Snap On handles

[HzEmall]

Looking for black hard classic handles...

Anyone got some for sale?

You can buy them from snap on directly. Are you using for ratchets screwdrivers picks?

Look up snap on hard handle either here or Google I do know the sdd8 handle is great with 1/2 drive ratchets with a slight drilling of handle to work

ebay is a good choice... there was a seller on there that had everything black hard handle. i dont think you can buy them from snap on anymore, and they are not that easy to come by unless your willing to dish out the money

I have a few extras. Upper left and center area (hex drivers are correct handle sizes for ratchets):

Upper right:

Not actively trying to sell any. Again, what are you trying to do? You can buy them from Snap-on.

Mine are starting to break after 35 years. They have a shelf life evidently.

You can still buy the handles by themselves, and according to my SO man as of last week, they occasionally do limited runs of 3/8" and 1/4" hard handle ratchets in red, green, orange, black, and sometimes a unique color. He had a couple 3/8" long ratchets with hard handles and some standard 1/4" hard handle ratchets on the truck.

I do prefer the old hard handles, but I have to admit, the new SHL80A I bought is quite nice too.

If the handle breaks snap on will replace it n/c . I've gotten a few replaced.

So are you guys saying its possible to fit a hard handle to a regular ratchet?

As in regular all-chrome handle? Possible, but not the easiest; this requires turning the end of the ratchet shank to a smaller diameter in order to press fit the handle on.

However, replacing a comfort-grip or older-style handle on a ratchet is actually quite easy.

Yeah I meant retro-fit to the regular handles.. but if it involves that sort of work, I think I'd just rather keep them and buy more with the handles already on.

Can you tell me what size Torx driver matches the 1/4" ratchet HH size best? Do all of them? Will a T15 be the right size? I want yellow HHs for my 1/4"' ratchets and Snap On doesn't make them. No screwdriver is a match for size. But I think you are right, the Torx drivers might be.

TIA

It's not hard work and can be done fairly quick, but like you said it's a lot easier to trade them for ones already with handles.

Look up acetate hard handles there is a pdf with new screwdriver handles with what size shanks hole you with need

The mini screwdriver and picks are not easily avalible seperate thou since they use 1/8 hole

As you said screwdriver handles don't match exactly to ratchet handles, but a T15 should be close.

You have yellow hard-handle torx drivers to sacrifice for this?

T8 and T10 are the right size. T15 is larger.

The mini Torx are too small.

Thanks Dale that's exactly what I needed. No, I don't have any yellow drivers to sacrifice. I think there are some on the roof of my local SO van. I'll check out what he's got. I need 2 ideally, for my THLD72 and THLDF72.
