AirCraft Steel Ball for Air Ratchet Wrench 3/8" (AT0015-40) for Model AT0015
At a Glance: OEM-fit hardened steel detent ball for the AirCraft AT0015 3/8" air ratchet wrench, used to create positive “click” positioning in the mechanism.
The AirCraft AT0015-40 steel ball is a replacement hardened ball used in the AirCraft AT0015 3/8" air ratchet wrench assembly. Steel balls are commonly used as detent elements—working together with a spring and a mating groove/seat—to provide a crisp “click” and hold a component securely in position. If the ball is missing, worn, or damaged, the tool may feel sloppy, fail to hold position, or lose its positive indexing. Replacing the AT0015-40 steel ball helps restore firm, reliable engagement after servicing.
It acts as a detent element, typically working with a spring to locate and hold parts in defined positions for consistent operation.
Features
- Hardened steel construction Designed for durability and long service life.
- OEM-fit replacement Correct fit for the AirCraft AT0015 mechanism.
- Precision detent action Helps maintain crisp, positive positioning.
Benefits
- Restores positive indexing: Improves “click” feel and holding power in the mechanism.
- Improves reliability: Helps prevent unwanted movement or loss of position.
- Ideal for servicing: A key small part often replaced during ratchet head rebuilds.
Extra Information
- Compatibility: AirCraft AT0015 Air Ratchet Wrench 3/8" (spare part code: AT0015-40).
- Common reasons to replace: Ball is missing, flattened, corroded, or no longer provides smooth detent action.
- Service note: Detent balls are small—assemble over a tray and apply a small amount of grease to hold the ball in place during reassembly.
Pro Tip
- If the detent action still feels weak after replacing the ball, replace the matching spring as well—detents rely on the ball + spring working together.
