snap on FHNF100

[bayoutoolguy]

anyone have one and how do yall like it? how is it holding up to everyday use? just got one after i traded in an older dual 80 i had. to be honest it doesnt really feel that much different from a dual 80, doesnt feel more or less smoother.

I really like mine its about a year old now and still running like a champ. like you said its not too much different from a dual 80, but i realy like the swivel head for certain jobs. thinking about getting a black hard handle to put on it also. i think it would look sweet.

 

[bayoutoolguy]

yeah thats my main reason for getting it, the swivel head. have you done more light or heavy duty jobs with it?

 

[jethro29]

i have about ten of them and love them all.

 

[DrkMtnDew]

it is well suited for fairly heavy jobs because of its size. i used it tenderly at first because i was completely sold on the idea of a 'strong fine tooth ratchet' yet. my favorite place to use it is the back 3 SP's on a minivan. i had Cman ratchets at the time that wouldn't touch those plugs. found it to be real handy for trannies and t-cases.

 

[bayoutoolguy]

same exact reason i was hesitant on getting one at first, didnt really think a 100 tooth ratchet could be that strong. but, ill see how it holds up. i know duals 80s are pretty strong, i have put some good force on mine but theres always the thought in the back of my head, its still a fine tooth ratchet, should i be forcing it this much? lol

Its tied with an fhx80 for my most used ratchet. Only issue is every now and again the forks that hold the head in can be a bit wide in cramped quarters.

I have the older verison, used everyday for the last 15 years. Its tied for my main 3/8" ratchet. Very strong, never broke it. Bent the handle once, Snappy gave me a new one.

I had one, didn't really like it at all and gave it to a friend about a week later. After i put a nice new orange hard handle on it.

Mine is going on 15 years. Some hard use. They stopped making them in the hard handle so i dont want to bend mine, so i only use it if its needed.

 

[bobcatdan]

I bent mine in one of those odd stituations where a pipe gets attached to the end. The handle is more then stout enough, you are not going to bend with your hand. I did that the first year I had it and the second one has made it 14 years not problems.

I love selling those ratchets. They are great

Love it! Have been pretty mean to it sometimes, no worse off for it.

The direction switch isn't as intuitive as the switch on a Dual 80, but I've gotten used to it.
