Description

These are 3/8″ drive kits that are sized to fit 1/4″ drive sized handles. They are the type of cartridge where the whole thing is inserted button first from the drive side of the handle and then held in place with a retaining ring on the drive side. See photos above for how this assembly works (the ratchet handle is not included in this listing). You can also visit my store where I have some handles listed that already have these kits installed in them and you can see how they look installed. They are nice quality and will fit older Blackhawk 1/4″ ratchets and other makers using this cartridge design. Unfortunately I don’t know for sure who the maker is, but I suspect its New Britain as they made ratchets for many other manufactures around this time. These parts came from an old tool store liquidation and they had all kinds of New Britain & Blackhawk tools and unlabeled bulk packed parts. Please review the following dimensions and compare them to your ratchet in order to determine if this kit will work with your particular ratchet handle:

The retaining ring opening is 3/4″ (the bore size the cartridge and retaining ring must fit through)
Diameter of the inner cartridge is .6410″ (the part that goes inside the ring of teeth in the handle)
Diameter of the shoulder is .7010″ (the widest part that the retaining ring seats against)
Height of the cartridge is .3480″ (the thickness from the top of the shoulder on the button to the bottom of the shoulder on the drive, the part that must fit within the ratchet handle and still leave the retaining ring groove accessible)
 
Finally, how many teeth are required. There are two kits, one where there are 9 teeth on the pawl and they fit 45 tooth ratchet handles. This listing is for the 9 tooth/45 tooth handle. I have another listing for the 12 tooth 60 tooth handle.
