Show off your big ol' ... ratchet

[J.A.F.E.]

Just to balance out the smallest ratchet thread here's one for the biggest. I have a 3/4 LV-70 that I originally got with a L-72-RJ handle for a combined size of 23 7/8. Later I got an L72RL handle at 35 1/16 for a combined total of 39 1/4 just because I got a good deal on a head and long handle. I sold the second head, kept the long handle and made $5 or 10 extra. I don't really the big handle very often but it sometimes makes things easy and it is just too neat not to have. Just for scale I have included a photo of me holding it - 5'5" 145lbs.

I know there are bigger, 1" drive and so on. So show off what you got. I have some extra long 1/2 I may post later.

Here are a few I have... The snap on is a TQFR250E which is 22 3/8 inches long and the smallest is the plomb 4749 1/4 about 4.5 or so inches.

They look hoard worthy to me!

What he said.

 

[bchee]

that's the craziest thing I've seen in a while. You are weird man

 

[bchee]

hey you guys are showing picts and part numbers but no drive sizes.

I'm assuming the biggest are 1" drive.

X10! I hate it when 48548 shows off his Plomb stuff!!!

 

[snapmom]

A rat only a woman could love (lug) 42" snap on 3/4 rat, 54" snap on extension, 3-1/8 snap on socket. (I had to use a lot of adaptors to make this)

 

[bchee]

LOL that's crazy.

I know you guys are falling in love with snapmom

 

[Diesel-Mech]

Impressive ratchet snapmom, it took me a minute to realize that the hammer on the table was supporting the other end.

 

[48548]

elroy I think that was a 4749 body with a 5249 head correct? like a 5249sp or something.

I forgot to ask if you ever actually had to use a set up like that. An extension almost 6'

It's a 1/4" body with a 3/8" drive. These are all factory assembled parts. It's stamped 5248S and is 100% original. Got that back about '85 or so.

At 5'5" I am 66". That comes up past my neck - add in the socket, adapters, and ratchet and that setup is about as tall as I am.

I am in awe.

I hope you're talking about the ratchet 'cause I'm a little sensitive about my looks...

I use one a couple times a year to retorque rotation bearing bolts on our digger/derrick trucks.Ours is homemade,I'll try to get a pic at work tommorow.

 

[Diesel-Mech]

Heres my big and little.

Snap on L72 3/4" drive ratchet with my Snap on FC936 3/8" (yep my smallest ratchet happens to be 3/8" drive)

 

[Moose-LandTran]

How has that thing held up with the welds?

 

[caper]

How has that thing held up with the welds?

It's been here since before I started working here,it only gets about 350 ft/lb max applied to it.Normally about 295ft/lb for most jobs,gets used to verify 90% torque on rotation bearing bolts on our annual inspections.Occaisionally gets full torque of 325-350ft/lb to do a replacement bearing.

Finally got around to taking some pics of our 1" Williams SuperRatchet X51. Shown against a Craftsman 3/4" for perspective. It's a pretty unique old wrench.

Very nice I like that a lot . What are the dimesions?

Just under 26 in. long. The head is just under 3 in. wide at its widest point.

That is very cool.

How has that thing held up with the welds?

Assuming its a half way decent job it should break in the base metal long before those welds will break.
