I ordered a rebuild kit for a 3/8 thumb wheel ratchet, to convert an extra 1/4 ratchet I had laying around to 3/8. I then later found out they actually sell 3/8 in 1/4 body versions.

Thank you. In hindsight, I could (should) have emailed their customer service.

40970-9 That is the same rebuild kit for the 3/8" Slim's and the 3/8" thumbwheel. The tooth count is 60 just like the normal 1/4" ratchets. This information is available on page 32 of the catalog which is page 33 of the PDF. The slims are the same bodies as far as lengths go.

Thank you for that info. That cleared up my confusion.
