My original square "ratchet" has over 5,000 rounds on it, looks like new! Learn what NOT to do with the square thingy, it will last for years.

What not to do is; don't turn the turret with the ram all the way down, or all the way up. The ram must be at half mast. Also, don't reef on the handle, smooth operation is a must.

Destroying that ratchet is operator error, plain and simple. Making an aluminum replacement will put the stress on the plastic that surrounds the square ratchet, you'll be replacing it instead of a .50 part.
