Customer photo review of Stanley Proto J5449RK 1/2 in. Drive Ratchet Repair Kit for J5449

Very good, OEM or at least looks like it, I didn't have any problem with the components until I got to the selector switch (DON'T DO SELECTOR SWITCH UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO!)I almost didn't do it because this part is not screwed on but instead uses a chisel or ball peen to form the top over onto the switch, but I decided that I would since my old one had some rust on it. REGRETTED IT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS! It is extremely difficult to get the new selector switch pressed/ peened on perfectly, it doesn't use ball bearings or a notch like some other selector switches, and rely entirely on being precisely peened onto the shaft from the selector on the back side if it is slightly too tight you won't be able to move it with your thumb, too loose and it will go to the center position and lock the ratchet both directions, it's not impossible and I got mine to work well but it was 4 minutes for the rest of the work and 45 minutes to get the selector operating to my satisfaction, still ended up with some cosmetic damage to the selector from messing around with it so much, should have just left the original one on.

The parts fit perfectly in my Proto 5450 long handle ratchet. Works good as new. The lever takes a bit of planning on staking it but I put a 1/2 bolt with a washer on a vise, a c-clamp with a spacer under the ratchet handle and was able to ball-peen hammer it to stake the switch lever in evenly and permanently.

I needed an extra 1/2 ratchet, but the only one I had was an old Armstrong from the 1950’s that had the female socket. I had a couple of the old female socket Armstrongs, so I decided try this rebuild kit to convert it over to male. It worked perfectly.

My 5449 is a hand-me-down, and I've had/used it since the early 80s. After decades of use, it slipped a few times on some high-torque, suspension work. I thought a tooth had broken on the anvil/drive wheel, but I opened it up and only found minor wear/rounding on the gear-teeth and pawl edges.I had no idea these repair kits were even available -- especially for a ratchet that is ~50 years old, but it turns out Stanley-Proto still makes a current version of the 5449, as well as repair kits. I waffled a bit before buying the kit, because for about $15 more, I could have bought a brand-new (j)5449. However, this is literally my favorite tool - mainly because it has tremendous nostalgic value for me, so I opted to rebuild it.This kit has everything you need to completely rebuild the ratchet -even the selector lever assembly. You'll need to supply whatever lube you prefer - I'm old-school, so I use Permatex engine assembly lube, where some may prefer synthetic grease.Major differences when compared to my older 5449 (see attached pic):1) The drive wheel insertion shank (drive square you put a socket onto) is ~1/8" longer than the original.2) The retention ball-bearing is ~1/8" further away from the face of the drive anvil.3) There are some height/thickness/cambering variances on the drive anvil, but they only affect performance in respect to the insertion-shank differences above -- The wheel fits perfectly into the body of the ratchet.4) The cover-plate screws come pre-brushed with a loctite-type material, where the original screws had serrated, conical washers for retention5) Kit is not available in the original chrome or polished finishesOverall, this was a great purchase -- Don't hesitate to buy this kit.**Btw: ignore the wholly-inaccurate review from the dude who tried to use this on an obviously incorrect ratchet, and even posted evidence pics.Post-1st-use update: Due to the retention ball position and shaft-length variances I outlined above, ALL of my sockets, extensions, and adapters sit over 1/8" away from the anvil-wheel face (Most are older Proto, S-K Wayne, and Truecraft). I added a pic.I'm NOT a mechanical engineer, but I have some common sense: Although this rebuild kit is STOUT, and will likely outlive me -- a longer drive shank with attachments sitting farther away from the base decreases torsional shear strength. For my tools, this design also adds some annoying slop that was previously almost zero -If it were designed specifically for the older 5449 and not multiple ratchets, I'd probably change my rating to 3 stars because of this slop/fitment issue. However... it has still "resurrected" my favorite ratchet.A side-note: Do yourself and your ratchet a favor - Swap in your trusty breaker-bar for higher-torque work.

Just what was needed to fix a slipping no name 1/2" ratchet. My dad has a 1/2" ratchet with a handle that slides to extend about an extra 6" and the gear started to slip after years of use. Took a chance on this kit and it worked perfectly. The screws were a little longer, so I used the original screws to put it back together. It works like new and we haven't had any problems with it at all.

buy this game repair wondering if it serves to model my tool (5449p), which was actually responding amazon for this model tool, this is false "DOES NOT WORK" and is missing a piece. This had never happened and it is shameful to happen and more involving the use or purpose of this purchase.waiting I leave this situation is remedied, thanks

These parts did not fit my ratchet. They do not match the photograph in the advertisement and there was no way to check the part numbers against the ratchet model number to be sure if they would fit. It was a crap shoot to order them and hope they would fit. they did not. I do not know how to return them. They are of no use to me.

Stanley Proto J5449RK 1/2 in. Drive Ratchet Repair Kit for J5449

This repair kit is almost the cost of a cheap china made 1/2 ratchet, but if you work with your own tools and do so for a living you get attached to them. My old Stanley Proto ratchet has had a lifetime of use and abuse from me. It requires a kit like this not from abuse but just every day use. Once again I brought my old Stanley back to life to again serve it purpose.Not for everybody but if you own and appreciate the value of the old craftsmanship tools you will want this kit to rebuild it with.

Carson 5/5

Stanley Proto J5449RK 1/2 in. Drive Ratchet Repair Kit for J5449

I was afraid that, with Stanley's recent history of betrayal of American workers and their pimping for Chinese manufacturing, that this repair kit would be garbage, but it seems equal to the OEM Proto parts in my 1/2" drive Proto Professional ratchet. I carefully compared each piece and these are the real deal, at least for now. The metallurgy seems identical as does the fit and finish. I hope that doesn't change anytime soon.
