mkae your ratchets feel amazing!

a tool and garage forum i keep on talked a lot about using Permatex 81950 Engine Assembly lube in ratchets. It's $4 a bottle from Adcanced Autoparts. I got an old snapon ratchet from the flea market that felt terrible. so i soaked it in ATF, took it apart, cleaned it out, put some lube in it. and wow it feels very nice for a fine tooth ratchet. my craftsmans were newer and cleaner so i just dropped some lube into it, amazing. i did this while watching TV and played with the ratchet some so the excess lube would bleed out. made a huge difference in my ratchets! so much smoother now.

juts a though :D

As a side note, new Snap On rachets are sealed units, not supposed to be serviced, taking it apart will void the warrenty as per my Snap On dealer.

then i think you need a new snap-on guy.

Well he will warrenty anything for me, but I just know the head of the rachet says "Sealed head, opening may void warrenty". Its the new design rachets by Snap on just came out like 3-4 months ago. Just a heads up...

ya heard they were changing the head design couple months back. thats why I got my tool kit for such a steal at the time.

got my dad a new F80 for christmas... it feels amazing! but theres no way to tell if its been opened.

this works better for lower tooth count ratchets anyway.
