Waiting for this ratchet to go on sale and then this would be a great mod. Thanks for putting in the work.

There are 2 washers in the back and if you take one out it works way better. I have never had it skip or anything and it’s way less backdrag. Like close to the Koken. Been using it for like 3 months and had no problems. I pretty much grab it whenever I want a small 3/8. Kind of been a little rougher than usual to test it out when I probably should have used a bigger ratchet

by switching to the tekton internals, does it improve the backdrag by a lot? TIA

Would this MOD and kit work with the G1 Icon non flex head low profile 1/4” ratchet?

if i bought a half inch and a 3/8s inch icon ratchet, do you thing the heads would swap inbetween the two? Im wantin a long 3/8s and a shorter half inch

Have you experienced any weird locking when ratcheting. My switch seems to slightly slip toward the center causing the gear to lock for a moment. Kind of annoying.

Would this work on a Pittsburgh ratchet?

You think this will work on the g2 ratchets?
