Ratchet failing and wearing

[JesseCountertops]

I would like to know why the teeth on the ratchet mechanism on my 2200 routers (I have 2) keep wearing down or kind of rounding over. It's not full of dust and it's always the loosening direction. It's already happening to my newest one and it's only like 3 weeks old. Just wish they would've kept the option to just use 2 wrenches like the old ones or the 1400, extremely frustrating. I need to use my routers a lot but the thing that's supposed to make changing bits faster is making it WAY slower.

Hi, welcome to the fog, this has been a problem mention before seems to be a dust problem creating the gear to slip or bind. https://festoolownersgroup.com/thre...g-sticky-ratchet-mechanism.44616/#post-496154

That wasnt a great reply, the catch must be worn or slipping
