obsolete snapon rachet

[clueless]

found one cleaning out friends basement,all rusted up,couldnt tell what it was,soaked it in vinegar/salt solution till i found out it was a snapon e-70-m. tried to find it on snapons site,but no good. it turns,works, but the reverse lever was aluminum,and coroded away to nothing. its pitted pretty badly.

does anyone know if they even make kits for it yet or not.

If its 3/8 dr. then its a F-70-M. Kit is rkra380. call snap on and they will send one for free.

might be a f, it it was badly rusted, and pitted but soaking it brought all the rust off it,just pitted badly. nice little rachet.

thanks

I called Snap On this past Friday about that same ratchet. My free repair kit should arrive this week.

try putting it in a mixture of ATF and diesel, usually works for me.
