One of my favorite go to tools is my ratchet wrenches, unfortunately I've noticed over the years that they are becoming more and more difficult to switch direction with, to the point that now I need to turn some in the opposite direction before flipping the lever. Some of them (the troubled ones, I believe) have seen frequent cleanings with WD40/Triflow/LiquidWrench depending what I have on hand after contamination with brake fluid or other potentially nasty fluids. They don't feel gritty and they rotate smoothly, just becoming more difficult to switch.
Right now I'm soaking two trouble makers in a cap full of CLP as I had good results with that on some off brand ratchet wrenches before. Any better ideas? They APPEAR to be non-serviceable though I don't know for sure.
