AirCraft Ratchet Pawl For Air Ratchet Wrench AT0016-35
At a Glance: Replacement ratchet pawl that locks into the toothed ring/ratchet bracket to deliver positive drive and dependable ratcheting action.
This little chunk of steel is where “grip” becomes “go”. The AirCraft Ratchet Pawl is a replacement engagement component used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assembly to bite into the ratchet teeth and transmit torque in the selected direction. When a pawl wears, chips, or rounds off at the working edges, you’ll often feel slipping under load, inconsistent engagement, or a ratchet that sounds rough and loses its confidence. Replacing the pawl restores crisp tooth contact, helping the mechanism drive cleanly, ratchet smoothly, and hold under load the way it should.
The pawl is designed to engage and release repeatedly, thousands of times. A clean engagement surface improves torque transfer, reduces skipping, and helps protect the mating ratchet ring/gear teeth from damage caused by partial engagement.
Features
- Precision engagement profile Designed to lock into the ratchet teeth for positive drive.
- Threaded mounting hole Allows secure fitment within the ratchet mechanism assembly.
- Durable metal construction Built to handle repeated impact loading and cycling.
- Service replacement part Ideal for restoring performance during ratchet head repairs.
Benefits
- Restores crisp engagement: Helps eliminate skipping and improves the “positive” feel under load.
- Improves reliability: Consistent tooth contact supports dependable drive in the selected direction.
- Protects mating parts: Proper engagement reduces wear on the ratchet ring/bracket teeth.
Extra Information
- Used in the ratchet head/drive mechanism of the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assembly.
- Replace the pawl if edges are rounded, chipped, cracked, or if the tool slips under load.
- Inspect the mating ratchet ring/teeth at the same time—worn teeth can quickly damage a new pawl.
- If a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm the exact part number, position and associated hardware.
Pro Tip
- Apply a thin, clean layer of suitable grease to the pawl contact area and ratchet teeth. Too much grease attracts grit—thin and clean gives the best engagement and longest life.
