I wanted to tell you how I thought I broke my favorite Craftsman 43772 ratchet. I hit the button to release to remove a short extension and suddenly the entire pawl assembly popped out. I couldn't figure out how to put it back in. I almost threw the ratchet away in disgust, but something made me hang onto it. That was almost two months ago. I've been using my cheap ratchet instead.
Then I came across your video. Popped it right back in! I got my favorite ratchet back!
Like almost everything in my life, I was overthinking it. Got a lot of gratitude for you and this video! Thanks!
Edited to let you know, I also know a lot more about how it works. So thanks again!
Cool story. Glad it could be of some help👍
I like the art work on the thumb wheel!
Yeah it sure does stand out👍
ALL of your videos are educational AND entertaining 👍🏻👍🏻
Much appreciated man👍
Got this, 1/4 and 1/2. Also has the sockets (imperial and metric) and metal boxes that fit with them. In excellent condition ans still the rachet I use but I'm a light weekend user.
Cool. Never seen the set before 👍
@@snapringchronicles3020 Got them since so long I don't remember if it was sold as a kit or not. I suspect yes because of the metal casings that were definatly sold with the rachet, sockets or kit.
This one is more complicated then it looks! Great stuff!!!!!!
Yeah it looks like they were still trying back then
Interesting. First time I've seen these. Thanks for the share.
Hey thank you for stopping by 👍
I always enjoy your videos. They are very informative. I have some of my Dad's Craftsman ratchets. They're from the 70's and 80's. They are all stamped "made in U.S.A" . Some even have the patent number (s) stamped In the tool as well.
Those should serve you well for many years to come👍
Look on Google Images, there's one still in the package and it says "MADE IN U.S.A."..............A little digging around seems to indicate it was made by Stanley.
Hey many thanks for that info, I saw the pictures👍...Maybe some of the parts were USA and they went with “Made In USA “? I heard Stanley was getting in trouble back then marking stuff as USA when to call it USA would be a stretch 🤔
@@snapringchronicles3020 I think I'm always somewhat suspicious when they don't stamp it right in the metal.
I have a set of 43772 models as my everyday use one. I guess I bought the sockets and ratchets in early 1980's...
Wow good to hear that they’ve lasted with use👍
I have the same model in 1/4 drive. with a matching breaker bar.
Hey that’s cool👍
I also have the 1/4”. It does it’s thing. But I don’t use it much because I don’t want to bang it up.
i think this one might be usa made... the EE stamp was on sockets made in usa...
This ratchet is Taiwanese though, sourced by Stanley based on the the EE oem code.
If a Craftsman tool is American made it will say USA on it.
EE= Stanley ( mostly but not always made in Taiwan, these definitely are though )
I have been interested in seeing what they're all about, but since they're Stanley sourced Taiwanese ratchets I'm not going to buy one.
Interesting because Raw Bacon pointed out a photo online of one in the original packaging and the packaging says “Made In USA”?
@@snapringchronicles3020
That may be for the sockets and accessories, because the common tri wing ratchets came in sets with American made sockets just like the NOS master mechanic set I got.
The packaging will say Made in USA with clarification on the back about the ratchets.
The sockets bits wrenches and extensions are all made here but the tri wing ratchets weren't and I gave the ratchets away.

There is a thread on Garage Journal that says EE is Taiwan made, 1982-91

Yes, member Lauver really did his research.
There was also gearwolf here on TH-cam with the Craftsman USA Ratchet history project.
there was one of these on ebay a few weeks ago..
Yeah they turn up from time to time most times too expensive
I just got one of these but it's a 3/8. Nice looking tool only it has a lot of play in it, after you wind it you have to turn it about 5 degrees before any torque is applied. Is this the same with yours?
Yes I think I know what you are saying. It’s like when you are ratcheting and you got to tighten or loosen there is some take up before there is a solid engagement. Yup this one too
@@snapringchronicles3020 Yes that's it. At least it's not because it's worn out. Thanks.
