The last time I called Proto I got a very rude woman on the line. She would not send me a kit and told me there was plenty of kits for sale on the internet. I have about 3 kits for every ratchet they sell. I can't remember the name of the company I bought them from, but they were about $13.00 per kit for the 1/2 inch drive Proto ratchet. Most Proto ratchets I have come across only need a good cleaning. I went to my local nut & bolt store and bought packs of screws to replace the worn out / buggered up side cover screws on the pear head models. 100 screws to the pack for about $6.00 and I am trying to find a seller of the conical springs for the pear head models. At last count I had 71 Proto pear head ratchets. I also have Plomb, Urrea, Armstrong and a bunch of import Proto knockoffs. It's no wonder my wife, my kid, my granddaughter, the doctors and the Judge says I am crazy.
