How To Convert A 1/4" SNAP-ON Ratchet Into A 3/8" 
Авто/Мото
This has become my latest obsession converting 1/4 to 3/8 torc. Nice one wish there were more uploads like this. Especially for those weird oddballs you occasionally find for really cheap on Ebay and what not.
great video as always keep up the good work brother
Outstanding! I’m going to swap over a TKF72 to 3/8”
Will make the best tiny flex head ratchet ever!
I had my dealer do the conversion on a new ratchet I bought from him.
Tanks for the tip
Liked the video. I need small 3/8" drive like that. I have the hex bit ratchet and it has saved my ass many times. Picked it up off the promo counter on the Snap On truck a few years back.
Thanks great video
Thanks brother!! Enjoyed seeing it done with out any curse words!!
Haha thanks man.
Thanks for taking time for the great video .was wondering how I get stickers. I have tshirts

Hello sir fine post. I've gone the other way with my ratchets purchases, I bought the one I think I use the most is a THLF72 it's 1/4 drive flex handle comfort grip, I like the longer handle, also have a 3/8 FLF80A I like that one, a FHL80 again a long handle another favorite is a 1/2 SL80A a long one as well that's my favorite also. I do have a stubby 3/8 but never used it
Enjoyed this. Maybe this is a weird perspective, and certainly obvious to many, but this is far better than using a 1/4" F to 3/8" M adapter because with this you would neither risk breaking the original square connection and the ratchet gearing is proportionally strong to support anything you put in torque on the ratchet. I've watched a lot of people break a 1/4" ratchet with an adapter that probably shouldn't be on the market!
Looks awesome do they make a conversion kit for quarter-inch with the quick release button on top for that model that's what I have I'm not sure of the model number it's the quarter inch with flex head
Once a month every Friday I meet my snap on guy, always watch it our videos before going, basically to see if I should pick up any extra stuff lol
Is there a parts combination to do a 1/4 to 3/8 with the quick release mechanism.
would it work on a vintage ratchet? like a gm-70m?
I learned 2 things with this video: how to make a 1/4” into a 3/8” and Canadians also celebrate Halloween🎃
Bahahaha
Bad ass costume bro !!!!! Seen that the movie came out 20 years ago this month .
Best movie ever. That’s like, my opinion, man.
Does snap on honour warranty of these modified ratchets ?
Sir is there any kits to convert it to a hex bit ratchet.? Maybe you should do a video doing that please help. 😁
Did the conversion come with new rubber seal?, didn't see it put in there if it did, keep up the great vids Joel, doing great job
No it didn’t and it didn’t fit over the 3/8” so I left it out.
Does this conversion include the dual 80 technology where they have smaller teeth and smoother while using it?
I was just curious if I have a snap on ratchet 3/8” swivel head I purchased about 10-12 years ago it doesn’t have the new teeth can you just purchase a kit and put it into existing older ratchet? Anyone know? Thx!!!
I bought that ratchet they sell with the 3/8 head. Do you know if they have one that will work will work with the thllf72? Their extra long 1/4" flexhead. Bc I noticed on the one I bought it has the cover screws through the face plate and the thllf72 has them through the back. I want to make it a 3/8 so bad.
1st! Nice tools bro 👍
I modified a harbor freight 1/4 to be a 3/8. It's about that size, but it's a swivel head.
Can you point me in the direction to do this on a TLLF72?
You can’t because the screws are on the top of the ratchet head.
Now can you do a 3/8" to 1/2" conversion?
Great video as usual brother, keep them coming 👍
Hmmmm....maybe. I will look into it.
I have not seen a kit to do that yet.
Nice video but I would buy a stubby 3/8 ratchet. Nepros has a stubby 3/8 that's 90 tooth a really small head on it. Part number NBRC390S.
Can you use the flex head 1/4 soft grip and turn it into a 3/8 head
The extra long one is the TLLF72 and you can’t convert that one.
Yes, flex-head variants of Snap-on Dual 80 technology ratchets can just as easily be converted (from 1/4" to 3/8") as their fixed head counterparts. The extra long flex-head versions (with flat-tip fasteners ran in from the rear), specifically THLLF72 and TLLF72, require a ratchet head swap to a standard TF72 style head for the conversion. Check the description for additional information. Glad to help.

Got the TLLF72 extra long 1/4 flex and my dealer said he needed to order the whole head from another ratchet to convert it to 3/8😬
You can buy a williams 7inch flex head 1/4 for under $40 and put the 3/8 kit into that for a sweet ratchet.
Yoda Doug what part #?
@@christophernatale2787 M-52EHFA heres ones 4 $27.88 garage journal has a pretty indepth thread with all the ratchets u can do this with. this vijeo by me has a SK, Wright, and Tone compact model.

Now see I would have had to drink a six pack of beer to do that.
Sweet video man, I'm gonna be featuring some 1/4 body 3/8 drive flex head ratchets in a video later on from Wright and SK
What’s the song you used for intro ?
It’s in the description with a link. My co-worker Jesse’s music.
What do the kit parts cost to change from 1/4 to 3/8 ?
Link in the description. It’s around 10 bucks
The Snap-On Tool Review hey can you provide a part # for the backing plate as well I can’t seem to find it
I said the part number in the video. You’ll have to get your dealer to order it cause you are correct, it’s not listed on the website.
Do you still have the 1/4 72 teeth guts laying around and might wanna sell?
I do actually. Email me at toolwhore78@gmail.com.
Other than the snap on super lube. What else would be a good lube to relube a dry/sticky ratchet?
air tool oil

So you made an FC72 with the wrong markings on it... kinda sweet if you have a spare ratchet laying around, but if you want that ratchet without messing around and ordering parts, just buy the FC72 or FCF72.
I hear ya on that. I bought mine- I want to say 20?years ago. I see a lot of these videos of people converting them, and it makes me wonder if their dealer just does not have it on the truck?
Carve the pumpkin with snap on sawzallllll
You know it.
Noice
FC72.....
So the head of a 1/4 and 3/8 is the same size? Thats just stupid, the 1/4 should be smaller in size for tight spaces. What you just did is got a 3/8 Ratchet and cut Some of the handle nothing more, whats the benefit?
The 1/4” head is way smaller than the 3/8”. The gear is designed smaller to fit into the 1/4” head.
Oh like that, i thought it was just the inside parts of a 3/8 ratchet. So now you can use a small ratchet but with bigger size sockets then there are available with 1/4
Exactly.
nice. 1/4 not as useful as 3/8. me dont even own 1/4 sockets. but i do own a 1/4 ratchet, then i add an enlarger to get to 3/8. woohoo. lates
Whats even the point of this? Seems like it's just spending a bunch of extra money to have a ratchet to show to people and say "oh look how cool this ratchet i have is".
Have you ever been in a situation where the 3/8” head is too bulky? This is for that situation. Plus Most 1/4” socket sets end at 15mm, add a super shallow socket to this and you can get into any spot you want.
@@TheSnapOnToolReview That does make a lot of sense now, I didn't think about the bulkiness of the head. When I think about it now I have run into a lot of situations like that where I don't have a 16mm 1/4 and my 3/8 ratchet with shallow 16 is too bulky
