Best Ratchet ever made?

[4X4HIGH]

Go big or go home, I suppose?

What size drive is that?

That ratchet he has is a Snap-on display ratchet made of plastic with a clear back cover to show the workings of the 80 tooth technology.

I almost bid on a 1 1/2" drive Snap-on torque wrench a few years ago just for a conversation piece. The ratchet was 12 1/2" feet long.

Well, it's not a ratchet, but I do have a fairly large torque wrench.

Looks close in length to my 3/4" drive Snap-on torque wrench (200-600 ft/lb). Think mine is 54" in length when assembled.

Yep, same one.

 

[4X4HIGH]

Yep, same one.

Not the same, yours is dial type and mine is a micrometer clicker type.

This is my torque wrench but the older version without the rubberized handle. http://store.snapon.com/US-Reading-...-Ratchet-200-600-ft-lb-3-4-drive-P642562.aspx

Ahhhh, I think I remember reading about that.

Well, same range.

I hate you all. I just dropped $125 on *AH* ratchet of ebay. I'm blaming all of you. And this thread...

SHLF80 my favorite for beating on. 24" flex head 1/2" drive 80 tooth.



Actually my 1/4" flex and 3/8" stubby says USA on it?!?

 

[DEMON44]

And surprisingly here's my blue point kit that just had an unfortunate opening incident. :bangbang:

 

[DEMON44]

It's actually a damn handy grab and go kit. All blue point. Metric and standard. 1/4 & 3/8 drive. Metric and standard wrenches. The ratchet bodies are good metal. But the mechanism feels more like my craftsman stuff.

I actually don't use my 1/2 inch ratchets much. My 3/8ths stuff sees a fair amount of use. My 1/2 inch impact gun gets used 100:1 to my 1/2 ratchets. I use the everloving sh!t out of my wrenches working on hydraulic lines.

 

[DEMON44]

Yes. I definately don't use it most. I called it most abused I think. I broke the last one pulling up on it with the shop crane. Cause the head and a short socket was the only thing that would fit. Then I finished it off with my service truck so I could get a new handle too.


I use 3/8 and 1/2 electrics on everything I can get them on. HyTorq and R.A.D. Guns for anything that require big torque.

I have the same one, in hard handle...

We call our cranes "the roof wrench."

 

[DEMON44]

That's a good one. Haven't heard it before. Pulled on a snipe with the hand of God a time of two.

1/4 inch. It's a speeder. (ZOMG!! THE HANDLE SPINS!!) I have the matching 3/8ths one. They only made them for a short while, they didn't sell well.
