So the opening of this video is the very best Snap On Tool Rep of them all. Buddy Hobbs. He was my Rep for years. I can still see him step off his truck and shout It's Tool Time! He always had a positive spirit and if you even asked about a product he would have it for you the next week and lay it in your hand to see if you were interested. He believed in what he sold and it showed. He was so much more than a salesman, he was a friend. It was so good to see him again even if it was just for a few seconds. Hats off to you Buddy where ever you are today........Mike Edwards

Love the multi position head. 90% of the time it's just a sweet ratchet but, then a control arm or exhaust or other component gets in your way and being able to change the angle of that head is amazing.

I'm a home mechanic and 95% of all my tools are Snap-on. My main job is I buy and sell crude oil but as my hobby I restore and repair vehicles with my kids and snap-on is the name we make our memories around. My kids from age 1 to 10 get excited to be able to get on the snap-on truck on wednesdays and pick out new tools to add to our epic and slide top boxes

Snap On ratchets are amazing. I had to do a Chevy v8 diesel head job and could not fit anything into the last rear head bolts by the firewall. I contemplated but in the end all that would fit was my 3/8 Snap on FL80. It cracked all headbolts and torqued them up also. AMAZING

Don’t use anything but snap On ratchets. Love them. Can’t say enough good things about them. I have chrome, comfort, and the hard handles, and I have to say, I constantly go back to the chrome. I like the feel of the comforts the most, but it’s so much easier to clean the chromes, and I work so much faster not worrying about cleaning them

3:54 I have several Snap on ratchets, and especially like the dual 180 comfort grip models. * The 1/2" locking flex, I don't like at all. If you barely bump the lock it will lock when you don't want it to. Annoying. I removed the lock,so it's just a flex head now.

I sure wish they made them with a push button socket release. I have many snap on ratchetets but I find myself reaching for Matco or a Craftsman. Some of my SnapOn ratchets are 3 years old and look brand new still, barely used. I do brake alignment, and suspension work only. Dirty and greasy. It's very difficult to remove sockets without the push button socket release.

Great video great detail. The multi-Position Ratchet do you guys even make that tho? have had a look on your website both UK/USA but can't find a thing about it? Now many years ago i heard a Patent infringement was going around regarding the Multi-position tool and it ended preventing you from continuing to manufacture this tool, i presume it was true as its near enough impossible to find one with out resorting to the likes of E-bay etc. Now With this being a new video post and the mention of said ratchet, would i be wrong in presuming that we could be seeing a come back of this mighty fine tool? Would be great to see it back, as she has helped myself and many mechanic friends reach tight spots? So Mr....Snap-ON is it coming back ?

Why would you have scars if all your ratchets are snap on? Id rather learn my lesson the first time around. Also, why would you be bashing your hands because of a ratchet? Thats what breaker bars are for, so it doesnt mess up the teeth. Wrong tool for the job will fail no matter what brand it is.
