I have plenty of ratchets that work fine, and I do that to them from time to time. My dad does it to his old (purchased in the early '70s) ratchets and they're still holding up...

Deburrinbg your block, Etc. is an old,accepted right of passage when building a high performance engine,V-8 guys have been doing it since the beginning of time.It also removes stress risers that form from vibration and heat cycling,leading to cracks.Not to mention it makes the thing look good when painted.Carbide burr on a die grinder works well for me,requires practice,eventually this skill will lead to porting heads.

Ditto. When the impact cant handle it (think honda crank pulley bolts and axle nuts) I put the jack handle on my 1/2" ratchet and stand on it with all my weight. It hasn't failed yet and i've done this a million times.

Never thought about the ratchet breaking, cause it never has. I do this ALL the time at work to box end, adjustable, and allen wrenches, as well as breaker bars and ratchets. You know it's tight when you need at 24" adjustable wrench with a 5ft. piece of pipe on the end.

I did quite a bit of deburring on the inside and outside of my block. pretty rough in some places.
