1/2-Inch Square Drive Repair Kit with Replacement Components

Brief Overview

This repair kit contains all essential internal components needed to restore or maintain 1/2-inch square drive ratchets and socket tools.

• Fastening Hardware — Two precision screws for secure assembly
• Detent Ball — Hardened steel ball that maintains proper selector engagement and prevents unwanted shifting

• Pawl Assembly — L-shaped metal selector/locking piece for drive mechanism engagement
• Cam/Ratchet Piece — Machined component with grooved engagement surface for controlled ratchet action

Why Distributors Choose This Kit

Repair Revenue Stream: Stock this kit to capture margin on tool repairs—many workshops prefer maintaining existing tools rather than replacing them outright.

Bulk Order Advantage: Purchase in volume to reduce per-unit cost while meeting consistent customer demand for replacement parts.

Professional-Grade Quality: All components are precision-machined steel with appropriate finishes—not stamped or substandard substitutes. This ensures repairs last and maintain your reputation.

Cross-Sell Opportunity: Tools don't fail in isolation. Customers needing 1/2-inch drive repairs often manage comparable 1/4-inch tools and will appreciate knowing you stock both sizes.
