Looks like a New 100 toother to me. ... I love Carnage, The facts are that any Tool is subject to Breakage. Thanks for the Pics..

I hate waiting for replacements. I broke my electric 1/4 Matco cordless ratchet and it was gone 2 months. Talk about withdraw symptoms.
Same with my 3/8 Snappy air ratchet, 10mm 3/8 long socket.

Why is the guy lying prone, instead of supine under the car?

Where was that ratchet made?

Yeah its a 100 tooth hes had the gears replaced a couple times form breaking them,

He was laying that way because a socket rolled way back under the car and his magnet wasnt long enough to reach, The ratchet was made in the USA

after it broke he was looking at it and said the gear must have stripped, so I looked at it and noticed the cracks, out came my phone and I said I know some guys that would love to see this as I was taking pics

you can get the piece that is broken, mine was worn out and my dealer tryed to give me a fhnf100 and i told him to order the part instead. the part was called the swivle head housing i cant remember the part# id have to look it up

didn't know the 100 tooth guts would fit inside the older 747 heads. Learn something new everyday.

after reading ur last post, what type of ratchet is it? a 747 or a 100? either way if its a 7xx series get the part and keep the ratchet, i like my 748 better then my fhnf100

the fhnf100 parts wont work in a the 7xx series swivel housing, you would have to get the fhnf100 rebuild and housing and put it on an 7xx series handle

swivel head housing for 7xx series ratchets part#F748-21

That's what I was thinking, it's clear as mudd now. Lol

yeah im thinking its a 747, and you were stating that now that he has a broken 747 that his dealer is going to replace it with a fhnf100, but he understood it as you were saying that the ratchet he has(im thinking a f747) is a 100tooth ratchet

but thats just a guess

I was asking my brother the same thing about it because he kept telling me it was a 100 tooth but the number was not that of a 100 tooth, but the 2nd time he broke the gears he had his dealer get the FHNF100 housing and put it on the handle

 

[06wt]

hed b better off with the 49 tooth housing that the ratchet originaly came with,

 

[D9H 90V]

Well Ill be giving it to my dealer tomorrow and Ill see what my brother wants to do, I know my dealer is gonna have to order the parts

 

[Cummins_Powered]

Mmmmm carnage!

 

[mrshaun]

I have sold quite a few of the 100 tooth ratchets and no one has busted one.
I prefer the 100 tooth to the older model.
the parts cannot be swapped. you can change housings i think but the guts will not swap.
any other questions?

Thats the first time I've seen one break like that. If it is the 100 tooth head well......Typical China quality,hahaha!!!!
