Snap On hard handle swap - new ratchets

[nubuilder]

I don't know if this has been covered exactly...

I know the topic of swapping comfort grip handles out for hard handles has been covered in the past, but I haven't found anyone specifically listing handles and the ratchets they used with them, especially for the newest releases from Snap On.

Here's what I'm looking to put hard handles onto:
THLLF72
FHLLF80
(these are pre-existing models, but on my list to swap)
SH80
SHF80
SHLX80

I have not taken the handles off of any of these yet; waiting until I have the handles I need.

I'm going with the boiling water method for removal of the comfort handles. I'd also like to stick with modifying the hard handle rather than the ratchet itself.

Seems the most common swaps are:
SDD6R1 - 3/8 ratchet
SDD8R1 - 1/2 ratchet

Gotta make the set match! Attached a pic of some of mine (missing the FHLLF80 and SHLX80, still looking for SHF80).

Any insight to which handles to use on these would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Matt


I've compiled some more part numbers, but will have to post them tomorrow.

Following - i have a couple of comfort grips i'd like to swap out

Here's what I've compiled from other threads as far as part numbers go.

Please keep in mind that not all of these are available.

These are all the direct replacement numbers. I don't think the ratchet handles will fit the comfort grip handles as it seems (from reading) that the ratchet goes farther into the comfort handle than into the hard handle, so the ratchet itself would have to be cut down in order to fit.

Mini handles:
SPP46-2AR9RR - Red (3/16" core, 2 3/4" length)
SPP46-2AR9RO - Orange
SPP46-2AR9RG - Green
SPP46-2AR9R - Black

SPP46-2AR8RO - Orange (1/8" core, 2 3/4" length)
SPP46-2AR8RG - Green
SPP46-2AR8R - Black

1/4" Ratchet handle:
THD72-12R
THD72-12O
THD72-12G

3/8" Ratchet handle:
FHD80-12R
FHD80-12O
FHD80-12G

1/2" Ratchet handle:
SHD80-12

Screwdriver handle
SDD8R1RR – Red (3/8” core, 5 1/2" length)
SDD6R1RR – Red (5/16” core, 4 7/8" length)
SDD5R1RR – Red (1/4” core, 4 3/8" length)
SDD2R1RR – Red (7/32” core, 3 5/8" length)
SDD2R2RR – Red (3/16” core, 3-5/8" length)

SDD8R1RO – Orange
SDD6R1RO – Orange
SDD5R1RO – Orange
SDD2R1RO – Orange
SDD2R2RO – Orange

SDD8R1RG – Green
SDD6R1RG – Green
SDD5R1RG - Green
SDD2R1RG – Green
SDD2R2RG – Green

SDD8R-1R – Black
SDD6R-1R – Black
SDD5R-1R – Black
SDD2R-1R – Black
SDD2R2R - Black


General Thoughts on Handles to Use:
SDD8R-1R for 1/2" ratchets. Measures 5 3/8" long. Used 7/16" bit
Some have also used the SDD6R-1R for 1/2" as well.
SDD6R-1R for 3/8" ratchets. Measures 4 15/16" long. Used 3/8" bit
SDD2R-1R for 1/4" ratchets. Measures 3 1/2" long.
(These are what I've seen recommended in other threads)
