just an fyi snap-on uses super lube in their ratchets from the factory ... I'd assume a dry rebuild is going to wear faster, and not be as smooth of an action.
Great job! Next time if u wanna get some stuck rusty screws off the ratchet, instead of a chisel, you could use one of those impact screwdrivers that are used on rotor screws.
I'm lucky enough to have some Snap On ratchets, but I also have some made by non tool truck brands, such as Milwaukee, Wright and Facom, (a French brand), and quite honesty, although the Snap On are built very well, and tough, but quite often, they are rather too 'chunky' to fit into tight spaces, and a bit heavy to use. I actually find myself going to the Facom more often. The same goes for the wrenches, I really like the feel and head angles of the Facoms.
The facom or mac wrenches are the best looking wrenches. As far as snap on being to chunky to fit in tight places, thats just bs. If it was really a issue no one would buy them. Yea their thicker but it really doesnt make a difference other then the thickness driving me crazy since a harbor frieght ratchet is thinner. But Snap on just released a new 100 tooth ratchet that is actually super thin like the other brands and they switched to a steel on off switch. They look pretty good and are super thin.
What? You trash talk Harbor Freight/ICON at the start of the video then use the ICON bit driver ratcheting wrench at the end of the video to tighten up the screw holding the head to the handle. Seriously though, nice job on cleaning that ratchet up!!
Nice junkyard find
No Grease?
that's what brought me to the comments

You did great filming and editing this video on an iphone!
Marvel Mystery Oil does wonders on stuff like this.
Is snap on nice stuff sure but realistically icon is just as good in the same categories
Noticed your box hand carry box, how're you liking that box?

Lol that's a VIM ratchet (PN: RFB400K). But similar to ICONS, yes.
A icon bit would have stripped the screw head from being sized incorrectly.
