[Shop-talk] Quality Ratchets Snapon FM 70

[Carscarscarz at aol.com]

>>>>*I have a couple of those li'l 3/8 drive Snap-On rachets built in a 1/4
drive
handle,*
*Model FM 70 . . handiest thing in the box but they get misused and both
have been broken for 15 years.

I have one that's about 30 years old - don't remember the date code. It's not
used much but is really handy when needed.

Snap-On changed the part number to FM 70A and then to B (I think). They do
have repair kits. The new sealed head version is FC 936:

&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

The index page for repair parts are:

It may take a while to search through to find what you need. A dealer would
know which kit you need since the basic ratchet mechanisms are common to a
range of handles.
