Previously, the only time I’ve ever seen these ratchets go on sale was during a “friends & family” type 10%-off everything sale.

Has the 3/8 been discontinued ? Tried to order and order was canceled by Sears.
Stuart
That’s odd. I highly doubt that the 3/8″ version has been discontinued. Right now it still shows to be available for shipping with no in-store availability.
I would think that either supplies are running low due to high sales, or it could be that existing stock has been recalled for a quality control check/reevaluation.
On the GarageJournal forum, a few people mentioned an issue with their 3/8″ ratchets, similar to what I encountered with a bad sample during review. Danaher/Craftsman did implement a new process check a few months ago, so new stock shouldn’t be affected.
Or it could be that supplies are on the way to local stores, temporarily depleting warehouse inventory.
You could try placing another order for the 3/8″ drive ratchet. If it still doesn’t work, call customer service to see what they can do for you.

Is the sale over ? Tried to order today and the regular price came up.
Stuart
Bob, it looks like the sale has expired, I’m seeing the full prices as well.

code USA doesn’t seem to be working either
