More Snap 80 guts picts

[bchee]

Here are a few more snap 80 picts. I've seen some here already but I don't remember if they were fully disassembled. Ideally I would take picts like elroy, but these are from my cell phone. Hopefully you can make out some of the details.

edit: some observations I noticed:
1) it's not that hard to reassemble
2) it doesn't seem sealed as well as they claim. Sure there are o-rings around the square drive and reverse lever, but not around the entire cover plate. I opened the other 80 ratchet that I actually have used and there was dirt lodged in the crevice between the body and cover plate.
3) i'm not convinced the dual pawl makes it stronger, but it does make it smoother. When the ratchet is switched in one direction, the gear is only in contact with one pawl at any given time (6 gear teeth in contact)

I would really like to try one but can't justify the outlay at the minute.

Looks like it should stand up to some use though

You know the more I look at the 80's the more I think, Thats just a round head with the pawls outside instead of being altogether.

Neat pics! Thanks. I have yet to open one of mine.

Before you-know-who :) asks: Any experiments with different lubes? Permatex will be too thick...

3 n 1 works great on the 80's!!
