My much loved SEARS Made in the USA 1/2" ratchet gave up the ghost last night. So wifey takes it into SEARS today and no parts are available to fix it. They offered a made in China one in exchange.

What a drag. It was ag reat ratchet and well made - never let me down. It was model 44975 - an old but a goody.

I'm keeping it rather than exchanging it. If anyone ever runs into parts for it let me know. I'll send ya a lobster.
