Titan Gearless Ratchet - Slipping?

[tbgallant]

Hey all,

I have one of these Titan gearless ratchets in 1/4" that under higher load (nothing crazy for even 1/4" drive) it slips.

TITAN - 11200

Does anybody know how to take this apart? Maybe it got some lube/grease inside? Or maybe it is just junk, but I might as well try and pull it apart and see.

Cheers

Tim

I’d start by cycling brakleen through it to dissolve any buildup inside.
Those are similar to a sprag clutch and I would run it dry or with just a wee bit of light lubricant like WD40.

I agree with running it dry. Let it soak in acetone over night. At some point though, it will slip. Nature of the beast.
