I have an old Wright N-820, 1″ drive ratchet. The pawl is worn out and it will not hold in place when in use. I opened it and hoped to flip the pawl over to an unworn tip. It didn’t work so well.
I need a renewal kit. I looked on Amazon, eBay, Google (11 pages), Wright tools site no luck.
I’m guessing that I may have to machine a new piece.
Picture 3187 – you can see the pawl in the flipped over position.
Picture 3179 – you can see the ratchet.
Picture 3190 – you can see the worn tip,
Thanks DaveS
The obvious question is, have you contacted Wright directly? That is the likely place to start.
I have spoken to Wright tool distributors. They were no help. I can’t imagine any other outcome by contacting someone at corporate hq. I’m in west africa at the moment. I’ll have to wait until I get back to the states.
