Just call me a Snap On Dual-80 *****....

[Merkava_4]

Pedro, What is the S80 you are referring to??

T = 1/4 drive
F = 3/8 drive
S = 1/2 drive

 

[wrenchr]

T = 1/4 drive
F = 3/8 drive
S = 1/2 drive

TTFN..............................................
TGIF
WTF

[zuspiel]

if you guys like the f80s you need to try the s80...

I'M tempted to add it to my collection...

I just checked the website and can't seem to find an S80...
Do you have a link?

Thanks!

While the link was loading, I was afraid I'd have to get yet another ratchet

Then I saw it was 36 teeth, so my wallet is safe (for now ;-)

I think the 3/8" ratchets are the only ones with 80 teeth; the 1/4, drives have 72 teeth but are new with the redesigned guts! I think I am right but if not, some one correct me!
This is what the 1/4" dual 80 ratchets say:
Description:
Based on Dual 80™ Technology these ratchets feature:
Durability: Snap-on's ultimate strength and patented sealed mechanism provides permanent lubrication while sealing out dirt, dust and other contaminants leading to a tool life.
Precision: Dual pawl, 72 tooth mechanism provides 15% less ratcheting arc to engage the next tooth allowing you to ratchet in tighter areas.
Strength: Provides up to 90 ft. lbs. Of ultimate torque to help break loose rusted and seized fasteners faster and easier.
Stop, Turn and Listen. Introducing the smoothest, strongest ratchets on the planet. You have to try them to believe them.

Or are the 1/2" drive "dual 80" ratchets not quite available or just scarce right now? Is the S80 technically a "dual 80" ratchet or just the previous or current model that hasn't been redesigned?

80-Series:

1/4" - 72-tooth ie T72
3/8" - 80-tooth ie F80
1/2" - 80-tooth ie S80

 

[zuspiel]

Ahh, the SO website seems to have issues.

The page title says "S936" but the stock number is S80. It also says "36 teeth"...

Pedro, can you clear this up?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Website is a little behind in the update depatment, methinks.

 

[Pedro-snapon]

I just ordered an fhl80. I hope it lives up to the hype. That snappy ratchet drawer is what dreams are made of.....

the web sight is behind i have the new 80 tooth 1/2 ratchets in... they feel better than the 3/8 =)

at the tool show i went to in august they hung a epiq box from it (roughly 1000lbs) the s80 has been tested to be able to withstand safely 710 ft lbs

(just tried to take a pic and failed =( )

the dead give away for the 80 teeth ratchets are no screws on the head the 2 screws on them are on the face plate

 

[billymade]

Do the 1/4" drives have 72 teeth in them, because they can't design the 80 teeth to fit in the head or did they view 80 teeth as unnecessary?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I'd imagine it's too expensive or unfeasable to make the 1/4" gear 80-tooth. I opened my T72 today to lube it and it's all incredibly small stuff in there.

 

[zuspiel]

(just tried to take a pic and failed =( )

That's a shame

If I type SH80 in the search box, it finds it but no description.

If you could take a pic of an S80 and SH80 and post it, that would be awesome!
Is the SH80 longer? By how much?

 

[billymade]

I guess the old 900 series has 36 teeth; so 72 is twice the amount of the old one, thats quite a leap in teeth!

 

[Pedro-snapon]

i'm assuming that they couldn't fit them... its the same dual paw design and the teeth on the gear are super fine....

sl80, sf80, f80s and t72s

[zuspiel]

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

 

[bchee]

awesome picts. Thanks
somebody else mentioned that the 1/2 feels better than the 3/8. What's the difference?

you can barley feel its ratcheting at all ... almost like a bearing...

 

[zuspiel]

Ok, now I really want one

Any clue how long the SH80 is? If it comes in around 12-13" total, that would be the one for me. The SL80 looks too long for me...

 

[eschoendorff]

Nice! I need another 1/2 ratchet like I need another credit card... but that S80 is one damn fine machine

Can you post some pics? Would love to se a dissection of the head if your willing to oblige! Hell, anyone with a dual 80; would like to se the guts of those things!

Just got the SH80 and it is VERY smooth. Love the length, too.

 

[sickytwisted]

Nice level collection too guy. Are those all stabila's?

 

[Stevenn1]

My SNAP-ON ratchets.
Mostly Dual 80.

I recently bought an SHL80 and tested it against my SL936. Turns out that the SHL80 is way smoother but the SL936 appears to be heavier and stronger. Ended up selling both to my mechanic. Might go for a longer handle but haven't decided yet. Either way, going to make sure that it's a 72 tooth this time.
