Worth rebuilding Snap-On FAR72B?

[keithwvd]

Here it is:


It worked fine, but the drive broke. I can't find the replacement part listed on the site, anyone know how to go about repairing it? Any other ratchets that would use the same part? Or should I just forget it?

Thanks for any help!

I have one of those too; needs a new set of gears.
My dealer says NO DICE to parts....

Any ideas boys?

Turn it in for rebuild to Snap on. Used to be 99$ lifetime. Last time I sent mine in got a 72C back. Wish I could have kept the original since I'd had it for 25 years but the new one kicks a$$ and that's what I got it for in the first place.

That still has the FAR72b head, SO will rebuild it with the FAR72c head

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/parts/pro_det.asp?Item_id=630686&group_id=677408 that is the break down for the far72b with part prices.

And he needs "A" but it isnt in the list with prices. Which is why his dealer told him parts arent available. But SO will repair it using FAR72c parts. I am not sure what all may need to be changed to use FAR72c parts

ETA-The anvil alone is $72 for the FAR72c, so if its $99 to rebuild I would say its probly worth sending in

If that's the case I have 2 far72b that I got in a box of used tools, I'd be more then happy to send the parts needed to fix yours.

Do they offer the rebuild for the Bluepoint line?

Let me know what you need I don't use any of those tools in the pic. One of the far72 has a messed up anvil though.

wow! that is very generous of you, I would be more than happy to cover shipping. I believe all I need is the drive, other than that it worked.

I got this from a mechanic/friend for free, but then he broke my craftsman one that I loaned him for the week until his Matco guy came so I've been without an air ratchet for about a year now. It would be AWESOME to finally get this thing working!
