But they also save weight and space by using smaller bolt heads on larger bolts (eg flange heads) and higher grade bolts like grade 8 or 10.9. Modern cars are very compact and space is at a premium. Its nickname was 'ferret', like weasel, for when a 1/2 drive (standard drive in 1940s) was unavle to fit.īy modern standards, its a touch short. Is the the tool for you? It was designed in ww2 as an obstruction ratchet, so its quite short. The f80 is a minimalist ratchet, 7 inches long. Brand and quality don't matter if you don't like the fit, balance, length, etch of the tool. OP - I 'm going to pass on some different advice.buy the correct form factor. This mix of tools helped me make some really good pay. So the point of this is some manufacturers tools may work better for the work you do. It is 4000 pounds of fantastic and 640 cubic inches. I keep BSW for the big Ruston Hornsby single cylinder British Diesel that collects dust in my shop. Snap-On warranted the BSW, but it took a few weeks to get the replacements out of the national warehouse. I bought some broken British Standard Witworth sockets that were in a large collection and had Snap-On on the sockets. On the matter of Snap-On warranty, I have bought hundreds of broken Snap-On tools at garage sales, pawn shops and second-hand stores and turned them in for warranty. I run larger air hose for this impact because it needs big air. My favorite 1/2" impact is the Snap-On AT 5500.

I just bought a heavy duty MAC AR777 3/8". I prefer their butter-fly 3/8" impact, their 3/8" regular impact and I have 1/4", 3/8" pawl drive Snap-On ratchets. These may be one of the best wrenches ever made. I still use these occasionally when I need a 12 point socket.įor those times when I need a very thin but strong wrench, I keep HAZET. Dad used these tools for decades and when he died they were left to me. On the day I was born in December 1945, my Dad bought a set of SK twelve point, 1/2" drive sockets with a ratchet, an extension and a breaker bar. I keep a few popular size Snap-On in 12 point. All of mu sockets in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" short and deep are SK 6 point. All of my combination wrenches are SK and I have these in stubby, regular and long. On the other hand if you're able to pick up a like new condition F80 in the $40 or so price range you certainly won't be disappointed with it. I'm know I've put my 1/2" HF breaker bar and extendable ratchet through things I fully expected would break them and it hasn't so. Are the Snap-on ratchets made better? Probably, but are they 4x the cost better? probably not. I know that sounds like blasphemy, but it's the truth as I have experienced it. In practical everyday use, if I were blindfolded and handed a snap-on ratchet vs a HF fine tooth ratchet, other than the on/off selector being backwards I probably wouldn't notice much difference.

Of the 50 or so ratchets I own (yes it's an addiction) probably 1/2 a dozen of them are Snap-on, but I think I'd be disappointed if I ever paid full price for a Snap-on ratchet.

The first being the hard handle instinct screw drivers which I still believe to be the best screwdrivers in the free world.
