    Ias a mechanic I have both 3/8 & 1/4 long neck. Two things don't use the 1/4 to break loose tight bolts the drive will shear off the anvil. And watch what your backing the bolt into. Ya may have to remove an engine to recover your ratchet

    Pink anti theft tools. That's funny and hits close to home as my dad painted and dipped the tools he kept on his truck for job sight use. Never had anyone claim his tool as theirs again. My Dad is long gone now but I took a job at a Marina that has several different departments. We couldn't keep brooms, shovels and squeegees in the shop. Seems like all the other departments would leave the stuff laying where ever someone used it last but no one would know where that was. Our stuff usually was returned to the wall where we kept them so other outside the service shop knew where to find the stuff without looking for theirs. Painting them pink changed life for us in the shop. We also found out that the guy named NOT ME they used to blame it on didn't even work their.

    My favorite part of the Milwaukee paddle is you use the ratchet then set it down near by. Then when you reach over the fender the paddle gets depressed and the ratchet goes off. My usual spot is right under the belly, so it gives a nice surprise. Then when I jump back the ratchet goes sliding down into the engine bay to be caught by some random item just out of normal reach.

    Got 5 of the Snap-on ratchets. 1/4 brushed, 1/4 brushed long neck, 1/4 brushless long neck, 3/8 brushed long neck brute, and 3/8 brushless long neck. I use them all day home and at work at a fleet mechanic. I've never had one snap back in the opposite direction I was going when I broke a fastener loose. The reason I think this is happening to you is the hex bit is pre -loading a twist before the fastener breaks loose. The sudden release of pre-load gets thrown back into the ratchet and causes the ratchet mechanism to change direction. My suggestion is to use stubby (3/8-1/2 long) hex bits if you can. They have less ability to twist and store energy. Try this with some long (6"+) hex bits, the thinner shank the more flex, you'll definitely see what I'm talking about. I've had some hand ratchets break with the pre-load from long hex bits. When I'm talking about hex bits I mean 3/8 drive and 6-10mm hex, or the equivalent SAE.

    I find that the ratchet jumping only happens with Allen head bits or when using an extension. I think it's the twist whipping out like a torsion spring that does it.

  • @spelunkerd
    @spelunkerd 5 місяців тому +16

    I share your desire for a small head, bur remember that when the lever arm is longer, there is more mechanical torque on the head when you try to crack a bolt loose manually. So, I'll throw out a guess that the small head didn't stand up to normal before the motor is started. I have the 1/4" drive version of this ratchet and it has a small head that I use carefully.

    Ive used the m12's 1/4 and 3/8 short and long fuels for several years in the cut throat flat rate automotive environment. Never broke the ratchets, did break the 3/8 stubby impact. Once of the hammering bit gears, once of the electronics. They will work as a hammer when needed. The paddle on them is genius, if you want a button like the snapoff you can just pop the pin out.

    i have the 3/8 snap on long neck, pretty decent tool, had it 2years now and its still working as good as new. its pretty tough as i have ran it over twice with my truck due to putting the tool on top of the tire then proceeding to forget about it until i move the truck and feel the bump. as a machinist never knew how useful it would be. its tits for chasing dirt out of tapped holes on a cnc table. its also about 3x faster changing vise jaws. and when i gotta use the 2x2 1/2-13 table is mega awesome for installing modular componets to secure a part. i would buy it again even tho its was 500 usd.

  • @sixtyfiveford
    @sixtyfiveford 5 місяців тому +2

    I've used virtually every cordless ratchet and the best feel in the hand is the Makita 12v. Small, quick, one hand direction change. I sold off our returned every Milwaukee one as they're so poorly designed. Partly because of the 30yr old battery design tech they refuse to give up. Just picked up the DeWalt sealed head and it is a copy of virtually all the good things of Makita with more power. Probably the best 3/8-1/2" ratchet on the market( yes, it's both sizes) The Makita also have dual anvils and is the best 1/4-3/8 ratchet.

  • @tb3687
    @tb3687 5 місяців тому +12

    I’ve had both, and the points you shared is why I went to the extended reach snap-on. Head/body of the Milwaukee was just too thick to get into places and I found I’d hit that big arm and spin the socket while trying to hold it in tight areas. The snap on you can just hold it with other fingers and the trigger was ready when you needed. And the head size was too big for a lot of areas (normally not an issue for most “chores”) Snap on long neck was the way to go for me.
    Merry Christmas folks

    Right on with Little Bear's math practice! As a auto tech in a real-world mom 'n' pop rust shop, I've gone through FOUR FUEL rachets to only two brushed versions, all 1/4". I R&R dash boards for heater/evap cores all year, plus all of the other auto repair shit... The F-R detent is the only fail on the brushed heads. 3 of the FUEL heads failed younger, but then 2 shit on my $50 head kits with the green pcb death (thin conformal?) short after. BUT the weakest point is having only one Milfuckee service center in a 200 mile radius, who don't give a shit to warranty anything and will not order you a head kit at your own expense. I'd still NEVER buy a Snap-On cordless tool when that $$$ would buy 2 or 3 of the Mils...

    Just a warning about that hot snot they are using: Every time I've seen that color in electronics It has been a design defect. The stuff starts off yellow and gradually shifts to a darker and darker brown color as it gets heated up, and that color change is when is goes from being an insulator to a conductor. You want to talk about cheap? Talk about the hottest, highest-current areas of your tools and electronics coming with built-in delayed obsolescence. Have a look for guitar amp and computer UPS hot-snot short-circuit videos. A few different creators--electrical engineer EEV Blog being one of them--have recorded some pretty in-depth videos about the issue.

    To really get Alabama lock-tight you need to put a 2' to 5' piece of pipe on your ratchet. When you break the socket or the ratchet it's tight enough to hold. That's why we buy stuff with lifetime guarantees, so we can take it back and get it replaced.

    Lol. Idk what the heck you do to your tools. I've had my 3/8" ratchet for at least 6 yrs, still going strong, but 1 difference is that I'm cognizant of where I hold the tool. I specifically stay off the very end with the pixy box, so there's that. I do like the snappy in the same range, as they seem to have more break away torque in comparison to Milwaukee but prefer the overall feel of the latter.
    Always appreciate the breakdowns. Merry Christmas sir! 😊🤗🎅🎄

    In my experience with my couple electrical milwaukees, that metal back plate on the motor helps transfer the torque into the handle in a more robust fashion to try and keep plastics and internals attached while reefing on it like a breaker bar
