Lost a Snap-on ratchet part

[astrodoggie3000]

I was rebuilding my F936 when the ball bearing came shooting out across the room and into the carpet! Now what? Do i have to order a rebuild kit, or can i get just the ball?

Just go to the hardware store Astro.
It's a common size. You'll find one and be back ratcheting away in no time

Got a magnet? It took me about 30 minutes one time out in the garage when I let one get past me before I found it.

They come in the rebuild kit but if you can't find it, almost any dealer will have some spares.

How do you know what size it is? Can you get it from Home Depot or Lowes.

slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole that the spring goes into

 

[astrodoggie3000]

I know that much, but are they in a bag or out loose where i can put it in the ratchet for testing?

 

[trout]

take the spring with you, it should be about the same size

Go to a real H/W store.

 

[airbuff101]

agreed.
while you still can.

Go to a real H/W store.

If only they weren't so hard to find these days. I have more luck finding dish towels than hardware at any of the 10 hardware stores within 20 miles. I really miss the hardware store in my previous town.

Same happened to me when I was rebuilding the craftsman. I ordered some from McMaster.com. If you or anyone here know the size, I can check what I have...

I can get single ball bearings at Ace H/W, but where do you'all get those tiny springs? I've heard that gun parts suppliers have tiny springs. Anybody know if that's true?

My Ace has a big spring selection, both extension and compression. From teensie-weensie to huge. You can by a longer one and clip it.
