[NinetyTwoFifty]

Look what this went for on ebay:

Plenty of people bid on it, including myself. There must be some demand for a QR Dual 80, don't you think?

 

[JeremyManning]

Holy **** how much would one of those costed new?

 

[NinetyTwoFifty]

Not sure, they haven't been officially released yet. The closest thing available now is the FR936, it's $93.95.

I love my FR936, but I'd love that new Dual 80 even more.

 

[Kirbot]

Wow, I know somebody who would have loved to have that, but good greif...

 

[Bart Simpson]

I saw it was at $169 with less than a minute left and I thought that was crazy, refreshed and saw it closed at $255.00 which is completely nuts.

Someone really wanted that ratchet , they probably saw it "advertised" here as when you mentiuon something on this forum the price tends to skyrocket.

If you want one just be patient , they will be available before too long and will sell for about the same price as a FR936.

THAT IS CRAZY. But seems to be rare as of now...

 

[shanker]

i dont understand why it would sell for so much. In all reality, there is no current situation in which someone cannot perform a job/work w/o that ratchet...so why not just wait and buy it off the truck?

 

[mrshaun]

shanker* just because they have the money to waste. holy **** that went for way more than i thought.
look at their other tools.
shbb24 at 200 bucks this person is making a killing this past week

 

[outlander800]

The standard f 3/8 ratchet is my absolute last resort to use in my box. I just cant believe how these tools get ran up like this.

 

[Toolhorder]

I'm confused. So it's a new ratchet that's not yet avail?

Correct .

This is the first one publicly seen and sold.

It is not available from Snap On yet.

What if this is the only FR80 ever to surface and Snap On will not go with production of this model?

 

[NinetyTwoFifty]

I certainly hope it's not! I REALLY want a QR Dual 80.

I hope not too!! It just seems that it took forever for Snap On to come up with a F80 QR and not release it.

 

[Bart Simpson]

It IS a production model ,not a prototype or anything else.

If your impatient contact the seller maybe they can STEAL another one from Snap On for you ............

Or just wait until Snap On sells their existing stock of the FR936 out then it will be for sale.

 

[NinetyTwoFifty]

I'm not in a big hurry, but when do you think that will be?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Looks like they're already in production, so probably not that far off.

 

[walrus]

So the only quick release they make is 3/8? What about 3/8 flex? I'd like a 1/2 flex with quick release, is that made?

Snap On has never offer the QR in anything but the standard handle in 1/4" , 3/8" and 1/2" drive in the 900 series and 3/8" and 1/2" in the 700 series.

You could make any style 3/8" drive QR you like if you use an older (large gear) 700 series ratchet as you can remove the dust cap and use the rebuild kit for the F723(A) QR ratchet, part # RKRAF723

Thanks
If it doesn't flex its worthless to me, I rarely grab anything but a flex or a round head

 

[Bart Simpson]

There isn't much on the website yet besides prices , but the new product announcement is out now showing the FR80 and FHR80.
