Question for you Snap On gurus

[CatfishXpress]

I bought a Snap On ratchet off E-bay. It is a F726B, orange handle, the description said it was 3/8" drive, but its actually a 1/2" drive in a 3/8" ratchet body. Did this ratchet come from Snap On like this? or did somebody modify it after the fact.

I haven't decided if I'm keeping it yet, I was trying to fill a gap in my 3/8" drive collection. I don't really know how much I would use this ratchet.

I'll probably hang on to it for a while and see how much use it gets, I only got about $21 bucks in it.

Somebody played.

Yes it did come that way, you could swap the gear and plate, I think I have them.

Thanks,

I knew somebody here would have the answer, I can never find anything on the Snap On website.

Little trick I learned from somebody on this site:

Go to snapon.com, click on the parts catalog, then square drive tools, then look up your ratchet part number.

A rebuild is $10.00 and the plate is right under $5.00.

I have a f726 for sale in classifieds. FYI

You're also looking for one in your sig?

Nope!!! My 1990 catalog says it's a 8-11/32" long 3/8" drive 20 teeth ratchet with the black ergo handle.

a lsf720b would the same as a f726b in 1/2 drive

Nope!!! My 1990 catalog says it's a 8-11/32" long 3/8" drive 20 teeth ratchet with the black ergo handle.

This one has the orange handle, and it is the original handle because it has the model number stamped into the handle.

Ok dumb qustion time. What is included in the official Snap On rebuild kits?
I have a couple here but I think they were dealer built.

Someone swapped the gear and the plate; that's not a bad thing because I would've done something like that too.

The rebuild kits should have everything but the plate.

Thanks Merkava I thought there was one piece that wasn't included. For some reason I was thinking it was the gear.

The two I have have everything including the plate. They came from an estate auction of a former Snap On dealer. So I would say they were ones he had set up himself.

The Snap On site drives me nnuts at times trying to find information on it.

I have a plate for that ratchet if yuh want it. Free!!!

The dealers will try to tell you that the dust covers are not included but they're frickin' liars!!! When I had my S715 rebuilt, it had a new dust cover in the kit!!!
