Rebuilding a vintage Snap-on TM70B 1/4" drive ratchet.

[@joefw2446]

Thanks!... It's a wonder that lever lasts any time at all being made of soft metal. Thread locker is a great idea too.

[@johnscholl8391]

Thanks man, i tried pushing the pawl in sideways and that worked great

[@miguelluigi]

Great video man! I have a TM75A and the teeth are worn. Please share the details of the eBay seller you bought yours from. Thanks

Your cover is on upside down.

[@danjreed]

Oh no! You are correct! I guess I need to get a new switch lever!

[@BrianSmart1959]

@@danjreed I have the same ratchet. I just called Snap On consumer service and they sent me a repair kit free of charge.

That piece is pot metal lever over priced junk rebuilt mine twice keeps breaking .

[@rackemrackboy]

Thats a 1987 ratchet

[@danjreed]

No, its not.

[@Playboyyrocky]

rhat ratchet made in 1957 looks better than or just like some of the ratchets sold today

[@FutaNoKami]

Mine says TM70B 5 does this mean its from ''55? I got it handed down from an old timer aircraft mechanic when i did my internship a few years ago

[@danjreed]

Depends on how the "5" is stamped. If you Google "snap on tool years" you'll see a graphic that shows the styles.
