Unusual Snap-On Ratchet

[Stephenw]

Snap-On F872MP. I have one, but I don't remember what it cost. I couldn't find another searching on closed auctions. I'm curious what it is worth.

I have the half inch version and IIRC it normally went for like 120 off the truck, so figure the 3/8 was maybe $100? Best I can come up with.

I guess they call it a "Multi-Position Head
Ratchet ".
Here is a Snapon tech sheet on it; if you are familiar with that type of ratchet: http://www.snapon.com/international/9pdffiles/Ratmp.pdf

I remember when they came out, the SO guy carried it in everywhere for show and tell. Apparently they don't make them any more. I also wondered what they were worth, got one in a box I bought. I put a price tag of $40 dollars on it, hasn't sold yet but I'm sure it will.

More importantly, does anyone find it useful?

Edit: Sorry mine is a F936MP 3/8 drive

MAC has made some of those indexing ratchets too - they even put out a combination flex-head/indexing - but they never caught on in popularity very well.

I have one of those (the Snappy 3/8 version) - a Christmas gift from mom a few years back. Terrific tool. You can index the head, leave it unlocked and use it as a speeder, or just leave it straight and enjoy the 72 tooth action (so it clicks every 5 degrees).

Tight spaces are its highest calling. If I had any use for a second one, I'd be interested in that auction for sure.

Looks like it sold for $41.
