I have a Snap On FAR72 air ratchet. Looking online I can only find FAR7200, FAR72A, 72B and 72C. What is the difference in these ratchets?

Far 7200 70 ft lbs
Far 72A 60 ft lbs
Far 72B 70 ft lbs?
Far 72C 65 ft lbs

I believe the new one they came out with is intended to do away with the previous models...finally...my 72c I got used in 2008.

Yep, but it doesn't show the FAR72 that I have.

Sorry, I assumed you would be able to tell the difference since you owned it. I know my FAR72 is 20+ years old and doesn't have the cushion grip trigger and does not have the steel inlet bushing mentioned in the video. I want to say it makes something like 35 ft lbs of torque, but don't quote me.

In the 72C video the guy says this model uses the FAR7200 ratchet head. So I think yours is the newer 3/8" air ratchet. Again, don't quote me.
