FHBF80 vs FHB936A

[SKAutomotive]

Can anyone tell me the difference?

*FHBF936A

 

[canuckian]

one's got 36 teeth and the other has 80

Handle length and angle will be the same though?

Exactly the same yes.

dont know for sure but I'd imagine theyre pretty close. i tried looking the 936 up on SO's parts catalogue to see if they had the dimensions but they dont even list a FHB936A. I'm pretty sure I've seen one at some point though

You're missing one letter in your 936. It's supposed to be FHBF936A just like your FHBF80.

oops...typo. looking again, I don't see a listing for any of the older bent handle ratchets in the part catalogue. Guessing it was because they use the same parts as the straight models.

I can get a great deal on a brand new FHBF936A for my dad, and am just trying to figure out if I can just put the Dual 80 guts in it.

That's not gonna happen because the physical dimensions of the 936 head are different from the 80 head.

No.


No you can't .

Unless you are going to swap the ratchet head or nothing....

I don't know. I can get this FHBF936A for 40.00, brand new never used. It's still a hell of a deal. I can see the benefit of the Dual 80 when doing Subaru spark plugs, but that is as a former Subaru tech who did them multiple times a day, where as for my father who will do it, every 30K miles, the price alone is probably worth the extra degrees of throw needed with the 36 tooth.
