Craftsman 3/8" Pro Air Ratchet Rapid Reverse 19888 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

on the end where the socket goes there a fap that swings back and forth when you operate it somethimes it will stick to one side you need to peck it on the side and it will free up and run

All air ratchets have an exhaust. Air in must go somewhere and it will go out the exhaust. Some exit beside the air inlet & some have the air exit out the side of the handle. If the air is not coming out of a defined air orifice, then you may have a worn out gasket where the handle meets the head or you may have a cracked handle. The handle unscrews but you must hold the head in a vise while you use a wrench or adjustable wrench to grip the end of the handle to unscrew it for inspecting the internals.

The ratchet needs repair. I would check the throttle lever valve inside. Either the spring inside or the valve o-ring are worn out.

sounds like the trigger is gooed up from water and **** from the compressor
if you can pull trigger apart and clean it problem probably be resolved

Blue Point® is kinda-sorta a Division of Snap-On® Tools, however being labeled "Blue Point", Snap-On only gives them a 90 day to one year warranty, so Snap-On will not help you there. Since you got them at an auction, they may be frozen up as you suggested. I would place both the ratchets in ATF (Transmission Fluid) for a week or so and then try the air line to them again. Transmission fluid does wonders. We used to use it to clean our hands at Dealerships in the Winter to keep our hands from cracking and bleeding. It will loosen up most everything. In fact that's what I currently use in ALL of my air tools as the "few drops of oil" they suggest, before use. If they don't start working after a long soak, then to be cost effective to you, I would find a Harbor Freight® or another such store and buy a new one for as low as $15.99.

I hope this helps you.

add a few drops of marvel mystrey oil to the ail line opening to clean it out and try it again

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Misc to correct category. By 'stride wire', do you mean just short across the switch? Yes you can but really you need to fix the problem. You know these things can blow up and spray shrapnel 30 feet? Google Craftsman (model) parts You may have a short in the motor, in which case, shorting it out won't fix it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Craftsman+Air+Compressor.+I+have+to+press+the+reset+button+on+it

regulator is bad, or tank is not low pressure. you could return it for another one.

capacitor weak --motor drawing to many amps if using extension cord[s] not correct or to far from source and causing to much voltage drop -motor faling--compressor failing

question moved from Television and Video category. It is a well documented issue. https://fix-my-compressor.com/33-gal-craftsman-compressor-keeps-tripping-the-breaker/ Lots more here https://www.google.com/search?q=33+Gallon+Craftsman+compressor+it+runs+for+about+20-30+seconds+and+trips+breaker ..

That model number only shows in this post. I don't see how a compressor can be 'oil-less', the friction and pressure is enormous! https://www.google.com/search?q=6.5+HP+oil-less+60-GAL+MOTOR+%22K56A28B23%22 ..

is the plunger sticking below the housing . if so push it back in with a screw driver

Craftsman Electric Stapler Model #193.684231 aka 9-68423. (Came out in 1984) Can take up to 5 different size staples depending on your project. One feature is the "dual power" knob at the top which allows you to use "HI" or "Low" impact depending on the size staple used. Sorry about the blurry pictures, they are sharp on my computer. Try Googling the model number or looking on EBay. "No. 6" means "Heavy Duty Wide Crown .417 size."

I have 351.181720 and the driver does not return. I've had this for years but it has not seen extremely hard use (probably less than 500 brads). Suggestions. [email protected]

Either the compressor or the motor is defective.

Either the unloader valve on the pressure switch is bad or the extension cord is too long or the start capacitor is weak. When the tank is full, unplug and try to turn by hand a few turns. Air should come out the unloader valve drain fitting.

replace the faulty poppet valves in the compressor heads
