The
ratchets used by S/R are designed for simplicity of maintenance,
as well as strength and durability. We make Ratchet Renewal
Kits in four sizes to permit those whose ratchets have become
worn or damaged to renew the ratchet and extend the working
life of the tool.
The
procedure has three sections: removal of worn components,
cleaning, and lubrication and installation of the new components.
Each step of this procedure is written, and shown with a
small image. To see a large version of the image, simply
