As per request, a quick tour of my ratchet collection, including the 9 "new arrivals" that came in the mail yesterday.

This isn't all my ratchets, i have a few more waiting to be sent, i can't remember off-hand how many more i have, maybe 5 or 6. Who knows..

Anyway, on with the tour!

Ratchet drawer before the 9 new arrivals.

Ratchet drawer after 9 new arrivals. Hmm.. going to need a bigger drawer..

Ok, so one is actually a Blue-Point ratchet, and i forgot to include an F936 in the pic that came yesterday.

A nice used set of 836s with orange handles, this will be the "beater" set that'll get the most use, or it may be the set for the home box.

PICT3095.jpg


A bent flex-head with and orange handle. This has a 1/2" handle, so i'll probably swap it. Also need to do something about the head, it's too floppy.

PICT3099.jpg


One compact 1/2" (SF720) and the F936 for comparasin. An SF710 also came yesterday.

PICT3085.jpg


The two compact 1/2" Snap-on ratchets. No longer made, both are red-caps, one is a SF710 and the other a SF720.

PICT3081.jpg


Snap-on 1/2", i forget the model number but this is in very good condition. Bright chrome, one little worn spot in the chrome on the handle, still has the protective sticker on the red cap.

PICT3092.jpg


7 of the 9 that came, the two missing are the orange handled bent-flex and the Blue-Point.

PICT3101.jpg


All my 1/4" Snap-on ratchets that i have here, i have a TF72 and another TMK739 too.

PICT3105.jpg


All my 3/8" Snap-on ratchets that are here, still have a couple more to be sent.

PICT3107.jpg


Orange handled standard 3/8" ratchets.

PICT3106.jpg


All my 1/2" Snap-on ratchets, i have a long orange handled SL836 and a SF832 to come too.

PICT3109.jpg


I'll get some pics of the others when they arrive, and maybe some pics of the Blue-Point later.

If anyone has any requests for other pics/info, just ask!

Hope y'all enjoyed.
-Moose.

Then you run into the trouble of it getting pressurized and causing mesh interference between the gear and pawl when using grease.

They are Blue-Point Ratchet Buddys. They're not ratchets, just ratchet spinners, but they're extremely useful and i use mine all the time. I bought a set off eBay for $10 for a friend, so they can be had cheap. (despite one seller wanting ~$25 for each one)

There is also a 1/4" black one to their right.

Nice; Do you think they are easier to use than the SO labeled ones with the finger reliefs?

I think he should come here and service my neglected ratchets. I'll do the BBQ, which I prefer to lubing ratchets. It could be an event.

Depends on your OCD, some people go insane when they see wrongs things. For example I was grading lab papers and after 2 written in first person I stopped grading becuase it drove me absolutely nuts.

I agree with Merkava, I'm not sure what his red lube is but, the Clevite engine/cam lube is a red slippery viscous fluid, that slowly work its way out and doesn't harden like grease. After months of use I disassemble clean and relube, I have cheap Stanley ratchets in my junkyard crawl box that are 7 yrs. old, a little care goes a long way with ratchets and air tools etc.A.A.use proper fluids:spit:
