this is a Stanley ratchet you see the number right there it's 3 8 of an inch let's just
take it apart and put it back in place that's a request I had for some people on another video
now this one are T10 T10 Torx so we can tell it's a d10 socket perhaps if you don't have
T10 you may try with a nylon k a small one but be careful because these are very easy to strip
so if you feel actually they also the screw have blue Loctite on them so if you feel in
the head here it's really shallow is not deep so you don't grab enough with your torques so
really good idea to try with the Torx just keep it with Force downwards press on it like this
downwards so you don't jump those splines and then try to slowly rotate also clean with
alcohol first because you may have grease in there that's going to strip it for sure
so make sure it's really really clean and I already did remove mines that's why it's easy
but be careful because if you strip them then obviously you won't be able to do anything else
when you put these screws back in place make sure you clean the threads of the screws and all on
the plate where they attach so you don't have any kind of grease on those strands again very
important you see I'm not going to remove the screws I'm just going to drop the bottom plate
basically that screws attach here so again when you put back in place make sure you clean these
holes with alcohol very important so let's just drop these things LK before you drop it on your
table there is two tiny bearing balls very small ones they are going to roll and drop
on your floor and you are never going to find them again so use maybe a cup or something or
a dish a dish is a good idea so I'm going to hopefully not drop them on the floor
and I'm going to obviously show you how to put this thing back in place as well so
this is just the um if you want the casing it's just metal and the screws are there
so you can actually this point push them back if you want to remove them from there it's uh
coated with a blue Loctite and never use red Loctite is too strong only blue one so again
make sure you clean these threads maybe you want to use again I don't know is you don't have to
really tighten them that strum back in place let's see now this is one of my bearing balls
again don't let it uh run away from you and there is the second one here
it's really not difficult to put this thing back in place I've seen people uh asking me for this
detail now here's how it goes you have this piece this is the metal part that locks that has splines
and that sits against the the splines on the rotating thing so that's how it sits in there and
notice this pla might this one is plastic actually on mine I'm not sure why some people say there
was metal but look how it touched inside you have a small spring that goes inside this hole
and what's important is that this spring has a hook and that this hook it sits at the bottom
here so it goes you see the spring it's in there but the hook runs actually inside this cut here
into the plastic and there is hook that goes up so make sure you do not put it the other way
so it has to stay like this and again if I push downwards you see it comes out from this cut here
that's how the Springs has to stay also this piece has a square at the top and this square is going
to match if I would find it one day the switch so the switch logs into this square and it's actually
sitting flush like this when it locks just find the right position to lock it
and it actually rotates this thing so that the switch is going to rotate this piece but
it has to lock with the two squares against each other so um when we put it back in place
what you want to do is grab this piece it has two holes where the spring can go it doesn't
matter which side you use either this side or the other flip it like this but it has to be
like this against the splines right so not not like this okay so that's pretty logical it has
to stay much less fine so we are going to insert this whole part of the spring into either hole
again doesn't matter which side so let's put it on this one so make sure you insert it in there
and perhaps a good idea just to make sure this piece where the hook stays it's not moving away
just just keep it in the center that's okay don't worry much so uh what we are going to do to put
this thing back in place we are going to grab the switch and put it from the bottom of the case with
the tip and look at the position the hole it's towards you we are going just to insert the tip
like that so if you want on the from the bottom up I'm going to insert it bring the tip like this
and the switch stays like that it cannot come out from there it's basically sitting in there
it's not going to drop now maybe it's easier to just keep it Center because you need to match
the squares here that square so maybe just keep it Center is not a big deal but uh and now let's
just put it down and I'm going to flip this thing keep them together flip with the square
make sure the spring stays in there you don't need to push it at this moment but just flip it
like this keep them together and we are going to just drop it against the switch so it has
its own this piece has its own cut it's like a round here that's its place and then I'm going
to just uh the other piece stays in there the metal piece by the spring and then I'm going to
put a bit of pressure here just like that put some pressure and then rotate the switch from the other
side so put some pressure and rotate the switch until the two squares engage you will feel it as
snap so right now if it did snap in place if I'm looking from from behind again I'll tell you that
the plastic piece is kind of just recessed a little bit it's sitting it's sitting lower
here than here so this is just slightly high that's its position and if I would rotate the
switch with my other hand you'll see that this part would also rotate at the same time this
metal piece stays hooked with the spring so careful not to drop it from there okay
so it stays remember it's it's hooked into that spring so I will just keep it like this
maybe put it at the center it's easier a bit and I'm going to drop the other part
from the bottom with the switch at the top so just drop it maybe put it against
the metal corresponding piece with spline just press against that thing it's going to come in
there it's not a problem basically that spring it's it's pushing the silver the silver piece
against the other piece so it's just contacting between them and you can in fact you can push
this this piece a little bit back because of that spec but it doesn't matter so if you keep
all this in place keep the I will call this the plastic piece with some pressure so it doesn't
disengage but if you move the switch if I'm moving the switch this is the movement actually
you notice the rotation here too it doesn't matter the uh the angle of this because this at any
moment so it's just like that now the last part is the two metal bars and we are bars did I say bar
the two metal ball balls they are going to sit into these two hole in the plastic piece and on
the other side they are going to actually switch between the holes in fact the right one of the
balls is going to jump from there to there to lock the switch the other bar ball is going to jump
from there to there when the switch is locking on the other side that's nothing to worry about
my throat uh maybe I would suggest put the switch in the center so just Center the switch make sure
the squares inside are still engaged right that's that's just the important part make
sure it's still engaged with this plastic piece so it's still moving it so put the plastic piece
and the switch in the center with the two ball aligned like this so oops it moves by itself
so put it just the two holes for the bus in the center put the two balls in the plastic
uh holes so actually in the holes in the plastic base careful so you don't drop them because
as I tell I was telling you um that's not good news sometimes and then just drop this
it has only one position again the two the four holes go against the bus right sorry so the four
holes are underneath just drop it don't worry about the balls at this point and then what
you want to do is hip somehow a bit of pressure on the plate like this just keep some pressure
you have to pin this so I'm keeping pressure and just move the switch and you will see at
some point the ball balls will lock will engage properly like this I think you'll perhaps you
didn't hear that uh snap but actually the balls it doesn't matter as long as you put them in
those two holes and you keep the back plate with your finger when you are going to move
the switch the balls will move to their correct location there is nothing to worry about them
they will make that click click that's the balls when they actually move between
the four holes that were in there the balls are going to move into the holes by themselves
there's nothing to worry about them so you just uh uh is is doing it by itself
and the last part obviously drop the screws again don't forget the screws come from the top
and remember those suggestions I will let you figure out what you want to grease inside
uh I would say perhaps put some grease on the splines not too much grease but I have to say that
maybe it's good not to use a grease that it's too good why because
agrees that is too good you notice I didn't really tighten them hard down just just
enough so the the screws are just staying there maybe you check them once in a while
um so maybe use this is the grease I prefer to use because the silicone grease it's not exactly the
best lubricant but it's still a grease if you put a grease that it's too good maybe one day you are
going to force too much on it and those splines are going to jump against each other because the
grease actually is reducing also friction and the two splines that are sitting against each other
are using actually friction to stay against each other if the friction is lowered by your grease
maybe they are going to jump and strip strip the splines so it's up to you what grease you
want to use just keep that in mind and I also I prefer also to push the button a little bit and
push the back of the ball and put a small droplet of engine oil usually on this bar this one is the
part that rusts oftentimes and it's hard to remove it from there you know so that's how it goes um
I think it's a good ratchet I was saying this in another video if you have this model maybe Stanley
is did change some parts inside with some years but it's a good 3 8 of an inch ratchet you see
the handle is actually quite quite small I don't have big hands so it's very easy to handle around
I'm using it up to 14 millimeter bolts no more 15 millimeter bolts I will put a half inch ratchet
or a breaker bar so don't force too much it's not that the strongest ratchet out there but for the
price it's a great great option in my opinion um it's it's it has a way to it it's not too heavy
it's well balanced in hand as well and it's just easy to work around with it but a little
bit of maintenance is going to make it last even longer and also I've heard the sockets I
never had problems with the sockets but people on internet say the sockets from style they are also
very very good quality perhaps even better than the ratchet itself all right thanks for watching
