Nice job. Boy, the way you (and others) dive into those ratchets fearlessly makes me envious. I'm so afraid of ruining the wrench. Thanks for posting. Watching videos like this help.
Thanks Ben! My biggest worry is loosing that little ball!
Me too!
Cool Ratchet, I really like the look and style of it! And you defeating the ball and spring as you did was worth the admissions fee 🤠👍 nice!
I have never seen one that old The inside pieces look like new Glad you kept the finish original
I hope I'm in as good shape when I'm 77!
Thanks 357magdad. I now have a repaired and fully functional Snap-on 71-N 1/2" ratchet. It broke the year before last when one of the teeth broke off the ratchet gear while I was trying to remove a forklift wheel. I called Snap-on's customer service after watching your video and had a very pleasant conversation with Reo about my broken vintage model E (1944) ratchet and he sent me the same repair kit you received-at no charge. Although the new ratchet gear had more/finer teeth, it fit and works perfectly. I also installed the new ratchet selector pawl and spring with integrated pivot head (I did not need to use the new screws-LOL). Thank you for posting this video of yours as it woke me up to repairing my ratchet which was my dad's from when he had a repair garage in Oakland, CA after he returned from fighting in WWII. And thank you Snap-on.
I'm glad you had a good experience with the folks at Snap-on! It's awesome that you were able to fix your dad's ratchet!
That is a sweet old ratchet! I bought a 1949 version (round handle, same head) out of the used junk pile on a SO truck for $15. The dealer said it was WW2 so not covered by warranty. When I pointed out that the war ended in 1945 he promptly put a new kit in it, and I still love using it 20 years later!
It seems like a solid design.
I don’t have machine tools to make totally broken tools, so this is exactly the sort of restore I love to do….. just needed some tlc to live another 💯 years - nice job 👍
Thanks Steve! You don't need a lot of equipment to have fun cleaning up old tools!
Nice repair and clean up Magdad. Great find.
Thanks John!
Great job getting that pawl back in. I haven’t worked on any Snap-on ratchets, only Craftsman. I’m really surprised Snap-On still provides kits. The wrench turned out so well! 🔧
Thanks Robert! The folks at Snap-on hooked me up!
that is one beautiful vintage user nearly 80 yrs and still going thats when tools were meant to last my grandfather and father had the same style ratchet Herbrand tools had the same style ratchet as snap on nice find 357magdad
I was happy to find it at the flea market!
I love the sound of a fresh lubed ratchet. That cleaned up nice. Manufacturers seem to be helpful with rebuild kits and small parts. S-K provided me a rebuild kit for my ratchet at no cost. Great job. Thanks for the fun. 🤠
Thanks Mark! The folks at Snap-on were very helpful.
I just love old ratchets like this......I bet this ratchet originally was probably used by a WWII serviceman after he returned from the war...Maybe not.....But still a member of the silent generation bought this ratchet back when EVERYTHING was made in the USA.....You have a beautiful piece of Americana in your hands.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It was made to last too!
Nice ratchet wrench! Amazing that snap on had a repair kit. Great job, Magdad!
Thanks Bill! The folks at Snap-on were very helpful!
Nice job on the vintage snap-on ratchet.
Thanks David!
The stories that ratchet could tell would be very interesting.
It would be fun to know who owned it!
Good job. I adore snap on and the history of that company. I have a 1963 and 1970 ratchet. That 1945 can go another 70 years no problem. Snap on makes multi generational tools, I use mine all the time.
Thanks for watching! It seems well made and the folks at Snap-on were very helpful!
What an absolutely awesome ratchet! WW2 Bonus! That would not leave my hoard! 😁. Great Job as usual! Huzzah for Snap-On tools! 👍👍👍
Thanks! it's a cool old ratchet!
Nice ratchet! Always great to see Snap On backing their products.. Thanks!
Thanks ScoutCrafter! The folks at Snap-on were very helpful.
I'm no snap on fan at all but that's a pretty wrench! Real quality. Great job Magdad.
Thanks Alex! It seems like a sturdy design. Snap-on was very responsive when I contacted them about the screws.
Great cleanup of a fine old ratchet. Good for another 100 years. That was good thinking about contacting Snap On for replacement screw . I probably would have tried the local hardware store then been frustrated when they didn't have the right screw. Regarding the cadmium plating, I have some old wrenches that say "wartime finish" and are also thinner than normal. But they are very serviceable.
Snap-on was very responsive. They get a thumbs up from me! It is dangerous to breath in cad plate dust.
You got yourself a War Baby!! Ya gotta save that!! Well done Bud!!☻
Thanks RoadKing! I have a hard time keeping stuff...
Nice job on the clean-up. Well done. Good for several more decades.
Thanks for telling us about the date code. Very useful to know.
Dave.
Thanks Dave! It's good for another 77 years!
Great score on the ratchet. Perfect results.
Thanks!
Great find! I also have a No 71 N with a few minor differences (screw in selector switch also). When I emailed Snap-on they said they were made from 1939-47. No repair kit so if it breaks they would replace it with the $183.00 S80A Ratchet.
It seems very well made. The folks at Snap-on were very helpful.
@@357magdad Thanks for doing the video.
There is a repair kit that will fit it, I have the same ratchet.
Great video 👍 I really like how you do the voiceover after filming. Fantastic job cleaning this old beauty up, I'm sure it will last a life time. Well done.
Thanks! Sometimes I add a voice over, and sometimes I talk as I go.
@@357magdad oh wow really. The audio quality sounds spot on.
Nice job Magdad! Great video! Thank You for sharing
Thanks Jack!
Nice looking snap on ratchet. Looks like it works great now with your clean up.
Thanks Larry! It's ready to use!
Love what you do...continue all your great videos...OnWard
Thanks Uncle Black!
Never have been much for Snap on but I liked that one it turned out nice. The price tag usually gets me. I have been watching a lot of people that swear by Snap on. They do look like good tools. Wish I could find some that needed a little help. You always amaze me with what you find. Me and my my son went to 3 flea markets over the weekend and didn't find much of anything. Now if you wanted dishs you had it made. Thanks
I know what you mean Glen - flea markets can be hit or miss. Sometimes there is only a few vendors with old tools - and they want ebay money for them! I usually do better at yard sales, but it is a lot more driving around.
Nice job! I love cleaning up old ratchets. I don’t like using super Lube because it gets rid of that great ratcheting sound. I use a light oil like 3in1, which is what I think they intended to be used because of the oiling port. I personally use Motorkote Hyper Lube.
I bet a good quality oil would work well!
That cleaned up exceptionally well! Nice job and thanks.
Thanks Tony! It wasn't in bad shape for 77 years old!
Magdad ole boy!!! You always brighten up my day with your videos my Brother. I bet Chuck was lobbying you all along to put on some of his paste!!!
Chuck was busy working on a Valentine's Day present for Mrs Magdad. It will be on Instagram tomorrow!
Good job Magdad...... you're lucky to have access to such tools. There isn't much to be had here in Alabama.
Mrs Magdad and I go to a lot of yard sales and flea markets. The hunt is part of the fun!
I have that same ratchet and I lubed it with regular wheel bearing grease.. They work silky-smooth and have been for probably 40+ years.. Another great video M.D.. Love your choice of music..Take care my friend...
Thanks Gary! Everybody had their favorite lube for ratchets - I bet they all do the job!
@@357magdad I'd say so, anything is better than metal to metal...
Great job! I’d still be trying to get the spring and ball back in…lol
Thanks Gary! It took me a while to figure it out!
Pretty cool you could still get screws for it. A nice old ratchet! Well done!
The folks at Snap-on were very helpful!
Really nice job, what a great vintage wrench 🔧👍😊
Thanks Sparky! It's in pretty good shape for 77 years old!
I love snap on, very nice clean up magdad
Thanks Dale! They were very good about helping me out with new screws!
@@357magdad That was so good to hear in this day and age. Customer service for a 75 year old rachet, outstanding
Nice Job Magdad ! Cool find It looks good . Saved another old tool ! . I went to A Flea market on Saturday . I didn't find anything that old . But I Did get A Dremel 395 cheap that just needed penetrating oil .
Thanks Wayne! You never know what you'll find at the next sale!
Another great resto. Loved Bar Crawl.
Thanks Kim!
Was Chuck sulking in the corner as no Flitz was used?. Lovely sympathetic restoration and proof of the quality of 80 year old tools !.
Chuck was busy polishing a Valentine's Day gift for Mrs Magdad.♥
I love your knowledge about these tools and their history. It’s fun to learn from your videos! Great cleanup Magdad!
Thanks Merlin! I enjoy researching the old tools I find!
Cept I'm pretty sure he's wrong about the date code. ALL 71n ratchet have that G on it. He's supposed to find the "G" that LOOKS like his G,he didn't do that
very well done. the explanations added a great deal. I especially enjoy your sharing the patent and dating info you researched and found.
Thanks Joan! Researching the old tools I find is part of the fun!
That's a cool old ratchet snap on can't beat them with a hammer
Thanks Larry! It seems like a sturdy design!
Antique snap on tools have a cult following $$$
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks David! It would be a good addition for a collector.
Good for another 75+ years
I agree!
Great job magdad looks fantastic after the clean ready for many more years of use 😁🍻👍
Thanks!
Great video thanks for sharing your time and skill 🍺🍺👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks Brian!
Very cool! Snap-on is one of my favorite brands, and it’s cool to see just how good quality of tools they made even back them👍.
It seems like a sturdy design. Snap-on was very responsive with spare parts.
Sweet score and a great project also.
Thanks Eric!
Cool. I just picked up a 71-N at an estate sale this morning. It has a missing tooth on anvil gear and the selector switch is missing, but otherwise is in good shape. Also, picked up a frozen up Thorsen 1/2 drive ratchet (got it soaking in white vinegar). I also have a 71-M (military issue?) which is in mint condition. Also, thanks for the date code info-it is very helpful.
Thanks for watching! The folks at Snap-On were super helpful. Maybe they can help you get your 71-N running again!
@@357magdad I'm gonna do that once I have it cleaned up and back together. Thanks.
Very nice! Great job looks like new! Thanks 😊 🙏
Thanks Mike! It looks good for 77 years old!
That came together well. It was kind of cool Snap on could still hook you up with parts.
Thanks! The folks at Snap-On were super helpful!
Looks like a very robust wrench.
I think it is too!
Some Wrenches have "Sexy Lines"........This one has Lines like a Female East German Weightlifter.
🤣
Nice clean up came out nice!
Thanks!
Great restoration as always!
Thanks Chris!
An old strong American made ratchet.....Sweet👍🏻
It seems like a sturdy design! Good for another 77 years!
Nice 😀, cool music, regards
Thanks! Mrs Magdad and I have fun picking out the music!
Great job on a classic! That ball bearing always makes my stomach twitch when I encounter one….you made it look easy! No Flitz?
Thanks John! Chuck was busy using the Flitz on a Valentine's Day gift for Mrs Magdad.
always enjoy your videos
Thanks Trevor! I'm glad you enjoy my videos!
Very cool ratchet. Sounds better than most!
It is ready for many more years of use!
Awesome job. Turned out nice. 👍🔪👊🔥🍻
Thanks WM3!
The ball on the top of the head and on the back side, should be oilers.
They are oilers. I like to reassemble with Super Lube.
Awesome job man I can't wait to see what magic you do all those items I gave you
Thanks Tristan!
Love the videos, great job. Thank you
Thanks Chris! I'm glad you are enjoying my content!
I have that exact ratchet! I inherited it from my grandfather.
It seems like a rugged design!
Oh no, where’s the flitz, Chuck is going to be so disappointed. Oh well if you had a Cornwall one my brother would have fixed it for you. Lol
Chuck was busy working on a Valentines Day gift for Mrs Magdad. I'll post it on Instagram tomorrow!
@@357magdad very sweet, I knew you two had a soft spot for her. Tell her from another crocheter Happy Valentine’s Day too.
@@gayle525 Will do!
How weird , the socket I found in my latest haul was G…1945……
Tools with date codes are great!
Those are fun refurbishing projects. Great job, better to much than to little lube. Thanks for the video.
There is no such thing as too much lube! 😁
Great job.
Thanks Ernie!
Do you have an untrasonic cleaner? I can’t live without it cleaning old tools. Gets grease and grime out that a heavy hand cleaning just doesn’t. After you’re all done with everything on a tool it gets the flitz out of all the cracks and lettering. I got a cheap Amazon one and use dollar store degreaser in it.
Ryan, which ult. cleaner did youbuy?
@@johnmclaurin don’t get the one I got because they just raised the price to 51, I paid $34. But it’s the gtsonic 750ml model and it’s too small. I’m looking to get a 2liter or bigger like the harbor freight model which is also heated. It’s $89 but goes on sale a lot.
Little tip, clean things in glass mason jars. You put the detergent and hot water in a jar and set it in the UScleaner and then add water to the cleaner to the fill level. That way when you’re done you just dump the water out and your ultrasonic cleaner is spotless. Much easier to clean mason jars. Glass works better than plastic for the vibration. But it lets you clean multiple things in different cleaners without changing the water in the ultrasonic cleaner.
@@Ryan-lz8zm Thanks! Appreciate the advise!
I just use an old toothbrush and hum really loud😁
That looks awesome, a ratchet worth owning. How reasonable was the price?
Thanks Hal! I don't remember paying much for the three tool lot at that flea market.
i have the same one too it was my Dads, looks like the date stamp is 39 or 40
You have a good old wrench!
Vintage grease. Lol
It was starting to turn back into dinosaur poop!
It would've been hilarious if you ended the video after you put in the two screws at 1:08. "The screws fit great" fade to black.
I should have done that!
👍🙂
nice
Thanks Don!
Nice work. Is there a contact at Snap-on to research parts? I picked up a 71-10 ratchet at a sale and it is missing the thumb lever. Inside isn't smooth, either. Haven't opened it yet.
I just emailed them some photos of what I had and they were very helpful.
Vintage grease they don't make anything like they used to lol
It turned back into dinosaur poop!
I just picked one of these up this morning at my local flea market for $5. The selector is broken and it is also missing a screw. Do you know if the selector in the kit was the same as the original?
I think the kit they sent me was for a newer ratchet. The only part I was able to use was the screws. Give the folks at Snap-on a call, they are super helpful.
Thanks Magdad. I'll do that
Cool Ratchet, I really like the look and style of it! And you defeating the ball and spring as you did was worth the admissions fee 🤠👍 nice!
Thanks Vic! The ball and spring gave me some trouble!
