Do The Top Ratchet Lubricants Make A Difference on Snap-On?

[@RobNorton]

This is a great video! Backdrag is the pits when you get a new ratchet and it's tougher than expected

[@Jethro2022]

Yes it is, I am going to work on that ratchet a little and try to make it better.

[@ToolsMethodsPhilosophies]

I found the best lubricant to reduce ratchet back drag is Koken.

[@Jethro2022]

I agree but they are not necessarily the right ratchet for every situation. I do love them though.

Good topic james!! Should get slot of feedback!! Hope all is well!!

[@Jethro2022]

Yes sir, I probably need to try a few other products as well. Thank you Jeff, hope you are doing well also.

Good info to know!

[@Jethro2022]

Glad you liked it, I was kind of suprised it didn't help more than it did to put something lighter.

[@mlieser1230]

Interesting results. I typically use 3 and 1oil in my higher tooth count ratchets. Some ratchets need a break in period.

[@Jethro2022]

Yep, I was kind of surprised myself

[@halffast7799]

You are using the wrong Superlube. You are using NLGI 2. Snap on uses NLGI 00. HUGE difference.

[@Jethro2022]

Thanks, I will check it out. I did'nt get to use that tube though, I used what came in my Snap-on rebuild kits

[@halffast7799]

@@Jethro2022 That should be NLGI 00.
