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

[Pat Horne]

Yes, Ace sells Craftsman, at least at my local store. They will only swap out tools for the exact part number which is fine for screwdrivers & sockets but might be a problem for ratchets. 

Peace,
Pat

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.
