that's why I use it, only takes a little bit, wipe the excess off, it stays where I put it and it doesn't leak out.

But it's like 20ish a can...

I use plain ole motor oil on ratchets, Delvac 1300 to be exact.

$10-12 for me...we use a lot of it at work, and I order all parts and supplies, so I know all the vendors. I have personal accounts at many of the same places and most have me setup with the same or close to the same pricing my work gets

the best is my Airgas account...I know the regional manager, and he set my account up, every time I go in there they pull up my account and ask how the hell my price is so cheap, after seeing how little I actually buy from them.... I just tell them to ask their manager

Since this thread has turned from wrenches to tool porn here is my most useful recent tool acquisition. Ingersol right angle impact.

How strong is that guy? I have air ratchets on my shelf that are useless to me but I have an ingersoll regular impact and it's special

I have some older matco and some other brand guns...theyre just collecting dust now.
ive switched over to Ingersoll "MAX" titanium guns...theyre so simple, any internal problems with them and it only takes 2 minutes to figure out...they are hard to beat

I have a snap on in the work truck (not my truck) and a Mac in the shop they're pretty good but the ingersoll is way stronger only thing I don't like bout em is they're scary strong ( rung off the studs on a tractor trailer) 1/2 drive.... That's unfuckinbelievable

I gots a few air ratchets and impacts, Nothing fancy though.

It's 180 ftlb 3/8". It's not a ton but it will take off anything on the front of a motor besides the crank bolt.

I've had this one for a while and it's only beat by a friends top end Mac gun.

So I need to look between "On" and "Off" on the ratchet head? I saw nothing on either side of the handle.

It looks that way , OK was not smart enough to ask ehere the code was,was more worried about fixing my ratchet and getting my vj4d wisconsin i just rebuilt started on the bench lol

It's kinda a random thing they put em in different places for example this one is not there I've not found where it is yet still looking

 

[jakethesnake]

It's odd to me I have 4 snap on 15+ inch ratchets all the "same" however that last one I have I can't find the date code on it I'll be looking at all my random snap on stuff now for dates... I have the same ratchet as yours in the picture guido I have a 1/2 and 3/8 I'll try to look at them tomarrow
