Well Snap On somehow managed to get the kit to me in less than 24 hours after ordering. I don't know what kind of wizardry they used to make that happen but I'm not complaining Took the monster apart to rebuild it and I believe I found the culprit for the lever action problem. Somehow the PO...

Thank you for the definitive answer! Against my better judgment I cracked it open today at work to see if anything looked amiss. I didn't have a lot of time to look at it but it definitely looked like the teeth on the socket gear and the pawls themselves had seen a lot of action. They still...

I have a set of metric Gearwrench reversibles that came highly recommended by a couple of guys I worked with. I've used them professionally for a few years now and love them.

I will be sure to keep an eye on them! Thanks!

I know the SF80 is inferior to the "A" version but I'd like to try rebuilding it and using it for awhile. (Plus I like the clean look of the head without screws on the SF80). I can't wait to put this thing to work! If I get stuck I'll definitely try to wrangle my local Snap On person(s).

Well it was kinda roundabout but I found a way to get the kit in my cart on the website. It says it's on backorder. Looks like I'll be waiting for a new stock or finding a local dealer. In the mean time I'll just work out my thumbs to get used to hammering the on/off switch :) Thanks for the...

Thanks for the reply! Maybe I'm a bit slow from lack of sleep but I'm having trouble actually finding that particular kit on the site...

Howdy gents! I've been a lurker for quite awhile now but have decided to break my silence to request some help from the tool gods. I recently got my hands on a Snap On SF80 1/2 inch ratchet for a decent price and would like to track down the appropriate repair kit since the directional switch...
