Review on Wright Tool Drive Tooth Ratchet by Jason Sisawang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Gearbox problems

UPDATE: After reopening and lubricating with super lube, the gearbox runs much better. It's not very smooth, but it works well enough .when I first got the ratchet it got stuck and stuck when I tried to use it.I thought maybe it would wear out but a few hundred turns didn't seem to change.There was a lot of headwind. I've tried opening the ratchet and spraying some lube which seems to help but not for long the detent ball isn't in the center of the anvil I thought mine might be bad but you can at the time of writing literally see in the picture on this site I've also seen it in Wright's catalog This may have something to do with it being stuck as the bushings I was using were sliding down and it was sweating careful not to turn the mechanism. However, the finish and contour are appealing. I have the 3/8 and 1/2 double pawl versions of this ratchet and they don't have the problems mentioned.

Pros
  • Has 45 teeth, a pawl and 3/4" arc
Cons
  • Very expensive
