^^^ It's a 3/8" drive with a round head. The number stamped is 45170
I did a couple searches and it looks like a kit would be around $20 shipped. I haven't looked at youtube yet...but I will.

I have a snap-ring pliers in the garage that I'm sure I will need for this.
The video is exactly the ratchet I have. Thanks!

The tube of super lube synthetic grease will run you around $10 at a parts store. It's dielectric, so serves well when working with wiring connections.
Another guy who really got into it, tearing apart the pawl unit as well. Interesting to see how they're assembled.

I took mine apart this am and cleaned the whole thing up good of dirt. Tried again to free up the ball-bearing....can't push it in at all. I wonder if the spring behind it broke?
Getting that circlip back in was tricky. Looking online for a repair kit, I don't think I want to spend that much to fix it. I have a few other brand ratchets that work fine...and the S-K is not perfect on the handle portion.

You can run but you cannot hide.
I found a 10mm socket. See it hiding bottom right in the pic.

So that's where the clicking sound came from...LOL!
Steve, did you try freeing the ball bearing with a vise? I'm thinking probably worn out of round though. Kit sounds $pendy? Maybe you'd rather buy a new one?  From the SK site...unfortunately sold out.. Will they become available again since the Chinese bought SK? Doubtful...https://sktools.com/products/3-8-drive-dt80-ratchet

^^^ I tried that just now...it didn't move it.
This pic shows how it's recessed below the level of the flat surface. I tried to pick at it with a sharp blade to turn it. It turns, but that's it.

Yep..spring collapsed, most likely. Damn. Looks like the kit is your best option. If it was mine, I'd go the kit..but I'm not you. Those round knurled handles just feel good to me...
(edit) evidently the aftermarket kits will mean a black anvil, but no biggie as far as I'm concerned. Not perfect on the handle section? If knurling is rusty, some wire brush time will take care of that.
