1/4" Drive – SREF170
3/8" Drive – MREF250

How do I choose the correct Britool extendable flex-head ratchet repair kit?
The correct repair kit should be selected by checking the part reference marked on your ratchet, rather than simply matching the appearance or drive size. For example, the 1/4" SREF170, 3/8" MREF250 and 1/2" LREF350 each require their corresponding repair kit. If you are unsure, provide the ratchet part number before ordering so compatibility can be confirmed.
What is the Britool Hallmark extendable flex-head ratchet repair kit used for?
The Britool Hallmark service repair kit is designed to maintain and service the ratchet mechanism in the compatible extendable flex-head ratchet. Replacing the relevant service components can help restore smooth operation and extend the useful working life of the tool, making it a cost-effective alternative to replacing the complete ratchet where appropriate.
Will these repair kits fit other Britool ratchets?
No. These are model-specific Britool Hallmark repair kits designed exclusively for the listed extendable flex-head ratchets. They will not fit other Britool ratchet models, including ratchets with the same square drive size, and should not be selected based solely on whether your ratchet is 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" drive.
Are Britool Hallmark ratchet repair kits covered by the manufacturer's warranty?
The Britool Hallmark extendable flex-head ratchet repair kits are classed as consumable service items and are not covered by the manufacturer's full tool warranty. The Hallmark guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship when the tool is used for its intended purpose, but excludes fair wear and tear, moving components such as ratchet mechanisms and consumable items including repair kits.
Can I check compatibility before ordering a Britool Hallmark ratchet repair kit?
Yes. If you are unsure which Britool Hallmark ratchet repair kit you need, check the part reference stamped or marked on your ratchet first. The compatible models are SREF170 for 1/4" drive, MREF250 for 3/8" drive and LREF350 for 1/2" drive. If the model number cannot be identified, please contact us with the ratchet part number and a clear photograph before purchasing to help avoid ordering an incorrect repair kit.
