[Shop-talk] Ratchet rebuilding WAS Socket marking? (and a quick 'why?)

[Steven Trovato]

Back in the day you could get the rebuild kit for free from 
Sears.  When mine broke, I searched around and found a guy on ebay 
selling some of the old kits.  One might argue that a rebuild old 
ratchet is better quality than a new replacement.  If you'd rather 
trade it in, I believe Ace Hardware also carries 
Craftsman.  Craftsman has a phone number you can call.  They should 
point you to the nearest place where you can trade it in.
