Thank you for that very well said explanation, I can see this would be the case. Now to find out what it's worth. Regard's, Bill

The 3/8 inch series is a late addition. In 1923, the 5/8 and 1/2 inch sets were the main offerings. I have not seen a F-7A ratchet, but it is appearently a removable plug. The 2nd ratchet has a captive plug, this can be pushed through. This was sent to me by Tim at snap on. He sent me the...

There's only one problem with the ratchet's in 1927, 28,29, they are 9" long, mine is 9.5".

Does his catalog show a picture? and doesn't patent applied for' come before patent pending? I would like to see that ratchet, Thank's for the information. Bill

Ok they moved later, but what about the number or date stamp? And not being able to find it in any s/o catalog, I have been around tool's all my life, I made my living with tool's, and have the best because I need them to last, I am not an expert but when I saw this and tried to find out more...

All ratchet's after 1925 have a number or date stamp, and by then were moved to kenosha from milwakee. If you know different I would appreciate the history. Bill,

I wrote snap on about the history on this ratchet and will let you know what I find out. Bill

Just to update those I talked to about this rare ratchet the other day, I wrote to s/o and as soon as I hear anything I will let you know, I have traced it to 1920,21,23, before the f-7, then the trail goes cold. Thank's for the pm's and all the help, Bill

On the ratchet it is a 1/2 inch drive. Bill

I have that ratchet... and I am trying to find out more about it but it say's patent applied for, so don't where to search, I do know the ratchet after this was in 1925. any help would be appreciated, also due to the economy I will be selling this, but I am well schooled on buying tool's old and...

I'm new to this site and I have an old snap on push thru ratchet, look's like the f-7 from 1929, but I think it maybe older, since it say's patent applied for, milwaukee,usa. on both side's, I have pic's but don't know how to post them, it's in excellent shape for it's age, any help will be...
