Snap On 3/8 hard handle ratchet

[YellowDB]

Hey guys have another ratchet I would like some info on and have some pictures ready aswell!

Looks like a newer snap on ratchet. I'd say made with in the last 10-15 years. I've got an underhood found prybar with the same handle on it.

Can't see the date stamp too well . It's the marking to the left of F835.
It looks like it could be a 7 or a slanted Z. Could be from 1982, 85, 87.

A pic of that stamp would help.

It's just snap on to the left of f836

I bought one just like it new off the truck back in 1995, it was a new design at that time with no soft aluminum cap over the main gear. These were the model that came out just before the first sealed ratchets.

Ahh, that's the letter N. My mistake.

The date stamp is probably on the head between ON/OFF then.

This ratchet is sealed and the date stamp I believe is between the on and off and looks to be a 3

I sold one of these in the Classifieds section recently. The date code on it was 1997. I believe that this model was Snap-on's first commercially available sealed ratchet design.
