New Snap On ratchet teardown. 

That green handle ratchet is my favorite. I have not had a chance to see the new one since I've been out of work. Thanks for sharing

I've had my FLF80 since 2007. It is date stamped 2006. So the dual 80 has been there about 18 years, not 12. In my opinion, the difference between 80 teeth and 100 teeth is not as noticeable or helpful as it was when they went from 36 teeth to 80 teeth. I still use my 36 tooth snap on ratchets when doing heavier work, even though the 80 tooth is rated for higher torque than the 36 tooth. The biggest improvement is the steel selector switch on the new 100 tooth. The powdered zinc switch on the 80 tooth breaks easily if you throw it down on your cart when you have to switch tools one handed while holding something up like a control arm or a cross member for a trans, etc. I wish the dual80 had steel/iron switches, it would be the perfect ratchet. Sealed head ratchets last decades and snap on is among the best.

I hope they make a new version of the tl72 perhaps 90tooth. That’s my favorite ratchet I use it a lot.

I just wish they would finally chamfer the circumference of their ratchet heads. I use that drill trick today on a craftsman 180 and I discovered it can auto switch much to the surprise of my knuckles. So I ran the drill slower. Yeah it didn’t help the Crapsman 180. The 2nd most hated ratchet I own. Lol Also, a compact head version would be cool. That dimples is probably to make sure there is no way there is a nub at the center of the machining in either side, which is a possibility with the turned side. As far as the body side, I wouldn’t think it would be an issue with an end mill but maybe they’re using a method I’m not used to seeing.

I had to watch this 1st i almost missed it!! Lol

Here's me still using my two single pawl 30 tooth Snap On 3/8 ratchets I've had for 20 years.

I’ve had an 80 tooth snap on from 2003. Bought of the truck myself

Thank you very much for the comparison! 👍 I am impressed with the robust yolk. But aesthetically, not crazy about the T10's on the show side again. I am not a professional technician, but I do love my dual 80's. Not sure if it's worth the upgrade for me.

I hate how they pretty much look identical to the icon ratchet... I think I'll stick with the dual 80

I saw one on the truck 2 weeks ago. The back drag is stiffer than all my 80 tooth ratchets. Not impressed.

I’m waiting for Snap on to make a 180 tooth ratchet..combine them both…😁 Actually, this was a great video..I love my long handled comfort grip 3/8”..it’s my go to.

I own some Snap On ratchets, but is it me or do you start to kinda miss the quick release button? I spent extra on a Koken quarter incher just to get the QR option.

Maybe Williams will upgrade to a higher tooth count ratchet now..

Likely just weaken/shorten the spring to reduce backdrag.

Nice work Steve ..Thanks for showing..✌

oh man the cliffhanger at the end 😩 ill look forward to the next episode 🥹🥹

Don't care for the cursive logo like the original🤣

When did snap on actually release the dual 80 ratchets?

At 3:18 is the underneath side of the grip.

That steep angle gives it alot of backdrag they should come in at a lower angle like a koken much lighter backdrag

So the fan boys gunna come out and say how snap on pioneered this ratchet and the best thing on the planet even though many others have had 100-120 teeth for some time now ?

The font is terrible. You can barely read it because it looks blurred

Hey I have a FKF80 with a date code from 2007 though I'd let you know oh and nice videos by the way

The sk ratchet I have the pawls are twice as thick as a normal pawl.

Still waiting for them since first mentions months ago none in the uk till may/june

What snap on model is that long ratchet you have there?

Automotive guys are funny. “300 bucks for a ratchet? No problem gotta have professional tools!” Calipers that provide vitally important important potentially engine ruining information though… lol. Not directed at your in particular just something funny I’ve noticed on expensive hand tool reviews.

Snappy pulled these from the market. Too much back drag and locking up too. Garbage and an embarrassment.

Dual 80 all the way...dual 100's are trash
