    This item needed a real good cleaning, and the retainer clip was not seated property after taken apart and cleaning oiling and reinstalling the retainer clip it took all most all the end play out of the drive which help this old well used ratchet should last a while longer now craftsman states to use their oil or a 30 w motor oil on their ratches I just use the 3-n- 1 oil on all my ratches I lost a lot of my good ratches and tools somebody borrow them and didn't bring them back!

    An oldie but a goodie. Has few marks but no issues. What it does have is that sweet sound and feel of a true quality ratchet, something this series is noted for. This one does not disappoint. Ship cost very fair. Seller did their job in fine fashion. Thanx Much, KJ PS - The craftsman 1/2" u-jnt. was a bonus. Lol
