I think that's the first ratchet I know of to reach that tooth count. Hey it's USA too, I figured they stopped making those round heads forever, and any return would be China. Your turn Matco!

 

[mrshaun]

the old one had about 72 teeth and was a good seller. now this one might sell even better. we will have to see.....

 

[walrus]

Can it be ordered online yet?

 

[a3tripod]

wouldn't more teeth in the same size head imply narrower/weaker teeth? Will this handle as much torque as the 72 tooth predecessor?

 

[mrshaun]

I still show no stock for the southern part of the USA>...

if they make the teeth smaller then yes each tooth will be able to carry less laod. to compensate they will spread the load over more teeth so they can have the same or better load handeling

I dont think the high tooth count looses any strength. Just like in a rear axle. A stock axle I believe is usually a 28 spline. If you buy a high performance axle from Strange or someone it will probably be a 31 spline or so. Like said above, it is simply spreading the load.

I have the 72 tooth version and I love it. Its probably my favorite ratchet especially when I work on my Trans AM because I don't bust knuckles trying to reach the back spark plug on the pass side. I think I will have to pick this one up soon.

Same here!

I have one of these and I love it. If your fh747 were to be "broken" this would be the replacement and you wouldn't have to pay a dime

careful now, people still get hung around here for that kind of talk!

The rebuild kit for this 100th might work just fine in the last generation's head as well. Worth asking a dealer about.

i have a Fh747 but my snap on guy said it can't interchange the heads... i was little depression as i love the black hard handle... oh well i use a lot both round head and 80teeth ratchets... i tried to use air ratchet but most of time i am work in tight area...

just pull off the hard handle and press it on the new ratchet

 

[Deafautotech]

Good idea! But I am still wait for my snap on guy to get it because snap on distributor have no stocks! Damn it!

 

[speed bump]

Since no one can tell the differance the previous model is 49 teeth looky here. Also for those thinking that a rebuild kit might do something magical for that old FH747 NO IT WILL NOT. why you ask? Because the teeth in a round tooth ratchet are part of the head and the pawl is in the center.

My only question is when is the quarter drive version coming?

 

[superautobacs]

Speed Bump knows....
Unlike a traditional ratchet design, when the teeth get worn out, you end up having to replace the whole handle/head.

Same here. I've had both my 1/4" and 3/8" Snap-on roto's replaced for this reason. I love 'em, but that is one drawback.

so i have a F748 with a fresh rebuild kit in it and it still slips, so im in for a new 100 tooth or can i get the 49 tooth head housing. Cuz its a long handle rotator with the standard handle wich i like, id rather not have the comfort grip, but it would be nice to have a 100 tooth

anybody have an answer to my above question

 

[Deafautotech]

I did look at mine and it is possible to swap head unless new one has different sizes???

 

[walrus]

When I go to check out with the new 100 tooth it says its in stock now. Merry Christmas to me
