All You Need to Know About Snap-on Ratchets | Snap-on Tools

[@michaeledwards6335]

So the opening of this video is the very best Snap On Tool Rep of them all. Buddy Hobbs. He was my Rep for years. I can still see him step off his truck and shout It's Tool Time! He always had a positive spirit and if you even asked about a product he would have it for you the next week and lay it in your hand to see if you were interested. He believed in what he sold and it showed. He was so much more than a salesman, he was a friend. It was so good to see him again even if it was just for a few seconds. Hats off to you Buddy where ever you are today........Mike Edwards

Snap on makes the best ratchets hands down!

[@richardbarry4828]

Agreed they are the only ratchets I use I think I have 9 right now

People who say this have obviously never touched a Nepros or Stahwille

[@magincap70]

Love the multi position head. 90% of the time it's just a sweet ratchet but, then a control arm or exhaust or other component gets in your way and being able to change the angle of that head is amazing.

[@patrickwelch620]

You can use it in a reciprocation motion too.

[@matthewslauenwhite7277]

I'm a home mechanic and 95% of all my tools are Snap-on. My main job is I buy and sell crude oil but as my hobby I restore and repair vehicles with my kids and snap-on is the name we make our memories around. My kids from age 1 to 10 get excited to be able to get on the snap-on truck on wednesdays and pick out new tools to add to our epic and slide top boxes

[@dnzgarage]

Pretty awesome stuff man cheers

[@sameuljones5496]

Snap On ratchets are amazing. I had to do a Chevy v8 diesel head job and could not fit anything into the last rear head bolts by the firewall. I contemplated but in the end all that would fit was my 3/8 Snap on FL80. It cracked all headbolts and torqued them up also. AMAZING

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Not to mention the signature feel of the Snap-on ratchet in general...unmatched in the industry. Now just need a slightly smaller instinct grip on the ratchets as well!

[@devoncoolman88]

Joe Shabidu all snap-on owned companies. Move along now.

[@automedic9781]

Don’t use anything but snap On ratchets. Love them. Can’t say enough good things about them. I have chrome, comfort, and the hard handles, and I have to say, I constantly go back to the chrome. I like the feel of the comforts the most, but it’s so much easier to clean the chromes, and I work so much faster not worrying about cleaning them

[@holden2260]

Just brought my first snap on 3/8 80 tooth ratchet after 10 months of using the just a basic mechpro kit as a heavy diesel Isuzu truck apprentice mechanic and not turning to any other brand form now on snap on only absolutely love my ratchet and only going to buy more and more snap on tools form now on

[@BlindBatG34]

Nice video. I had no idea the letter prefix in the ratchet part number stood for something. And I never would have guessed the f in the 3/8" prefix stood for ferret.

[@mr.potatoehead7078]

Good to see that the speeder ratchets are back. I still have the old 936 heads from 2003.

[@mickromer6199]

Must admit snappy does make the best ratchets.. iv got all sizes from 1/4 to 3/4... Even seen a bloke broke a 1970 model ratchet and our dealer here in Aus replaced it no questions asked... Warranty on a 40+ year old ratchet? This is why I choose snap on..

[@felixgrondin3264]

They warranty my 1937 one

[@benhess6692]

My rep just rebuilt my 1938 military issue last week

[@87FoRunner]

Snap on should make a video like this for extensions!

[@jackcarter233]

I love the look of the old snap on tools

[@drakeo7594]

That ending quote was killer 😂

[@redmesa2975]

3:54 I have several Snap on ratchets, and especially like the dual 180 comfort grip models. * The 1/2" locking flex, I don't like at all. If you barely bump the lock it will lock when you don't want it to. Annoying. I removed the lock,so it's just a flex head now.

[@davidostring1289]

Great presentation. Thank you for posting this.

[@AD-vj3kj]

Yeah and in Australia they try everything possible not give warranty. Top stuff snap on.

[@Supra_Mickey]

What about the 3/4 ratchet

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Wish you make locking flex bent handled ratchet

[@mikevoebel4141]

Pretty informative video. I’ve got several custom made Snap On ratchets. They’re some of the best ratchets money can buy.

[@xcofcd]

What do you guys mean with custom made ratchet?

[@intraw831]

moinmoin probably a 3/8 drive in a 1/4 ratchet

[@707SonomaComa]

I sure wish they made them with a push button socket release. I have many snap on ratchetets but I find myself reaching for Matco or a Craftsman. Some of my SnapOn ratchets are 3 years old and look brand new still, barely used. I do brake alignment, and suspension work only. Dirty and greasy. It's very difficult to remove sockets without the push button socket release.

[@tttarms1970]

I own them....they exist

[@treyelkins9081]

In the long run is it best to by the snap on I’m trying to get my tool box better and all I have now is Milwaukee and craftsman.

[@MotorheadRedo]

Why doesn't Snap-On make a ratchet with a knurled handle? I found an old Herbrand ratchet that has a knurled handle and it has a great feel to it.

[@patch33]

[@zimmhollowfarm8414]

Do you guys make a adjustable ratchet

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

So you guys going to be introducing a new indexing ratchet it looks like! The bent spark plug ratchet would come in REAL handy with a locking feature and nobody has a locking feature yet on their spark plug ratchet. =) SNAP ON!

There's nothing like a good quality made in USA rachet in your hand.

[@eshskis1]

Snap on ratchets are not exclusively made in the United States anymore that is a fact they are made with so many Global materials sourced from outside the United States that they are no longer allowed to put USA on the tools by federal law

[@dougtilaran3496]

SOOOO. What you're saying is the best ones are your 72 and 100 tooth round heads overall ? I thought so.

[@xcofcd]

Is this multi position ratchet a new product? I've never seen it before...

[@j0sh368]

i think its fairly new they have been promoting it alot latley

[@madmechanic1000]

They produced it many years ago but discontinued it , Now its available again

[@a.k.9425]

To reduce and possibly prevent ratchet damage. I purchased 3 very tough Icon breaker bars. I also purchased the Icon wobble extension set. My newer Kobalt 90 Tooth ratchets should last a long time.

[@willyqueen4066]

Thanks great video I like Snap on ratchets a lot !

[@Juzzy520]

i love the sound of a snap-on ratchet👍👍

[@GNX157]

Do a lot of you replace the cover plates on these ratchets? I've rebuilt several but they still have up and down and radial side to side play that makes me wonder if they will skip over the ratchet pawls inside.

[@benlee2765]

I got a t72 that needed new internals but i didn't replace the back plate. I noticed side movement on the anvil. Just thought thats how it is.

[@chevalierdeloccident5949]

Forgot the extendable handle and the pass thru head.

[@vintagebikewurx3730]

I broke a soft grip 3/8 ratchet handle in half and they wouldn't warranty it. The regular handle is warrantied. FYI No more soft grips for me.

[@800canamrider]

When he said “S, you guessed it” I said “shit.”

[@frantic2015]

Great video great detail. The multi-Position Ratchet do you guys even make that tho? have had a look on your website both UK/USA but can't find a thing about it? Now many years ago i heard a Patent infringement was going around regarding the Multi-position tool and it ended preventing you from continuing to manufacture this tool, i presume it was true as its near enough impossible to find one with out resorting to the likes of E-bay etc. Now With this being a new video post and the mention of said ratchet, would i be wrong in presuming that we could be seeing a come back of this mighty fine tool? Would be great to see it back, as she has helped myself and many mechanic friends reach tight spots? So Mr....Snap-ON is it coming back ?

[@ryanmartinez9546]

I just talked to my local rep today and they should be available in the US some time in April in there current promo. and should be available for pre order or order soon.

[@ryanmartinez9546]

Also the price was around $145 for the 3/8 drive, and unknown for the other drives

I’ve noticed snap doesn’t put made in USA on so tools. Don’t go cheap now. If it doesn’t say made in USA I’m not buying it.

[@ottepedersen9219]

All my ratchets are snap-on, I will not use any others. Why you might ask? Want to see the scars on my knuckles?

[@NutsandBoltsAuto]

Why would you have scars if all your ratchets are snap on? Id rather learn my lesson the first time around. Also, why would you be bashing your hands because of a ratchet? Thats what breaker bars are for, so it doesnt mess up the teeth. Wrong tool for the job will fail no matter what brand it is.

[@ottepedersen9219]

@@NutsandBoltsAuto I have scars because I've not always had snap-on ratchets. I also know about the right tool for the right job but as a field service tech for heavy equipment you don't always have the ability to have the right tools and you make due with what you have. So if you going to preach to me find someone who gives a damn!

You can sure tell the difference between the guy that has his shit together and buys nice tools and the poor man that just bitches about the price and compares the actual tool to other brands. And there is always the guy that thinks Williams is Snap - On. Williams isn't anymore Snap - On than Blue-Point. Different brands all together.

Snap-on HA what a joke £303.90 for a basic 1/4 drive ratchet and a couple of sockets? You can buy a 172 piece mirror polished set with 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive ratchet sets along with many other items all with a lifetime guarantee for less than half that price from another reputable brand. Your good at marketing and getting people to fund your marketing... i'll give you that.
