Servicing Snap On 3/8 14.4 ratchet

[Tom.C]

So I bought one used and wanted to grease the head, after cleaning it off I found what appears to be a micro grease fitting in the directional switch, is this correct? If so what type of grease do you guy's recommend, and also how do you grease the rotational part underneath the head?

Here's a link to the proper grease for Snap On air and cordless powered ratchets. It comes with a grease gun for flush type fittings like you found on the direction selector. They also sell refills for the grease gun. Two or three pumps is all it takes.

Yea you can get those for like 12 bucks online, does anyone know what type of grease is recommended? I could probably just stick some superlube or some synthetic multi grease in it eh?

i think snap on has their own lube. I just put synthetic multi grease in mine. any grease is better than none.
