Snap On Dale Earnhardt ratchet

[Irishman1976]

I have a 3/8" snap on ratchet that was put out with dale Earnhardt senior's sig on the blue handle....all this talk about teeth in ratchets, does anyone know how many teeth a ratchet like this would have and the stupid question is it single or double pawl? Curious

Count the clicks

No PN on it at all, huh?

It's single pawl and 30 tooth.

If its a resent model I'd venture to day 80 teeth but that's only a guess.

I have one that I switched the original handle to orange after beating the hell out of it
It is a 30 tooth, single paw sealed head f836 ratchet.

 

[Farmall450]

I'd guess 30 as well.

After counting the teeth....like I should have known to do......it is 30 tooth. Could it be upgraded to 80?

thats a negative sir. yes its a 30tooth single pawl that the old style ratchet. you can't convert them to the dual 80 set up.

thanks...had it for years and was wondering.....not as advanced as some of you guys on the updated tools, etc. I appreciate all answers

On the 3/8 Snap On ratchets, the 80 tooth have no screws visible in top. The older 30 and 36 tooth designs have visible screws.

alot of the dealers stock the 36 tooth head kits for torque wrenches that will swap right in to that handle as those 30 and 36 kits do interchange.
