Snap On ratchets battle for the title! 

Thanks man! It is dumb, almost like they want it to fail.

I was going to say the exact same thing, it’s ridiculous to overbuild yoke and then use smaller hardware to hold it together! Unreal snap on! Where did you hire them engineers??

They probably do this on purpose, as some sort of predetermined breaking point, since replacing a screw or a handle is cheaper than replacing broken ratchet gears.

​@@Kaffeetannethis was likely the thinking, I couldn't see a good shot of the yoke ears for the D100 and if they had actually spread or if it was just the pin deflecting. But that pin is going to be far cheaper than the handle or the actual ratchet mechanism for SO reps and way faster to fix. Everything has a weak point, engineering it to be somewhere cheap and easy to fix isn't a bad idea. I know I would rather replace a clutch than rebuild a transmission.

Those style screws are on the dbl box end zero offset flex head reversible ratcheting wrenches (what a mouthful) as well. The spring is also weaker and doesn’t allow the head to tighten up. My dealer said Snap On is aware of the problem (I would hope so) and should correct it in the next round of manufacturing.

Thanks Tyler. 🍻

I had fun making this one 😄

That’s a good ratchet, I’d hang on to it.

Yeah, keep your old ratchet. 👊🏼

More to come, I’m sure

Agreed

So you got the 100 to smooth out? How long have you been using it?

💯

I don’t blame ya.

Once they break it will be your go to I thought the same thing

Uh oh, Snap On fans aren’t going to want to hear that.

@ToolDemos I've been industrial mechanic for 17 years working on marine engine & winches & boats with all gearwrench sunex Pittsburg Milwaukee capri & knipex never owned tools I had to make payments on and never will

Could be. But when it failed, the yoke bent too.

@@ToolDemos perhaps a poor design then? I love my Snap On Rachets . Especially the 1/4 and 3/8 ones.

@@user-fp3gx2ow7p I do have some complaints about the ratchet, in fact my go-to ratchets are still the dual 80’s. My hunch is that Snap On will revise the 100’s soon and stamp and ‘A’ after the part number.

💯

Nice to know it won’t come apart on you when you do load it up…like we all do.

Certain ratchets for certain jobs. Not gonna add a cheat bar (which I will never do) on a 10” ratchet. That’s why you buy 20”+ ratchets for those type of jobs. I have almost 💯 more ratchets and there’s nothing I won’t be able to do also including the famous breaker bar. But I find this test plausible and has no meaning really.
