- Old Snap-On ratchet adapter possibly from 1939? Looks to be one of their earlier models.

Today it’s The “Snap-On” Chronicles. 👍Interesting.
Ha! Yes 👍
I picked one up in the mid 90s to use with a 3/8th drive Snap-on non ratcheting dial type torque wrench.
If I see a late model one I might pickup another. The more recent ones seem to be able to be taken apart unlike this one in the video.
This model comes apart via hammering the anvil once the pin is out. Using the impact to slowly shift the ring and body off the anvil. Had to take one apart a few years ago because the spring had worn down. Truck guy wouldn't do anything with it since he never seen one before and it was bought off the truck probably 60 years ago. They're still useful but not as much for mechanics since torqometres are ratcheting now. Was popular a little ways back because torqometres were basically breaker bars with a dial. Further back to cut down on materials for war times and for efficiency. Now they're only good for t bars and speeders really since you can spin the bolt down quicker then find an ideal position to apply torque and revert to said position like a ratchet. Basically if you're running fasteners or alot of bolts it's a go to. Also still used excessively for aircrafts since there's an abundance of fasteners all over.
Hey you have a lot of good info. Thanks for your input👍
@@snapringchronicles3020 no problem. Seems we have the same hobby and it's always nice to share some info on these old pieces. If you take another run at this piece I'd like to see what it's actually supposed to look like inside instead of the mess that was in mine too.
Also pin comes out fairly easy twisting and pulling with vice grips. Used a rubber strip over mine to avoid damaging it.
When I get a chance I’m going to go back and try that, thanks again 👍
IT WORS GREAT IN THE SPEED HANDLE SPECIALLY AT AIR LINER LINE MAINTANENCE WHEN THERE IS NO COMPRESOR FOR AN AIR ONE
Mines from the 60's and has a threaded ring similar to how Williams uses with the 2 holes. It is still difficult to disassemble tho.
I could be wrong but I suspect this on might be threaded also. That’s just a hunch, I have no evidence.
Snap-On still makes these, it's Model S77A, the dealer will not replace your because it still works. I want to say Herbrand was the inventor of the ratchet adapter.
Some socket sets didn't come with ratchet. Some came with a flex head (breaker bar) or a tee handle so possibly thays why.
Thanks for the info 👍
Maybe you needed a little bit more torque with the ratchet and you didn't have a ratchet that long and it was easier to put the ratchet head on then to go get the other ratchet change the socket over go get a bar to make it longer etcetera etcetera just saying
Yup, sound good 👍
your model is the first-generation adapter. Not very serviceable. They re-designed the adapter so it could be taken apart for oiling. Your ring is presses in and so is the selector switch. you have a real collector piece seeing it is the first generation.
I think there’s one older Snap On which looks like they have cutouts on the sides. That one I’ve seen on eBay for like a lot of money 💰
i think maybe it was for lug nuts to take off tires back it the day compressors were not popular... but i think that sue breakers bar crack all the nuts first on the wheel then put add, on and wrench them all off real fast.??? thats my uneducated guess. LOL
Hey that could be👍
Pretty sure it was designed to use with needle type torque wrenches, as they do not ratchet.
