Hi guys,
I need some help from the Snap-on gods. Below is a photo of one of my latest ebay purchases. It is for tightening collets into my TG100 toolholders. It is 2 1/4" (part no. XH172A). It is obviously designed with a machined end and a spring-loaded button to snap into a "breaker bar" of sorts. That is my question: what exactly is this "breaker bar" called? I'd like a fairly short version if I have a choice since I'm only working around 100 ftlbs. Is there a part number or catalog I could find? I am definitely looking to scrounge this for a decent price since I'm scared of what it would cost new!

I think this is what you're looking for. A handle. :)

I would find a piece of steel pipe with the same inside diameter as the tool's outside diameter. Cheap and easy.

The Snap-on "tubular handle" for that wrench head is part number 30B. It's 1" ID, 1 5/16" OD, and 30" long. It's discontinued. You could just use a piece of 1" ID tubing and cross-drill a hole for the button. The TG100 collet chucks that I use have holes for a pin spanner, so that's what I've always used (sometimes with a dead blow).

Thanks guys! I figured there was a chance this would be an orphan; that's OK. Fabbing a handle won't be rocket science. I can use it as-is for now.

DynoDale: My toolholders are Erickson NMTB40. I think I like the hex nut arrangement, although it is a bit bulky. I haven't tried any holders that use a pin spanner.

Is there a good search term to use for future ebay searching?

Thanks again, Jon

All I'm getting is " This video or image has been moved or deleted."

None are 1" ID, but the 13TH being 1 5/16" OD is suspicious. Misprint?, or could bore it out to 1".

I wonder why they were discontinued? I have several wrench ends and the handle and was surprised to find out they had been discontinued, I even checked to see if they had been transferred over to the Industrial sales side, but they don't have them either.

Sorry Bgott and the rest of you guys...I broke the link. It should be fixed now.
