This is a serious post, but I'm willing to bet some of the comments will be off color. I have over 500 ratchets and have seen thousands, and some of them were missing balls. However, none except the two I'm showing had the hole all the way through the drive. Obviously the ratchet cannot have a ball if the hole is all the way through. So, is such a ratchet attached to something else and pinned to that unit with a roll pin or whatever? The ratchets shown are the 3/4" drive Walden I just received which is designed to be attached to something and an SK 1/2" drive I have had in my junk draw for some years not knowing what to do with it. The holes in both are 1/4", comments.
