Snap-on 936 vs. Williams 52E

[kythri]

So, just to confirm, these are, with the exception of the body, the same ratchet, right? Same drive mechanism and all that?

I need more ratchets like I need a hole in the head, and I don't rightly know that I need 36-tooth ratchets on top of that, but, what can I say? I kinda want them.

Anyhow, I know used Snap-on prices are typically crazy, but between local pawnshops and eBay, well-used 832 and 936 series ratchets are just ridiculously expensive when compared to the Williams 52E stuff new.

Bump - looking to confirm.

I don't have both but this post seems to agree that the parts are interchangeable.
