Post by: amertrac on December 15, 2011, 08:52:39 AM
when you buy a craftsman rebuild kit does the dirrectional switch come with the kit. they want a model no. but we don't have one . this ratchet was included in the tool set i bought my first mechanic jpb in the real early 50s the ratchet works good just the handle or switch is broken.bob w.

Yes, the selector comes in the kit.

Nope, I don't have a kit for 1/2" drive. Bonneyman might.

Bob, that ratchet first appeared in the 1957 catalogue as model 4497. The repair kit was 4498.

I don't have a selector switch for you, but I'm sure you'll find one quickly.

Let me go see if I have a baby rattle selector knob in 1/2".

Yeah, I have one. It's not a "D"- post, so if your pawl is a "D"- post you'd have to modify this one. But it's yours if you want it.
