Snap On swival head ratchet

[Lightning]

Anyone else own the Snap On swival head ratchet FH747? I bought this tool last week and you can use it as a nut driver and then torque fasteners like a regular ratchet. It really makes my job much easier and wish I had bought this ratchet years ago. It is expensive $101.00, but if you are price consicious and would like to save money I think SK and maybe Craftsman have similar ratchets. This is a nice tool to have in your tool chest.

I have the Snap On versions in both 1/4 and 3/8 drive.... quite possibly two of the most useful ratchets that I own.

I've got a remote control toy speed boat with a compact nuclear device on it's way to the freighter right now.

Okay... the remote control toy boat part was believable....

Did you get your remote control toys from HF?

You're a lot closer to Camarillo than I am.

For the home wrench, the HF version shown is mighty fine, all the more you will ever need unless you just want the name! I have two, and I need to go back for the third. Although one could easily justify spending the extra to jump up to the SK version IMHO!

I have the SK 3/8" drive roto-head ratchet and it is mighty fine. I paid less than twenty bucks for mine in used but like new condition. Here is a link to the original SK (Sherman Klove) patent.-

I've been using the SK roto-head for many years and it has been my favorite go-to ratchet. I picked up the Snapon swivel head ratchet in a recent buy off ebay. I've only used it a few times so far but I'm really liking the addition of the hard plastic comfort handle.
