I have this same ratchet but with a 3/8" driver. Its my favourite tool by a country mile 🙂👍
just an fyi snap-on uses super lube in their ratchets from the factory ... I'd assume a dry rebuild is going to wear faster, and not be as smooth of an action.
Great job! Next time if u wanna get some stuck rusty screws off the ratchet, instead of a chisel, you could use one of those impact screwdrivers that are used on rotor screws.
Marvel Mystery Oil does wonders on stuff like this.
Noticed your box hand carry box, how're you liking that box?
Nice work!
I'm lucky enough to have some Snap On ratchets, but I also have some made by non tool truck brands, such as Milwaukee, Wright and Facom, (a French brand), and quite honesty, although the Snap On are built very well, and tough, but quite often, they are rather too 'chunky' to fit into tight spaces, and a bit heavy to use. I actually find myself going to the Facom more often. The same goes for the wrenches, I really like the feel and head angles of the Facoms.
You did great filming and editing this video on an iphone!
What? You trash talk Harbor Freight/ICON at the start of the video then use the ICON bit driver ratcheting wrench at the end of the video to tighten up the screw holding the head to the handle. Seriously though, nice job on cleaning that ratchet up!!
